U.S. Geological Survey and other agencies to a new study, Bokan Mountain, Alaska, a unique heavy rare earth minerals help scientists understand the formation of rare earth minerals. Rare is often used in many sophisticated electronic devices and defense technology, rare earth is very important, but relatively scarce. Currently, on the rare earth ore formation geological environment has been little understanding of these geological environment, and to understand the formation process is to determine the concentration of rare earth minerals can be mined level key step.

By the 17 kinds of rare earth elements, including scandium, yttrium and lanthanide rare earths is a member of 15, according to its atomic size, they are divided into light rare earths and heavy rare earths. Light rare earth ore usually dominate, so Bokan Mountain heavy rare earth minerals found worthy of attention. HREE in smart phones and tablet computers for use in the production of small advanced magnets, as well as continuing to improve the performance of the engine and transmission run at higher temperatures are of great value. Bokan Mountain heavy rare earth rare earth ore is concentrated and less efficiently produced one of mine.

In order to determine these mines at Bokan Mountain is how it formed, the researchers used geochemical and isotopic analysis carried out on the granite analysis, after which the results were compared with other granite. Study found that, Bokan Mountain granite and in the "rift" granite formed under similar circumstances in the Rift Valley crust split, overflow from the underground magma, then cooled magma, forming a unique type of granite.

Geologists charted at Bokan Mountain granite and granite intrusive rock structure that accompanied the crack granite magma and active structure to be placed. The researchers said the study helps to more efficiently develop rare earth mine, through a greater understanding of how the formation of rare earth minerals, scientists and mining companies can more accurately determine the concentration of minerals containing up mineable rock.

Recent rare earth oxides and rare earth company stock prices rise together, as of July 16, praseodymium oxide price of 395,000 - 405,000, compared with the previous day rose 5,000 yuan, metal praseodymium price 430,000 - 440,000, compared with the day before rose 5,000 yuan; addition, since since June 28, Sheng and resources Minmetals Rare Earth rises up to 62.61%, respectively, 51.76%. However, in the case of imbalance between supply and demand fundamentals, this rally has become a bit "strange", study the fundamental reorganization seems to lie in Ganzhou Rare Earth private traders arising ore stockpile purpose of this paper is to explore the logic behind the rise.

Investment Advisor in the industry and Policy Research Center Director Hu Zhi Liang said that may have an impact on the round up of the main factors in the following aspects: First, the Baotou Rare Earth plant shutdown, although this will not affect the Baotou Rare Earth itself rare earth smelting , but will cause the market to reduce the supply of rare earth minerals; Second, the recent Ministry of Environmental Protection to increase environmental remediation efforts, although for the steel, cement and other two high-industries, but will undoubtedly reveal convey to the outside world government structural adjustment, governance pollution determination, the same as the chemical pollution of the rare earth industry inevitably will face environmental remediation risks; Third Ganzhou combat rare private mine, but reportedly Ganzhou is the MIIT against private mine the first leg of follow-up will continue in other provinces City of conduct; Fourth round down cycle has been far more than in the past, the market has increased demand;

To hammer out the basic support, this study adopted exclusion.

First look at the first factor, according to the announcement of Baotou Steel Rare Earth, one reason for the plant shutdown to comply with national totals control plan, and second, in order to control the pollution of the tailings dam, the other from the Baotou Rare Earth published financial data can be seen, since 2011, the amount of inventories Baotou Steel Rare Earth has been in a rising state in the first quarter reached 8.3 billion yuan more as much as seen in the overall market downturn and the significant improvement in the case of Baotou Steel Rare Earth reason With the pollution and digest some inventory. Of course, the plant shutdown will inevitably affect the supply of rare earth oxides, causing a certain degree of market volatility.

Let's look at the second factor, the Baotou Rare Earth concentrator One reason is to cut pollution, and Ganzhou Rare Earth private mining against a certain extent, this also implies the meaning, but the current state of the rare earth industry, the overall ideas of governance is still is integrated to enhance the right to speak, and compared to the iron and steel, cement and other big polluters, the rare earth industry pollution to light many, at least for now the signs are so exposed. Therefore, in overall funding, energy limited circumstances, on the rare earth industry to carry out environmental remediation big move less likely.

