SMM11, November 8 (Xinhua) on November 8, the website of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued a circular of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the Ministry of Natural Resources on issuing the total control index of rare earth mining, smelting separation and tungsten mining in 2019.

The indexes of ionic rare earths (mainly medium weight) in the six groups are all the same.

The light rare earth ore index increased by 12000 tons, including 8000 tons in the south, 2500 tons in China and 1500 tons in the north.

Rare earths in China, rare earth minerals in southern China (light), smelting separation index increased greatly (ore: 42%, 81%, separation: 25.8%, 100.6%), northern rare earth increased slightly (ore 4%, separation 5%). Minmetals rare earth, Xiamen tungsten industry and Guangdong rare earth are the same as in the first half of the year. Combined with the guidance issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology to explain the distribution of indicators, it may have a lot to do with the utilization of indicators in the first half of the year and the tendency of policy support.

Index changes of six rare Earth groups

1. Rare earths in China: the index of rock and mineral rare earths (light) in the second half of the year is 8425 tons, an increase of 42% over the first half of the year, while the index of ionic rare earths (mainly medium weight) in the second half of the year is 1250 tons, which is the same as The target of smelting separation in the second half of the year was 12189 tons, an increase of 25.8 percent over the first half

2. Minmetals rare Earth Group Co., Ltd.: ionic rare earth (mainly medium weight) index of 1005 tons in the second half of the year, the same as the first half of the year. The index of smelting separation in the second half of the year is 2829 tons, which is the same as that in the first

3. China Northern rare Earth (Group) High-tech Co., Ltd.: rock and mineral rare earth (light) index for the second half of the year is 36125 tons, an increase of 4 percent over the first half of the year Smelting separation target 31243 tons in the second half of the year, an increase of 5 percent over the first half

5. China Southern rare Earth Group Co. The target of smelting separation in the second half of the year is 15956 tons, an increase of 100.6 percent over the first half of the

6、广东省稀土产业集团有限公司:离子型稀土(以中重为主)下半年指标1350吨,与上半年持平。冶炼分离下半年指标5302吨,与上半年持平。

According to statistics, compared with the 2018 raw ore mining index, there will be an increase of 12000 tons in 2019, all of which are light rare earths in theory, of which Shenghe resources will increase by 2000 tons (which may be distributed to medium and heavy rare earth plants), Sinosteel Research will increase by 500 tons, northern rare earths will increase by 1500 tons, and Sichuan Jiangtong will increase by 8000 tons.
