Baotou held the 5th China Baotou Rare Earth Industry Forum, Baotou Steel Rare Earth (Group) Hi-Tech Co., general manager Zhang describes the current situation of foreign rare earth resources, and the cost advantage of China's rare earth ore carried out a detailed analysis that , the future of light rare earth supply is likely to remain China's rare earth era.

China's rare earth mine production costs are much lower than foreign rare earth ore. With Bayan Obo iron mining, ore-situ leaching of heavy-ion technology is not comparable foreign rare earth mine. Almost all foreign rare earth project is rare for a single product project. Foreign mining methods in a project to re-open pit blasting style and ground-based exploitation.

Rare bullish market participants, the market has a small amount of purchases. Waste relatively large magnetic fluctuations in market prices, and the prices continue to rebound reversal.

Dysprosium market price is more confusing, many manufacturers traders reflects badly on pricing, insiders reflect current dysprosium oxide with votes at least 2.15 million yuan / ton, the market situation inquiry to find goods increased. Dysprosium iron market, there are manufacturers do not offer 2 million yuan with votes / ton.

Gadolinium iron market today offer with fares at 215,000 yuan / ton, with no ticket price of 185,000 yuan / ton. Although metal manufacturers raised praseodymium neodymium, dysprosium iron and gadolinium iron prices, but the late rally was not able to go long and difficult to make a clear expectation.

August 12: Combating rare private mining operations will officially begin, upstream manufacturers still offer bullish downstream due to limited demand more cautious to accept the goods, the domestic rare earth prices high stalemate.

Lanthanum oxide mainstream manufacturers tax price 27,000-29,000 yuan / ton. Cerium oxide mainstream manufacturers tax price 28,000-29,000 yuan / ton.

Praseodymium oxide mainstream manufacturers tax price 500,000-510,000 yuan / ton. Neodymium oxide 330,000-340,000 yuan / ton.

Praseodymium neodymium mainstream manufacturers tax price 345,000-355,000 yuan / ton, praseodymium neodymium metal mainstream manufacturers tax price of 435,000-445,000 yuan / ton.

Europium oxide phosphor grade mainstream manufacturers tax price 4,700-4,900 yuan / kg. Terbium oxide phosphor grade mainstream manufacturers tax price 4,100-4,300 yuan / kg.

Dysprosium oxide mainstream manufacturers tax price 230-240 yuan / ton, dysprosium iron mainstream manufacturers tax price 230-240 yuan / ton.

Rare earth industry to upgrade the second wave rectification actions. August 7, led by the Ministry, Ministry of Public Security and other eight ministries joint special rectification program of action of rare earth industry official release. From August 15 to November 15 to carry out special operations, with emphasis on investigating a number of private mining, poaching and other illegal typical cases. This is also the first time in two years, on the rare earth industry, the largest special rectification action.

Remediation work will be in the fight against illegal poaching and eliminate unhealthy competition, the formation of a large group of rare earth play an active role.

As an important strategic resource, rare earth in 2012 along with the global economic downturn, the industry has become one of the most injured, many rare corporate profits or even losses dropped significantly.

Last year, some rare earth products prices fell even reached 75%. Statistics show that in 2012 China rare earth ores, metals and compounds export volume was 1.63 million tons, down 3.5%, and far below the 2012 export quota of 31,000 tons. In addition to the economic downturn impact, rare earth export restricted net decline of domestic enterprises has become an important reason. China was once the world's leading supplier of rare earth, accounting for up to 95%. However, for the protection of scarce resources, since 2007, China began to implement mandatory rare earth production planning, and begin to reduce exports of rare earths. And 2012 is seen as the most stringent regulation of rare earth industry for one year. In this regard, many countries continue to broaden our pipeline of rare earth imports, attention gradually turned to Vietnam, Mongolia, Pakistan and other countries to reduce dependence on China.

Not long ago, the Ministry held a national work conference to further increase the mobilization of rare earth mining, smelting separation, environmental protection, import and export order rectification and strengthening the rare earth industry management, remediation activities are still mainly against rare earth mine private. Affected by the campaign, some sellers worry about rare earth supply, stockpile appear reluctant to sell, resulting in a rapid rebound in the short term prices.

Secondary market, turning the long earth plate up again scenery, rare earth prices have rocketed news sparked renewed enthusiasm to do more, the recent emergence of an underlying stock rally.

"RE prices rebounded inherent to a reasonable price range needs." China Rare Earth Industry Association Deputy Secretary-General Chen Zhanheng in said rare earth prices in the doldrums over the past year, many have been separated smelters unprofitable, or even a loss. Recent affected by various factors, of rare earth price spikes have some element of speculation. "RE prices always fluctuate large, easy to spike."

