Two years ago, the rapid rise in the price of rare earth products, sparking a boom in the development of rare earth resources abroad, hundreds of rare earth projects have started. But for now, the global downturn in economic performance, rare earth prices continue to fall, corporate environmental and cost pressures continue to increase, resulting in full swing once encountered resistance abroad RE project development, showing signs of slowing down. This is a reporter last week to attend the Fifth China Baotou Rare Earth Industry Forum learned.
    
"The global economic growth is weak and rare earth prices fell sharply on the progress of construction projects abroad, the impact should not be underestimated, although the world's supply of rare earth diversified pattern being formed, but the process is slowing down." China Rare Earth Association Deputy Secretary-General Zhang Anwen told reporters.
    
He introduced a few years ago, by the rare-earth prices skyrocketing, the downstream surge in demand, tight supply and other multiple factors, the United States, Australia, Russia, India, Vietnam, Brazil and other countries have started before the resumption of rare earth ore has been discontinued, or start new project development of rare earth resources. Currently, foreign production of rare earth miners have three, including the United States, Mountain Pass mine, Weld mine in Australia, Russia's Kola Peninsula mines, these mines with an annual output of thousands of tons to 25,000 tons from range. In addition, Vietnam, India, Australia, Canada, Kazakhstan, South Africa and other countries are also building a number of rare earth resources development projects, but the progress of these projects may be slightly different schedule. The global economic downturn, cost and environmental pressures and large cases, these projects have not been put into operation of production, yet take time to put into operation.

Recently there is news that China rare earth neodymium companies ready to join forces against the United States prosecute Japan's Hitachi Metals NdFeB patent "unreasonable dominate" in order to obtain the right to life.
    
It is reported that if all goes well, the Chinese companies involved in the prosecution list will be finalized at the end of August, the related follow-up work will also be launched in September. In the rare earth export quotas because problems caused by the World Trade Organization (WTO) lawsuit "pending" on the occasion, which again from patent litigation is likely to lead to trade shocks.
    
Since Hitachi Metals NdFeB patent applications in the United States, so that only Chinese companies have patents authorized to export to the U.S. market. This reporter has learned that at present, China has more than 200 NdFeB production enterprises, but to obtain patents Hitachi Metals NdFeB enterprises only three rings, etc. 8, and Hitachi Metals has decided not to increase the authorized Chinese companies number.
    
If she lost the lawsuit, meaning Hitachi Metals patent continuation in the next ten years may be longer, except to obtain patents for eight domestic enterprises, other enterprises NdFeB products have become illegal exports, only in domestic sales.
    
Organization Chinese rare earth enterprises sue Japanese companies Hitachi Metals, the initiator of the patent monopoly, Shenyang in the north, Magnetic Technology Co., Ltd. Chairman Bao-Yu Sun to the International Business Daily reporters, related companies have held two special meetings, estimated there will be about 10 companies involved in litigation. "In September we will employ both domestic and foreign lawyers in charge of this case, we present the main companies in the domestic market, probably three or four million, if we can enter the international market, the market share is expected to rise to fifty-six billion, or more. "
    
Insiders believe that "winning is very difficult, depending on the extension of patent applications in Japan are in line with international practice. Northwest China Most companies rely mainly on low labor costs and other resources, product quality and quality are low, if you have been dependent on the international market, will always be controlled by others, after all, not a long-term trail. "
    
The source pointed out that "if the lawsuit fails, most of the domestic enterprises will exit the international market NdFeB, patented by the small businesses instead. NdFeB domestic market, which will lead to re-shuffle, re-distribution pattern. Who span the end, who will win the domestic cost of production companies tend to break the impasse, it is difficult to overcome the difficulties of manufacturing patent. "
    
Investment Advisor in the metallurgical industry researcher Weiqi Ning believes that the major rare earth enterprises jointly sued Hitachi Metals practices worthy of recognition, but for now, remains to be seen whether in favor of the U.S. laws and regulations will determine the ultimate outcome.
    
