Lynas Corp., the world's largest supplier of rare earths after China Pol Le Roux, vice president of rare earths, said that if Western rare earth companies want to continue to compete with Chinese companies in the industrial chain, they should pay attention to China's long-term strategy.

SMM6, June 6 / PRNewswire-Asianet /-Lynas Corp., the world's largest supplier of rare earths after China, is the world's largest supplier of rare earths, Bloomberg reported. Pol Le Roux, vice president of rare earths, said that if Western rare earth companies want to continue to compete with Chinese companies in the industrial chain, they should pay attention to China's long-term strategy.

Le Roux says it will be difficult for western rare earth companies to compete with Chinese companies if they fail to take a long-term view, set long-term goals and focus only on quarterly results.

The move comes after US mining companies reduced their market share after a collapse in rare earth prices in 2011, while increasing US dependence on Chinese rare earths.

Jon Blumenthal, chief executive of Blue Line, a US rare earth company, said China pushed up prices of rare earths to an all-time high after announcing the first export quotas in 2011, prompting US companies to consider investing in factories. Increase the supply of rare earths in the United States. However, after China lifted restrictions on rare earth exports, the price of rare earths in the United States plummeted, causing miners to continue to wander.

【SMM Rare Earth Flash】 AuKing Mining reported further high-grade rare earth mineralization from latest assays at the Nathace Hill deposit within its Tundulu rare earth project in southern Malawi. Drilling on the western side intersected 59 m at 1.51% TREO from 13 m depth, including 5 m at 2.96% TREO. The northeastern side returned 47 m at 1.5% TREO from 26 m depth, including 6 m at 3.03% TREO, plus 9 m at 1.53% TREO from 128 m depth. Southeastern step-out drilling intersected 36 m at 1.5% TREO from 85 m depth, including 6 m at 3.14% TREO. The results further confirm multi-directional mineralization potential of the carbonatite complex.

【SMM Rare Earth Flash】 Vietnam's Ministry of Industry and Trade has completed a draft Prime Minister's decision on the list of domestic strategic and important minerals permitted for export and their processing levels, submitted to the Ministry of Justice on October 8 for review but not yet in effect. The draft selects 17 minerals from the 19 strategic minerals list, setting domestic deep-processing thresholds. Raw ore exports are prohibited, with tungsten, tin, lithium, and rare earths included. Rare earths are subject to a special management mechanism, requiring export in specified forms such as single rare earth oxides, rare earth metals, alloys, alloy powders, or permanent magnets. The draft adds no new administrative procedures and sets no transition period, using customs declaration timing as the policy conversion criterion, aiming to push domestic minerals toward deeper processing.

[SMM Recycled Rare Earth Weekly Review: Scrap Prices Consolidate at Highs; Recycling Purchases Remain Cautious at Elevated Levels] Overall, this week, scrap Pr-Nd prices stabilized first and then rose, stabilizing at highs from mid-week onward. Recycling enterprises followed market trends and remained cautious about chasing higher prices. Suppliers' willingness to sell shifted from wait-and-see to recovering, and market trading gradually improved. In the short term, scrap Pr-Nd prices are expected to continue consolidating at highs, with future trends still dependent on Pr-Nd oxide price movements and recycling enterprises' procurement pace.