Recent price increases in the heavy rare earths, dysprosium oxide prices higher, the highest increase of 70% or more. Dysprosium metal in a larger amount of magnetic material in the wind power, hydropower and other fields versatile, the recent price rise may be related to the downstream industry demand for green energy, but the long term, the emergence of alternative technologies will likely make prices fall.

In the three-month renovation period, the Ministry will also timely introduction of relevant regulations, promote the formation of rare earth industry to further regulate long-term mechanism.

"Rare earth industry, the profits of heroin, but not the risk of heroin, various forces can play a role here, not white do not do." Rare earth traders pointed out that the time of low prices 20,000 yuan -3 yuan / ton, when the highest price 400,000 yuan / ton. Low cost, high profit. Rare is more addictive than drugs. This is a chain of interest, and tied to the officials from the people, from the mine to traders, from the local to the central rate of the broader social and market relations.

Profiteering result of repeated illegal mining and smuggling, but also makes the price spike. Combat and regulation that regulate the market, protect the environment. And the establishment of rare earth exchange will help stabilize the market and curb speculation speculation, the formation of a fair, open and impartial rare earth product prices, is conducive to long-term healthy development of rare earth industry.

Remediation industry will accelerate mergers and restructuring. After this round of regulation, does not exclude a large Rare Earth Group approved listing. May 2011, the State Council issued "on the promotion of sustained and healthy development of rare earth industry a number of opinions" made with 1-2 years' time, the basic formation of large-scale enterprises as the leading pattern of rare earth industry, the South ionic rare earth industry's top three bit conglomerate industrial concentration above 80%.

August 8, by the People's Government of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, China Academy of Engineering, China Rare Earth Industry Association and the China Rare Earth Society co-sponsored the Fifth China Baotou Rare Earth Industry Forum held in Baotou, Inner Mongolia. From across the country more than 500 government officials, experts, scholars and entrepreneurs, the focus on the development of rare earth resources, production, scientific research, high-end industrial development of new materials and rare earth industry management as well as industrial restructuring and upgrading, etc. expand exchanges and discussions. For the rare earth industry, the existing deep-seated problems, the Ministry official said at the forum, the next step the Ministry will continue to take five measures to promote the healthy and sustainable development of rare earth industry.

Ministry Secretary Chen Yanhai raw materials at the forum said that, overall, China's rare earth industry management has achieved positive results, the initial realization of the establishment of a unified, standardized and efficient management system milestones, but the industry long-term accumulation of many deep-seated problems remain not been resolved.

China Rare Earth Industry Association Marong Zhang told reporters that the current domestic rare earth black chain is rampant illegal enterprises are defined as no clear criteria, resulting in combating difficult. Against black chain, you need to clear the main responsibility to establish long-term mechanism.

Some in the industry reflects the current resource tax per ton of rare earth mine in northern in 5000 to 14,000 yuan, the South mine in 6000 to 36,000 yuan, plus various taxes and resource taxes accounted for rare earth ore than 50% of the sales price, while the illegal mining of private dug product does not require taxes fees, has a great price advantage. 2012, Southern Rare Earth Separation ion ore smelting enterprises to obtain 70% of unknown origin, mainly private dug illegal mining of minerals. It is a little early to statistics, in 2012 the country illegally amount over 40,000 tons of rare earth minerals, metallurgical products more than 50,000 tons illegal export smuggling phenomenon more prominent in some places.

Chinese Academy of Engineering, China Rare Earth Industry Association, Gan Yong pointed out that China's rare earth permanent magnet materials common more than 80% of the total, high-quality specialty rare earth permanent magnet materials account for only about 10%, and domestic rare earth permanent magnet products for the domestic basic market and exported to international markets for less than 20%. He believes that the next step of rare earth industrial restructuring and upgrading should focus on developing high-end rare earth new materials.

To solve the above problems, Chen Yanhai said the next step will focus on the Ministry to take five measures to be addressed in a targeted manner: First, continue to carry out special operations to combat illegal. Ultra plans focus on combating smuggling and other acts of illegal enterprise immediately ordered to stop production for rectification, confiscate the illegal income. Key areas of government to implement the responsibility Rare units and persons responsible for serious implementation of production planning and controlling the total mined, while strengthening environmental verification. The second is to speed up the formation of large rare earth group. In accordance with the principle of market-oriented, actively carry out work of setting up and properly handle large groups and local business relationships. Third, to further promote the industrial structure adjustment and upgrading. To environmental verification, industry access entry point for the work, and gradually realize clean production, and strictly enforce the elimination of backward production technology and equipment and product manufacturing directories. Fourth is to strengthen environmental protection and access management. State environmental verification rare earth enterprises through the situation, get into the industry, an important criterion for admission. Fifth, to further improve laws and regulations, and strive to early introduction of "Rare Management Regulations" and other documents, a sound management system of rare earth industry. Chen Yanhai also revealed that the late administration also plans to increase resources tax tax reform, the formation mechanism of rare earth prices reasonable efforts to increase local revenue, and promote the ecological restoration of rare earth resources and environmental governance.