Let's look at the third factor, Ganzhou Rare Earth Rare Earth is not the first time against private mines, and the country is also not the first time against private mine, but every combat effectiveness of private mines are not significant. The reason is that the private mine is more like a combat sport specific, difficult to sustain, and lower private investment in mining, mostly in the deep forests of them, even the unprecedented crackdown and took a landfill pit spot Feng Ting equipment and various other practices, however, if the lack of an effective mechanism for the resurgence of private mines may still exist.

Furthermore, even if the Baotou Rare Earth plant shutdown, or even all the rare earth mine were completely destroyed private to current inventory levels Baotou Steel Rare Earth, the overall rare earth production, fully meet the needs of the downstream market downturn. By process of elimination, we can conclude that caused skyrocketing rare earth round the root cause lies in the aforementioned fourth factor, that is, the market itself has increased demand, and we have demonstrated the aforementioned upper and lower ends are not fundamental, therefore, the fourth factor mainly reflected in the end, that is, smelting links, trade links.

If you only consider the supply and demand ends, the two are matched, but in the middle of smelting, trade distorting aspects of the entire market supply and demand. First, from the smelting sectors, despite a certain state regulations smelting separation indicators, but the integration process in order to get more big right to speak, has the resources to enter midstream smelting enterprises to accelerate the separation of the field, no resources, accelerate the expansion of smelting enterprises separation capacity, resulting in separation of smelting capacity far beyond the rare earth mining index. Therefore, part of the non-resource smelting enterprises in order to ensure adequate separation of the market, they are bound to turn to private mine fields. This is against private Ganzhou Rare Earth Mining in the entire supply base to produce such a large impact.

From the point of view of traders, far more than the previous down cycle, has let them overly sensitive to market an urgent need to ease up their frayed nerves, it can be said is they round stockpile extrinsic nerves reaction.

Thus, together, round up like firewood met Agni, with three east, and finally evolved from a spark to start a prairie fire, but in the case of a solid foundation, the fire will eventually prompt was extinguished.

Foreign media said the view of the worldwide increasing demand for rare earth elements, rare elements used to synthesize a large number of high-tech applications also significantly increased the necessity of mining is likely to become a race to the next space.

Japan, "Foreign scholars' magazine website July 16 Journal article said rare earth elements are widely used in sophisticated electronic equipment, nuclear technology, laser, superconductivity, and green energy technologies. As the world's largest rare earth producer, China in 2009 to limit its exports of rare earths, saying to do so in order to protect the environment.

The article said, in response to Beijing's initiative, Japan, the U.S. and South Korea as well as consumer countries such as rare earth producer of electronic products increased in the rare earth mineral exploration efforts in order to ensure their supply needs.

In 2011, Japan's exclusive economic zone on its Pacific ocean floor successful discovery of rare earth deposits. In addition to mineral exploration, the Japanese company Sumitomo SOEs Kazakhstan Kazakhstan State Atomic Energy Corporation jointly set up a joint venture company - peak atomic Rare Earth - purpose is a huge number of uranium from Kazakhstan slag extraction of rare earth elements. 2012, is headquartered in the United States re-molybdenum mining company had closed rare earth mine in California for many years, in order to meet domestic demand for civil and military fields. South Korea on the issue of rare earth exploration agreement with Kyrgyzstan.

The article points out, India, Canada, Tanzania, Australia, Brazil and Vietnam, and other countries have started their own territory in the exploration and exploitation of rare earth resources. Among them, Australia has the world's largest outside China rare earth mine.

The article said that in view of the earth's competition is so fierce, the Moon and other near-Earth asteroids rich in rare earth mineral mining work is waiting for the infrastructure and means of transport development. If there were such a company, then the space station will be the company's core components. The moon and near-Earth asteroid mining is likely to become a reality in 2050.

