The domestic rare earth market is currently in a state of gradual decline, with most product prices experiencing varying degrees of decline: praseodymium-neodymium oxide prices have decreased by approximately 5,000 yuan per ton, terbium oxide by about 20 yuan per kilogram, and erbium oxide by around 2,000 yuan per ton.

Recently, the Inner Mongolia Daily reported that China’s first rare earth disc motor intelligent demonstration line has been completed and put into operation at the Rare Earth New Material Technology Innovation Center. Its first mature product—a rare earth permanent magnet axial flux motor with a thickness of only 6 millimeters—has stunned the industry with its breakthrough performance indicators. The commissioning of this intelligent production line marks a critical step forward in China’s research, development, and industrialization of high-end rare earth permanent magnet motors, opening a new competitive arena on the global stage.

Recently, the General Office of the Sichuan Provincial Government issued the "Several Opinions on Deepening the New Round of Mineral Exploration Breakthrough Strategic Action to Promote High-Quality Development of the Mining Industry" (hereinafter referred to as the "Several Opinions"), which emphasizes strengthening basic geological surveys of the Panzhihua copper-iron-rare earth mines; vigorously developing advantageous industries such as vanadium-titanium, rare earth, and lithium batteries; building internationally influential vanadium-titanium and rare earth industrial clusters and domestically leading lithium battery industry clusters; and establishing a production statistics system for strategic mineral resources such as vanadium-titanium, rare earth, lithium, and phosphorus, which are advantageous to Sichuan Province.