Another reporter has learned, China Rare Earth Industry Association, will be completed before the end of the year, "China's rare earth industry, long-term development plan," preparation.

Eight ministries earth "hitting" action finally sounded the horn. This three-month nationwide special rectification action against rare earth industry and efforts are beyond the scope of previous "anti" operations, the industry directly to the "storm" to describe this action rapidly. The reporter believes that the rare earth industry regulation, require storm, need more sunlight.

In recent years, private dug earth Luancai repeated, not only causing serious environmental pollution, but also serious pressure on the informal enterprises living space. Since no environmental costs of illegal miners, ultra low sales a tremendous impact on the market. 2011 and 2012, respectively, rare earth prescriptive mining project was 9.38 million tons and 90,000 tons, but industry estimates, private mine annual production of about 200,000 tons. This leads to rare earth prices fell sharply, some of the rare earth industry, listed companies net profit decline in a row.

Throughout the remediation program, this special action not only checks the relevant indicators of the implementation of the local government, but also on production, sales, distribution inventory situation; only against illegal mining of rare earth behavior, illegal recycling waste products of rare earth enterprises are also included in the striking range . The chain of black interests is the focus of the fight, or even to investigate and deal with a number of typical.

Rare "hitting" was originally designed to regulate the market, however, has not yet begun to fight the tiger, cattle and sheep, but has been hurt. Campaign before the market there has been rumors that some companies stockpile reluctant sellers, rare earth prices soaring all the way since early June, prices of some rare earth metal oxides seven or eight percent within one month.

Rare earth prices spike, visible hand dozen lines. In recent years, the Chinese government will enhance the national strategy of rare earth resources, the implementation of mandatory production plans, but the rare earth enterprises assigned to the production plan targets small, relatively strong demand in the downstream of the case, a certain supply and demand gap. Lured by the huge profits, private rare earth ore repeated, forming a grasp on the prices go, and then relapse into illegal mining of chaos, lower prices of the cycle.

Reporters that the government should change the industry to rely on temporary measures crackdown campaign, introduced the industry standard management approach, the industry regulator together were pushing long-term mechanism to form a standard market order, in particular, should abandon the planned limited production means, so market supply and demand determine the price and yield.

Important to establish similar London Metal Exchange, the New York Mercantile Exchange this earth exchange, so a fair, just and open sun to decide the national strategy of rare earth resources in the price and yield. In this process, the government simply set up barriers to entry and to develop industry standards; strengthen law enforcement and severely punish illegal mining of rare earth resources; promote industry mergers and acquisitions, foster a number with a leading role in the industry, such as Rio Tinto, BHP Billiton Like the international influence of large mining enterprises. These companies rely on their own operational efficiency and consciously regulate rare earth production, rather than performing an index yields, then quoted prices better reflect the effective demand. Thus, rare earth pricing still lies in those hands of domestic enterprises, but also conducive to quell international disputes.

"We are here to work with you on the same front, hoping to stabilize the prices of raw materials, sustainable and healthy development makes the downstream." Fifth Baotou Rare Earth Industry Forum for the Q & A session, there is the case of rare earth enterprises respond Chengdu Galaxy Magnets Joint Stock Company (hereinafter referred to as "Chengdu Galaxy Magnets") General Manager Wu Zhijian statement.

As the larger bonded NdFeB production enterprises, "Our company has worked with other companies to cooperate, with bonded NdFeB magnets made of brushless DC motor instead of the original AC motor, more than 78% performance increase, However, in 2011 to prepare a large number of promotional efforts, but suffered rare earth prices skyrocketing. "Wu Zhijian to the" First Financial Daily "said.

Statistics show that NdFeB sintered NdFeB and bonded NdFeB is divided into two kinds. Wherein the sintered NdFeB permanent magnet materials are widely used in electronics, electrical machinery, medical equipment, toys, packaging, hardware, machinery, aerospace aviation and other fields; bonded NdFeB magnets NdFeB alloy powder is put with ring epoxy resin, plastic, and other additives such as adhesion mixed, and using a molding method such as compression molding, injection molding, molding and calendering, prepared from a composite permanent magnet.

2011, rare earth prices have doubled soaring, partly phased bonded NdFeB enterprises, unable to digest the price skyrocketing cost pressures, re-find prices cheaper alternatives.

