China Rare Earth Consolidation Route Map

The China Times reported that the MIIT is now making plans for pushing the rare earth consolidation. But no details and precise timing of the plan was released.

Nevertheless, Guangdong Rare Earth Industry Group and Chalco may play the most important part in the rare earth consolidation. Inner Mongolia Baotou Steel Rare-Earth (Group) Hi-Tech Company is now developing into Gansu, Shandong and Sichuan after integrating resources in Inner Mongolia.

A person from the MIIT familiar with the issue reported the leadership is in favor of building local rare earth groups, which pushed the formation of regional rare earth economies.

Distribution Features of China Rare Earth

Distribution Imbalance
Light rare earth ore mainly distributes in north China regions such as Baotou, Inner Mongolia and Liangshan, Sichuan, while ion-absorbing type medium and heavy rare earth ore mainly distributes in Ganzhou, Jiangxi and Long'an, Fujian.

Various Categories
Rare earth ore categories include bastnaesite, monazite, ion-absorbing ore, xenotime and fergusonite, with ion-absorbing type medium and heavy rare earth ore very important.

Light Rare Earth Ore-Associated Radioactive Element Effects Environment Significantly
Light rare earth ore can be explored in large amounts, but the treatment of radioactive element such as thorium is very difficult, which will significantly affect people's health and environment.

Ion-absorbing Type Medium and Heavy Rare Earth Ore Hard to Explore
Ion-absorbing type medium and heavy rare earth ore is adsorbed in the earth in the form of ion, and is dispersed and difficult to exploit.
