Strives to reduce dependence on China Rare Earth Day or cooperation with Russia

Japan from the United Nations International Seabed Authority to obtain a high seas in the Pacific seabed mining of rare earth exploration rights agency, in the next 15 years, located in Tokyo about 2000 kilometers southeast of the South Bird Island neighborhood, an area of ​​3,000 square kilometers of exploration and exploitation of seabed area .

Exploration Team Leader, Tokyo University professor Yasuhiro Kato (Yasuhiro Kato) pointed out that, according to the preliminary findings, the mine's metal reserves even higher than imagined. However, when there is no clear Japanese mining of rare earth metals can potentially become a reality.

Over the past few years, Japan has invested in mining and production of precious metals in Kazakhstan and Kazakhstan 斯捷普诺戈尔 Minsk City built rare earth joint venture production plant. In addition, in order to find alternative raw materials of rare earth metals, Japan is considering including cell phones and computers, including the use of waste electronic products as a renewable raw material.

Japan is doing everything possible to reduce the rare earth production areas in monopolistic China's dependence. One-third of the world's rare earth reserves China currently supplies 90% of global market. Rare earth metals main importing countries are Japan, the U.S. and the EU. For this reason, in 2009 China significantly reduce the production and export of rare earth, causing prices to rise and the main importing countries of discontent. Intensification of territorial disputes with China in the context of Japan was particularly passive.

At the same time, the Russian state-owned enterprises and private enterprises PocTex ICT Group announced plans to mine rare earth deposits in Yakutia Republic, the Republic of Yakutia Thom Thor prepared to invest billions of dollars mine. The mine is considered to be the world's largest deposits of rare earths, proven reserves of 1.54 billion tons of ore containing yttrium, niobium oxide, scandium, terbium, and other rare earth elements.

ICT Group Vlad Vail efavirenz spokesman said: "It is not only Japan but the whole world is concerned to ensure that their supply of rare earth metals. We do not have any in Yakutia cooperation program, but as a consumer market, Japan All manufacturers interested in us to make the decision to mine rare earth metals look to the future not only hopes to export, but also take into account the Russian industry will increase the demand for rare earth metals. mineral properties may help to improve the competitiveness of its . "

According to experts estimates, including Chinese experts, China's reserves of rare earth materials are not inexhaustible. And those who have their own resources in order to preserve and protect the ecological environment of rare earth mining freeze countries are re-examine their policies. 5-7 years later, if all goes well, Russia will be able to exactly rare earth production to meet market demand.