Order Bao-Yu Sun felt a glimmer of hope that, after, Hitachi Metals in the United States launched the "337" survey, involving regular sea Magnets (300,224, stock it) and other three Chinese companies, and ultimately, this three companies reached a settlement with Hitachi Metals and obtained after NdFeB those patents. "We have about 10 companies, is still very hopeful of winning the lawsuit in Japan last one core technology patents expire in 2014, some of the remaining patent is about production methods, the basic core of a patent is not strong . "he said.

Rare is called "industrial vitamins" in the petroleum, chemical, metallurgy and other fields have a wide range of applications. China's rare earth storage capacity has been the first in the world, but also has been responsible for the global supply of rare earth. However in recent years, China's rare earth storage capacity declining abroad has also been engaged in the mining, production of rare earth production chain, China's rare earth industry thriving situation will be broken. Coupled with the existence of their own domestic industry "black chain" and many other issues, making China's rare earth industry is facing serious challenges, many rare earth companies stock prices continued to fall. However, in the August 7, issued by the Ministry of Governance rare earth industry special action plan, but also to revive confidence in the market, each rare earth stocks have soared.

Champoux consulting industry analysts believe that the rare earth industry challenged by the domestic political and economic factors lead, but the Government may take reasonable measures integration of the domestic rare earth industry in order to improve the industry's international competitiveness.

Since the government introduced a series of policies to protect rare earth resources rational development of rare earth resources once farewell "cabbage price" historical prices rose sharply, as many people profiteering ways. However, since 2010, rare earth prices began to decline. On the one hand because of falling demand, the financial crisis, whether domestic or abroad, the phenomenon of poor recovery, consumer fatigue, weak demand, demand for rare earths is decreased, on the other hand there are a number of foreign countries have been engaged in the development of rare earth production projects under construction or proposed, breaking the Chinese rare earth supply situation in the world, diverting a part of China, market share, resulting in a serious decline in corporate profits, allegedly over half net profit fell Baotou Steel Rare Earth, which had to take measures to stop the Poly. In addition, the domestic rare earth industry itself there are also major issues, namely, "black industry chain" rampant. 2011, rare earth prices rise once, attracted a large number of "black" enterprises, privately mining and tax evasion, profiteering, causing confusion in the market, industry-wide downturn in profits.

And the Ministry of the special action plan said that from August 15 onwards, the joint Ministry of Public Security, Ministry of Land Resources, Ministry of Environment Protection and other eight ministries, to carry out a three-month fight against rare earth mining, production and circulation of illegal irregularities special events. Minister of Industry and the following day, "the Fifth China Industry Forum", once again shows the country's determination to combat illegal exploitation and to promote industry mergers and acquisitions. To focus on hitting and integration of the special action, no doubt the market has injected confidence in the collective rare earth stocks soaring.

In the "2013-2017 China rare earth market research report" is mentioned, Chinese rare earth development still faces challenges, reasonable and effective measures to promote the country can promote its further development. However, the challenges facing the rare earth industry, not the State's determination to stand can be resolved, but also requires a sound institutional framework and standardize market order.

In the 8th opening of the Fifth "China Baotou Rare Earth Industry Forum", the participants in the industry generally believe that the earth diversified supply pattern is taking shape, Chinese independent support global demand for rare earths era will soon be over.

The world's largest single producer of rare earth enterprises - tech Co., Ltd. Baotou Steel Rare Earth Group General Manager Zhang said, a number of foreign countries have engaged in the production of rare earth projects in construction, the proposed project is also a lot the next few years, the global rare earth supply pattern will change significantly.

"This is China's rare earth industry will cause a certain shock", the Ministry of CCID Research Institute Yuan Kaihong said raw material industries, since 2010, the U.S. molybdenum mining company, Australia's Lynas rare earth companies in the implementation of development projects, some projects have been began to market supply products. It also includes hundreds of projects in the exploration and development of rare earths.