After nearly 30 years of failure, the 2013 finally have more space station while in orbit around the Earth at low altitude. These include the International Space Station ISS and "One Temple" space station. There are six on the International Space Station astronauts, and another three Chinese astronauts in the implementation of the 10th Shenzhou mission had arrived "One Temple" space station.

Articles that more international cooperation and the potential use of space resources in the study area competition will determine the future of humans in space. China will be the beginning of the 2020s, low-altitude orbit around the Earth in the construction of a new space station, the United States and Russia also intends to service the International Space Station in the existing building after the expiry of their own space station.

Although, the United States and Russia's space program is not very clear, but they have a particular strategy. Space powers currently developing multi-level super-heavy delivery systems, as well as two orbit or SSTO system. Super-heavy delivery systems will be able to greatly enhance the rocket carrying capacity. China's Long March rocket on the 9th, the U.S. space delivery systems as well as the Russian Angara rocket is capable of carrying nearly 100 tons of cargo to low-Earth orbit of super-heavy delivery systems - the weight of sufficient transport infrastructure in a launch in the international a quarter of the space station components.

The article points out, two or single stage to orbit reusable launch vehicle system can achieve manned space exploration, and Earth and rapid transport of goods between the two-way. Delivery systems and the development of the space station for space mining and other industrial purposes of an infrastructure part. The space station will be used as warehouses, production units, shelter and lounges, as the moon and near-Earth asteroid mines and factories to provide services.

The first space will be those minerals mined rare earth in space can be easily extracted, even if supply increases can also be lucrative, as well as those smaller mineral mass and volume. Moon and asteroids on the rare earth minerals are likely to meet these basic requirements.

Mineral resources for future space station will play a central role in transportation, they will also become a special material processing center. These special materials on Earth materials have significantly different physical and chemical properties, can be used in biochemistry, electronics, energy and other fields.

The article points out, to strengthen the extraterrestrial resource dependency will reduce dependence on the earth's resources. Future, the Earth's resources can be defined as strategic resource to be protected. Extraterrestrial resources for the development of revolutionary technology and pave the way for the start-space industry. Space industry will have many of the participants, then, the space will have a new world order.

From raw material prices, the first half average price of neodymium oxide, praseodymium 301,000 / ton, down 29%, a decline of 12% dysprosium oxide 1847.4 yuan / kg, down 63 percent, a decline of 45%. Press N50 prices, the average price of 221.8 yuan in the first half Magnets / kg, down 29 percent, a decline of 14%. Based on projections, we estimate unpublished results notice other results are as follows: Baotou Steel Rare Earth, net profit fell more than 80%; Rising colored, half loss; Ningbo Yunsheng, net profit fell 50%.

Rare earth prices stabilize reason. In mid-June after a slight rebound in rare earth prices stabilize and, peers generally considered rare earth prices bottoming out of the industry pose a greater good, and the secondary market has recently experienced a wave bigger bounce. We recognize the conclusions of rare earth prices bottomed out, however, whether the industry constitutes a positive, we need to find the cause of rare earth prices rebound. Processing enterprises from the first half performance magnetics situation speculated that in the first half sales fell Magnets 10% -30%, up 20% -40%, overall still in the doldrums, can not support the upstream supply of rare earth market remains current for more than demand situation. Contrast upstream company profits, we can see that the first half of 2012 Rising colored Baotou Steel Rare Earth and sales gross profit margin was 48.75% and 14.76%, sales margin was 29.26% and 1.63%, while the first half of 2013 light rare average price fell 29 percent, the heavy rare earth price fell 63%, rare earth smelting enterprises in the profit or loss for the state, which we can conclude: Rare earth prices bottoming out from the cost of support.

As rare earth smelting enterprises already in the low-profit status, rare earth prices will support the acquisition costs, it is difficult to continue to decline, but the state of oversupply in the rare earth, rare earth prices rebound height is limited. Next longer period of time, rare earth smelting enterprises will go to production capacity in the state, is difficult to improve performance. Magnets same excess capacity, rare earth prices continue to decline no longer the case, we believe that high-margin hard magnetics processing enterprises long, strong bargaining power will gradually degenerate.