Wu Zhijian, at present, the user uses ferrite bonded NdFeB magnets alternative, although not as good as bonded NdFeB magnet motor efficiency motors do, but the cost is greatly reduced. "Only a handful have special requirements for electrical efficiency of products, will use our company's bonded NdFeB magnets, but the demand has been very little."

If you continue to use bonded NdFeB magnets, each motor costs to increase from 30 to 40 yuan, the user and the market simply unacceptable, so the whole project stalled. "If this project in the country to promote the smooth, praseodymium neodymium alloy available annually about 1,200 tons, saving electricity would be a considerable number, so unfortunately died." Wu Zhijian said.

Chengdu Galaxy Magnets encounter is not the case. 2011 rare earth prices skyrocketing, the pair bonded NdFeB a significant impact on the industry. That time, the downstream application markets serious recession, a lot of bonded NdFeB materials production enterprises were forced to cut, cut, a serious shortage of capacity utilization.

Since the reorganization of the Framework Agreement signed by the end of 2012, with 12 of Inner Mongolia Baotou Steel Rare-earth Enterprises upstream integration have not yet seen substantial progress, is still in a kind of "delegated management" of the state.

Reporters learned that led to this situation, the Ministry of Industry issued a rare earth smelting and separation products mandatory plan targets "adequate", there are generous investment enterprise integrating scientific research, I hope in the downstream portion of polishing powder material applied technological breakthrough, which profitable.

Currently still in the early stages

May 4, 2011, Inner Mongolia introduced the "rare earth upstream enterprise integration phase work program", the local 35 companies will be mergers and acquisitions, compensation off, out of shutting down. By the end of 2012, Baotou Steel Rare Earth with one of the 12 companies signed a framework agreement on restructuring, Baotou Steel Rare Earth, general manager Zhang told the "Daily Economic News" reporter, said the Baotou Rare Earth integration has not yet completed "first step", he used "stage Completions "to describe the progress of integration.

August 8, Zhang said in an interview with reporters, 12 "incorporated" into the Group's business has not been substantive consolidation, is still in the early stages of integration, because "Assessing do account" and so on.

Zhang told reporters that currently doing preliminary work including the assessment of the time required by the agreement on the principle. Pursuant to the Framework Agreement, the reorganization of the 12 companies and their shareholders must agree to the Baotou Rare Earth free transfer 51% stake in enterprises, consistent with the Baotou Rare Earth Development Plan and to achieve compliance with national environmental standards. Baotou Steel Rare Earth in talent, technology, capital, rare earth resources, mandatory production plan targets and export quotas to give 12 corporate support.

Been integrated enterprise restructuring plan

Multibyte insiders told reporters that the Baotou Rare Earth integration 12 companies real difficulty lies in the smelting and separation indicator is not enough.

One yuan close to being integrated enterprise, told reporters that, by integration, the 12 enterprises obtained only from the Baotou Rare Earth mandatory targets. Baotou Steel Rare Earth under which there are two separate companies, had only two indicators of enterprises now pay would give 12 companies, is a typical enough to go around.

Be integrated with a home business, for example, concentrates before 1000 tons monthly subsistence, and now can only get five million tons Baotou Rare Earth Concentrate targets. Above estimates, 14 separate business capacity equivalent to a minimum of approximately 80,000 tons oxide calculation, but only 35,000 tons Baotou Steel Rare Earth Separation smelting targets.

Currently 12 companies are not included in the staffing and financial Baotou Steel Rare Earth unified management, namely in the "food" in the case financing. "Only smelting separation part, this is more of a delegated administration." The person said.

Zhang claimed, "We will guide these companies, relative to the number of downstream industrial transfer, or in the centralized control of the upstream efficiency based."

One yuan of anonymity, informed sources told reporters that "centralized control to improve efficiency," then, is integrated part of the enterprise smelting and separation capacity is likely to be shut down, because according to the agreement, environmentally unqualified enterprises will not get mandatory targets, that can not get raw materials, and environmental standards are more stringent.

"Now there is no through environmentally friendly, want to come is not easy, it must comply with the Baotou Rare Earth planning." Zhang said.

Not long ago, Baotou Steel Rare Earth to convene a meeting of its 12 companies, said on December 31 this year, 12 companies can no longer tailings drainage. One yuan is integrated company official told reporters that last year did not profitable enterprise, mainly invested heavily in research and environmental protection, including research and development investments accounted for more than 30% of sales revenue is to be able to apply in the downstream polishing powder materials some technological breakthrough.

The official said, because the input is too large, the next two years is estimated will still not profitable. He will also make a separate link smelting enterprises because of "concentration of production" and was prepared to shut down, now this part of the business has been compressed to a proportion of the total business of 20%.