Chinese Society of Rare Earths Deputy Secretary-General Zhang Anwen said that last year, the world consumes just over 100,000 tons of rare earth products, the current foreign production and the construction of projects in hundreds of tons of annual production capacity to more than 20,000 tons range, is close to the total size 70,000 tons. Next few years, will form a larger foreign production capacity of rare earth, rare earth promotion of alternative technologies will also reduce the world's dependence on Chinese rare earth market.

"These projects have been put into operation, will increase competition in the international market for rare earths, Chinese enterprises will face challenges." Zhang Anwen said with concern. But he also believes that the international diversification of rare earth supply, there will be conducive to China's rare earth mine life extension, is conducive to the sustainable use of rare earth resources.

"China's international competitiveness light rare earth is weakening." China Rare Earth Industry Association Secretary-General Ma Rongzhang light rare earths in China is not without concern for the future: As the rare earth production projects abroad to produce light rare earth-based, with the expansion of production scale, China light rare earth producers will face a lot of pressure.

However, the Chinese part of the person in charge of a large rare earth enterprises are still optimistic. "The future of light rare earth supply is likely to return to China, China's rare earth still maintain a fairly long-term competitiveness and market discourse." Zhang said.

Although there are hundreds of rare earths project is the investigation, but has been put into production abroad and the construction of major projects, rare earth ore reserves and distribution of advantage is not obvious, for example, the United States Mountain Pass rare earth mine in Baotou Bayan Obo mine only total a few tenth, and both the partition fairly.

Zhang said that foreign project if all built up production, China rare earth products in the global market share may fall from 90 percent to about 50 percent, but the decline in the share of mainly concentrated in the light rare earth, the heavy rare earth China will account absolute dominance.

In addition, increased competition will drive down light rare earth market, given the current overall world light rare earth products in oversupply situation, Chinese enterprises LREE advantage of low production costs, will be able to protect the Chinese suppliers in the market will remain a superior position . China will remain long in the international market for rare earths remain very competitive and the right to speak, can not be other rare earth producers on par with China.

In recent years, significant fluctuations in the price of rare earth products a serious impact on the rare earth market, a blow to the confidence of downstream users, the rare earth industry had a negative impact. "China Rare Earth now is a temporary decline, but if calmly analyze the current situation is not due to a large number of projects put into production abroad caused due Driven by interests, leading to the development of confusion within the industry, the industry needs to purify the environment, integration of resources, can play Chinese Rare Earth industry in the world's influence and competitiveness. "Zhang said.

Comprehensive upgrade of rare earth smuggling

August 7, the Ministry of Public Security, the Department of Homeland eight departments jointly issued a document, the decision from 2013 August 15 to November 15 in the fight against rare earth mining, production, circulation of illegal special action. According to program implementation: the special action will be divided into self-examination (August 15 to September 30), joint investigation (September 30 to October 25), the rectification (October 25 to November 15), three stages; by focusing on combating illegal rare earth mining, production, circulation and removal of waste products of rare earth recovery and utilization of corporate governance and other means to earth "chain of black interests" and were "a number of opinions" requirements, check the levels of government to implement RE management responsibilities, perform mandatory production plan, mining quota of total control, environmental verification, production safety, VAT invoices and other rules and regulations implemented. We believe that this special action is pre-Ganyue joint action against smuggling of rare earth comprehensive upgrade.

Policy Ruqierzhi

Although this action against smuggling of rare earth comprehensive upgrade fully line with our expectation, but we still believe that the special action file highlights: the first sentence of the text, "In order to implement the spirit of the recent instructions of the State Council leaders" to indicate that the new government attaches great importance to the leadership still the healthy development of rare earth industry, so although the action file on a "letter" on behalf of "text" in the form of externally imposed, but the local government still has sufficient binding; same time, "letter" in line with the current government in the form of pragmatic governing style. In addition, the Ministry is the special action of the major executive departments, and the current Minister Guo Shengkun for many years engaged in non-ferrous industry experience, we believe that this special enforcement actions and effects are worth the wait.
