Ndfeb Magnet reprinted Xinhuanet Beijing on December 28 report (reporter WangXi) China chamber of commerce of metals and chemicals XuXu 28th President, said in China since 2001, rare earth products export basic stability, at the same time, domestic consumption demand growth this year, rare earth ore import for the first time exceeded 100 million tons.

He firmly in the "held by the international conference on rare earth made the said.

XuXu said, according to China's customs statistics, since 2001, China's enterprises to export rare earth annual number of stable world in six tons, rare earth products are exported to more than 40 countries and regions in the world. Among them, 2009 by international financial crisis, rare earth domestic-demand market is sluggish, exports dwindled11 to 43918 tons, along with the global economy is going well, first 11 months in re 35075 tons, expected annual export slightly less than exports last year's level.

Meanwhile, China re export prices presented steadily rising trend. In 2001, China re export average price for 4559 dollars per ton, in the first 11 months of average per ton for 17957 dollars, more 2001 growth nearly three times.

"Although rare earth products price rise apparently, but from the same period crude oil, copper, iron ore and other large sums of product of the international price rise can see, rare earth prices does not have a particularity." XuXu said.

Meanwhile, this year 1 to October China imported 679 rare-earth ore 10381 tons, the first time exceeded 1 million tons, 144.09% year-on-year growth.

XuXu says, it indicated that in long-term and stable supply of rare earth exports, meanwhile, rare earth in domestic consumption growth surged, domestic rare earth enterprise began looking to abroad to make up for the domestic supply shortage.

XuXu said, rare earth and other minerals are non-renewable resources, the Chinese government has in recent years, including rare earth some important minerals of mining, the production, consumption and exports have been taken to strengthen management measures, and this helps to protect the environment and natural resources, accord with the wto rules, as an industry organization, very understand the Chinese government take measures and efforts.

He further expressed hope that rare earth enterprise in the stable output of rare earth, meanwhile, avoid excessive disorderly development, maintain the long-term nature of the rare earth supply, In overseas markets in re remain stable at the same time, and actively introduce advanced foreign technology, raise rare earth application of rare earth application in depth and width.

"China is the only way to rare earth industry application," China rare earth vice secretary general of the society ZhangAnWen says that, although at present the rare earth industry separation smelting technology progress, but lack of core of patent remains unresolved, high-end medical devices, key parts devices such as still rely on import.

Rare earth resources are not unique to China, XuXu said, beyond China, at present global mining rare-earth ore still can concentrated in the U.S., Russia, Australia, Brazil and India and other countries. Among them, the United States and Russia rare earth reserves respectively for 13 million tons and 1900 tons, accounting for global 13% and 19 percent, but the two countries' current production all zeros.

He represents China rare earth industry in BBS to also have rare earth resources the country called hope using China's more mature smelting separation technology, common development of rare resources outside China, cooperative production more rare earth products, supply the world market, rare earth industry for the global sustainable development to make due contribut
