On January 17, the Ministry of Land and Resources issued the No. 1 Document of 2011, which was called “Strengthening the Protection and Reasonable Development of China’s Rare Earth Resources†and decided to establish the first batch of rare earth national planning mining areas in Ganzhou City, Jiangxi Province, where ionic rare earth resources are concentrated in China. .
On January 18, an operator of Wuzhou rare earth industry, who declined to be named, told this reporter that becoming a rare earth national planning mining area is a necessary condition for the renewal of rare earth mineral-related mining documents. “(Chenzhou) documents have been extended for two years. After becoming a planning mine, you can re-certify."
Rare earths are collectively referred to as 17 elements. Rare earths are referred to as "vitamins" of industrial products. By adding a small amount of rare earth products, they can change or substantially improve the performance of related products, and are key raw materials for manufacturing high-tech products and military products.
China's rare earth reserves and production have long been the world's largest, while Chenzhou is known as the “Rare Earth Capital†and owns most of the domestic ionic heavy and rare earth resources. According to the announcement issued by the Ministry of Land and Resources, the first batch of 11 rare earth national planning mining areas In Ganzhou City, the total planned mining area is 2534 square kilometers, and the planning area involves 7 major rare earth production counties in Longzhou, Xunwu, Dingnan, Jixian, Anyuan, Xinfeng, Quannan, etc.
According to the above-mentioned Ganzhou rare earth source, the 11 rare earth national planning mining areas in Zhangzhou were successively reported from August to October in 2010. “The Ministry of Land and Resources had issued documents requiring the local planning of the mining area.â€
It is understood that the most important thing for the development of rare earth minerals is to obtain mining licenses granted by the Ministry of Land and Resources. The establishment of a rare earth national planned mining area is a necessary procedure for the renewal of mining licenses. After the establishment of the mining area, the original 88 rare earth mining certificates owned by Zhangzhou will be merged. While decreasing, but the overall mining area will expand." The above-mentioned Ganzhou rare earth management sources revealed that the reason why Ganzhou became the first batch of rare earth national planning area is that, in addition to the rare earth mineral mining documents that need to be updated, its relatively standardized governance is another reason.
According to public information, in the late 20th century and early 21st century, Ganzhou began to integrate local rare earth mineral resources. Besides Baotou, China is another area that has successfully integrated rare earth resources. The rare earth mineral resources in Quzhou City are now managed by the government-owned Yanzhou Rare Earth Minerals Co., Ltd., and Zhuozhou Rare Earth Minerals Co., Ltd. entrusts it with mining and processing to control the scale and flow of local rare earths.
The above-mentioned Ganzhou rare earth management person claimed that due to its better integration, after the Ministry of Land and Resources issued the requirements for the establishment of a rare earth national planning mining area, Ganzhou could easily formulate plans and meet relevant requirements. In addition, “the establishment of a mining area can better integrate rare earth resources and regulate the management of rare earth mineralsâ€.
Recently, Wang Caifeng, deputy inspector of the Rare Earths Office of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, who participated in the first batch of expert review meetings for the rare earth national planning mining area, also told the media that setting up a rare earth national planning mining area is a measure for the planned management of rare earth resources.
In the past two years, China's rare earth has become one of the focus of attention at home and abroad. Although China is the largest producer of rare earth products, it does not have the same pricing power as the major iron ore suppliers abroad. The rare earth industry has low profits and is heavily polluted.
To this end, the Chinese government has strengthened the management of the rare earth industry, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has successively issued the "Rare Earth Industry Development Plan 2009-2015" and the "Rare Earth Industrial Industry Development Policy", and rare earths have also been included in the national "Twelfth Five Year Plan."
Previously, informed sources told this reporter that due to reasons such as environmental protection and conservation of resources, since the end of the last century, China began to supervise rare earths, but due to the limited effect of source production control, it later turned to supervision of exports in an attempt to reduce exports. Regulates the production of domestic rare earths and prompts foreign countries to transfer relevant technologies to China and promote the improvement of China's rare earth production technology.
However, the strict export control of rare earths caused dissatisfaction in the international community. In early October 2010, as the largest purchaser of rare earths in Japan, its foreign minister Maehara Seiji believed that the Chinese government's intervention in the export of rare earths may violate the relevant WTO principles. At the same time, the U.S. Trade Representative Office also conducted a fair trade investigation of China's rare earth exports under Article 301 of the U.S. Trade Act.
At the end of December 2010, the Ministry of Commerce of the People's Republic of China announced the export quota for the first half of 2011, which was down by more than 11% year-on-year, which caused the US Trade Representative's Office (USTR) to worry. A Sony spokesman, Ayano Iguchi, also stated that he opposes export control of rare earths after the Ministry of Commerce announced an export quota.
Subsequently, the Ministry of Commerce explained that the export quota for 2011 has not yet been determined and it is not appropriate to estimate the total amount for the whole year based on the quantity of the first batch of export quotas issued this time.
The aforementioned Minzhou rare earth source said that although strict export controls are effective over a short period of time, they are not in line with the free spirit of the international market. Therefore, it is an inevitable choice for China to control the rare earth industry from strengthening its internal management. The establishment of a rare earth national planning mine is an internal governance. One measure.
