According to media reports, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill that seeks to accelerate the exploitation of mineral resources in the country's strategy to reduce dependence on imported rare earths.

Republican majority in the House of Representatives on September 18 on the "2013 National Strategic and Critical Minerals Production Act," the motion debate at the General Assembly.

Motion that the United States currently has 19 kinds of non-fuel minerals entirely dependent on foreign imports, the demand for more than 50% dependent on imports of non-fuel minerals up to 24 species, including a variety of rare earth elements. Meanwhile, in 25 major mineral countries, the U.S. authorities for approval mine exploitation license for the longest time.

According to the motion, in the mining companies to submit applications for mineral resources exploitation strategy, the United States all relevant approval authorities must make written comments within 30 months, unless the parties reach an agreement postponed approval deadline.

Obama administration officials have expressed opposition to the motion. If the House of Representatives passed House and Senate versions ultimately, people expected it will be Obama's veto.

Australian rare earths company Lynas CEO Eric Noyrez Thursday (the 12th) said that based on the primary end-market forecasts of future demand, is expected by 2020, the global rare earth markets will grow 5% -6% growth rate, while some elements the growth rate will be faster.

Eric Noyre on Thursday (12 May) at the 2013 annual meeting of the International Rare made ​​the above remarks.

"But if there is no long-term stability of prices and supply, so that would not play such rare earth market potential." Eric Noyre said.

According to Eric Noyre said, Lynas Malaysia, LAMP Project Phase II project will be three quarters of production, production capacity, and a two, like, the same as 11,000 tons / year.

Recently, the Ministry of Environmental Protection released benevolence Pingyuan County, Guangdong Province ranks rare earth mine expansion project 1000 tons of rare earth products EIA report, the EIA shows that the mining project may leak fluid surrounding residents influential source of drinking water, the construction unit to be right long-term dynamics of groundwater observation.

According to the report, through the ore block situ stope leaching groundwater impact projections show that the leaching liquor leakage situ leaching mining site on the surrounding groundwater environment some impact, impact areas are mainly concentrated in the mining ore and its downstream valley Strip.

The mine surrounding residents are exposed through the fountain, located around the way water collection pool, from in-situ stope leaching simulation and prediction results can be seen in-situ leaching stope residents of groundwater flow direction downstream drinking water sources may ore mined by the impact. However, the construction unit commitment "source of drinking water for residents of long-term dynamic observation, and developed a water supply scheme."

To this end, the EIA report requires the construction units to establish groundwater pollution prevention measures: in-situ leaching stope taking seal, set cutoff dam, cutoff trench and other measures, and in the process liquor treatment plant pools are taking double seepage; stope and liquor treatment plant construction cut drains, liquor treatment plant of the cell body 0.3 meters above the ground to prevent rainfall affect them. Once the source of drinking water for the surrounding villagers affected, the construction unit is responsible for the water supply for the villagers to ensure their domestic water needs.

Russia will invest $ 1 billion rare earth production, aimed at reducing dependence on China. At present China controls 90% of global rare earth supply of the market. United States, Japan and the European Union had accused China of manipulating its rare earth industry, the WTO, claiming that Chinese attempts to restrict supply to push up prices at the same time it has won a competitive advantage.

Rostec and IST is Russia's industrial and defense industry giant Alexander Nesis's investment company, has agreed to invest rare earth production in 2018, $ 1,000,000,000. Rostec goal is to have 2017 to achieve self-sufficiency rare.

An insiders, the Russian president and the government set up the task of expanding the rare earth production, because the Russian inventory is almost depleted. The source said that as the major producers a substantial increase in China rare earth prices, the need to rebuild inventories.

Rostec and IST venture company TriArkMining has received 82,653 tonnes of monazite concentrate acquired rights, the ore is stored in the Russian Urals Sverdlovsk state Uralmonatsit warehouse.

From the beginning of 2015, the next 7-8 years the joint venture from warehouse storage monazite concentrate extract 40,000 tonnes of rare earth. These inventories are rich in heavy rare earth elements such as dysprosium and terbium, these elements on the automotive, defense and clean energy industry must be high-energy magnetic material is essential. Heavy rare earth elements cerium and other light rare earth elements than scarce, making it more valuable.

Rostec said that Russia's annual consumption of about 1,500 metric tons of rare earth, is expected to reach 6,000 tonnes in 2020.

Rostec has eight broad defense materials production company, depending on the rare earth elements as a strategic raw material.

Chinese rare earth production ceiling set in 2013 93,800 tonnes, aimed at controlling the illegal exploitation of the industry.

Russia's rare earth production accounts for only 2% of world production, if there is no new projects coming years, Russia's share of production will drop to 1.5%.

ICT will be the joint venture's managing partner in industrial engineering, mineral processing and hydrometallurgical plant building experience will be of great benefit.
