Published: May 20, 2025 21:17

Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology announced the list of the first batch of 242 national-level key pilot-scale demonstration platforms for cultivation. Among them, the pilot-scale demonstration platform for high-end rare earth functional materials of China Rare Earth Group Innovation Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "CREG Innovation") has been successfully selected for the list of key pilot-scale demonstration platforms for cultivation in the non-ferrous metals sector of the raw material industry.

The pilot-scale demonstration platform for high-end rare earth functional materials of CREG Innovation is a comprehensive innovation carrier that integrates core functions such as design verification, sample trial production, and process optimization. Leveraging the resource endowments and industrial foundation of the China Rare Earth Group, the platform focuses on meeting the needs of the country's strategic emerging industries. It prioritizes the establishment of core pilot-scale production lines for high-performance rare earth permanent magnet devices, high-end micro and special motors, rare earth environmental protection catalytic materials, rare earth photo-functional ceramics and devices, rare earth aluminum-magnesium alloys, rare earth nano-powders, and more. It integrates the full-chain functions of "technology verification - process optimization - industrial application," collaborates with high-end scientific research carriers such as the National Innovation Center, academician workstations, and joint laboratories, and deeply aligns with the demands of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area's new energy, electronic information, biomedical, and other 100-billion-yuan-level end-use application industrial clusters. It supports the development of strategic emerging industries and future industrial systems, accelerating the industrial application of rare earth materials in cutting-edge fields such as solid-state batteries, medical devices, intelligent robots, semiconductors, and optical information.

CREG Innovation will take this selection as an opportunity to fully leverage the "bridging and linking" role of the pilot-scale demonstration platform, accelerate the advancement of technological breakthroughs and the industrialization process of high-end rare earth functional materials, and contribute core strength to serving national strategies and achieving high-level self-reliance and strength in science and technology.

[SMM Recycled Rare Earth Weekly Review: Ore Prices Edge Up, Pr-Nd Consolidates in Stalemate, Scrap Rises Then Stabilizes] Overall, this week, scrap Pr-Nd prices edged up before holding steady. Suppliers held back from selling and adopted a wait-and-see stance, while recycling enterprises cautiously chased higher prices only for rigid demand, resulting in stagnant actual transactions. In the short term, with the tug-of-war between upstream and downstream persisting, scrap Pr-Nd prices are expected to move sideways within a narrow range.

[SMM Rare Earth Weekly Review: Mine prices edge up slightly, Pr-Nd consolidates, medium-heavy rare earth diverges] Lanthanum oxide was quoted at 5,200-5,800 yuan/mt, flat on the week; cerium oxide was quoted at 14,000-14,500 yuan/mt, flat on the week; Pr-Nd oxide was quoted at 728,000-732,000 yuan/mt, rising overall on the week. Early in the week, driven by futures prices stopping falling and rebounding, spot suppliers strengthened their willingness to hold prices firm and raised their quotes, tightening low-priced supply in the market and prompting a slight price rebound. Subsequently, as futures weakened, wait-and-see sentiment in the market intensified, and suppliers' resolve to hold prices firm loosened, with quotes undergoing a slight correction. However, plant quotes remained firm and low-priced supply was hard to find. Downstream enterprises were cautious in inquiries and procurement, and with quarterly locked-price long-term contract deliveries underway, spot order procurement volumes pulled back noticeably, leaving actual transactions in a stalemate.
