CHINA RARE EARTH INFORMATION CENTER

Every rare earther, especially businessman, may have remembered that the emergence of China’s rare earth in 1980’s had really stired the international rare earth m(?)t. Yet the country’s RE industry has experienced its ups and downs since. Particularly in the early 1990’s, the rare earth industry in China stayed in stagnation as a result of over developed supply of rare earth raw material production. After years’ adjustment of the country’s RE product structure and effort of exploring RE application, China’s rare earth industry is getting mature and formed two characteristic groups with the lead of Baotou Steel & Rare Eart’. Company and Gansu Rare Earth Company in the north that are mainly engaged in the development and production of Baotou RE resource(light rare earths) and with the lead of Yuelong Non-ferrous Metals Ltd. and Zhujiang Smelter in the south that are in the development and production of ion adsorption RE resources(middle and heavy rare earths).
