China accounted for the decline was 57%.

According to foreign countries has been put into the project a production capacity, in 2015 China proportion of global production of rare earth products will be reduced from the original 95% 73%; if the entire project has been built up foreign expansion of production capacity, China accounted for the decline was 57%.
According to Zhang, currently abroad, has reached production of rare earth projects U.S. Mountain Pass mine, Weld mine in Australia, Russia's Kola Peninsula mines, these mines with an annual output of thousands of tons to 25,000 tons from range, but there did not achieve full capacity. In addition, Kazakhstan, India, Canada, Vietnam and other places are rare in the construction projects, these projects into production, of production still time.
U.S. molybdenum company originally planned Mountain Pass rare earth plant first phase production capacity expanded to 19,050 tons of rare earth oxides, the second phase of 40,000 tons. But with rare-earth prices, the original plan completed by mid-2013, the second phase of Mountain Pass rare earth plant expansion plans molybdenum company said, only when the market demand, product prices, capital and financial reports proved to be expansion when to begin The second phase of construction.
Australia's Lynas's progress is not entirely smooth, and its separation plant in Malaysia due to radioactive materials by local residents objected. Zhang said, Linus decided to factory waste mixed with other materials, diluted, made of materials comply with Australian standards and then shipped back to their own, but this plan has not really implemented.
Nevertheless, it is expected that by 2015, there will be 2-3 Rare foreign projects have been put into production. Zhang believes that foreign countries have put into the project in accordance with a production capacity in 2015, China's rare earth products accounted for the proportion of the global production from the original 95% to 73%; if the entire project has been built up foreign expansion of production capacity, China will decline as the proportion 57%; when the foreign construction projects meet all capacity expansion, China's rare earth industry will also dynamic development, and eventually the proportion of rare earth products in China may reach 50%.
"But one thing, the world's total supply of light rare earth elements may still be excessive, then the (Chinese share) could occupy 50% of the final right to speak, remains to be analyzed." Zhang said.
Cost analysis of the dispute
China Rare Earth Industry Association, the American Molybdenum Corporation and the Australian Lynas Corporation, Baotou Steel Rare Earth and Sichuan JCC input-output and cost structure of the data were analyzed and concluded that the competitiveness of foreign mining is not better than the competitiveness of domestic mining low.
The cost for the domestic rare earth project analysis, conclusions today.
Ma Rongzhang said rare earth industry association for U.S. Molybdenum Corporation and the Australian Lynas Corporation, Baotou Steel Rare Earth and Sichuan JCC input-output and cost structure of the data were analyzed and concluded that foreign mining competitiveness is not competitive than domestic mine low.
He said the U.S. company's direct costs are lower than molybdenum world's largest rare earth production companies - Baotou Steel Rare Earth.
First, the cut-off grade molybdenum plating mining company more than 9 percent, Baotou Bayan Obo mine cut-off grade of only 5%. Cut-off grade is divided ore and non-ore boundaries lowest grade, which is when the unit mineralized orebody in the useful components like minimum grade is a measure of economic mine main technical and economic parameters.
In addition, molybdenum Our own thermal power plants, power generation using natural gas, electricity costs only 0.2 yuan / kWh (degrees); also self chlor-alkali plants, chemical raw materials to achieve self-sufficiency in circulation, and so on.
