5 Moon 14 On [date], the Ministry of Natural Resources released a statement, 2015 The annual total production control targets for rare-earth and tungsten mines—both nationwide and by province (or autonomous region)—have been issued. Among these, the rare-earth mine (rare-earth oxides) REO ) The total extraction control indicator is: 10.5 10,000 tons, tungsten concentrate (tungsten trioxide content) 65% ) The total extraction control indicator is: 9.13 Ten thousand tons.

　　It is reported that, among the national targets for rare earth mining control, the quota for ion-adsorption-type rare earth mines (primarily consisting of medium- and heavy-rare earths) has been set. 1.79 Ten thousand tons, rock and mineral type ( Light ) Rare earth mineral indicators 8.71 Ten thousand tons. Among the national targets for tungsten concentrate mining, the primary extraction target is... 7.33 Ten thousand tons, comprehensive utilization index 1.8 Ten thousand tons.

　　According to the introduction, in order to promote the structural adjustment and optimization of the rare-earth industry, and in accordance with the State Council’s requirements for accelerating the implementation of the rare-earth enterprise group strategy, indicators allocated to rare-earth groups that have already completed integration and restructuring will be listed separately within the provincial (or autonomous region) total quotas and issued by the provincial-level land and resources authorities directly to the rare-earth mining enterprises. For those not yet included in a group or whose integration and restructuring have not been completed, the allocation will continue to be handled by the provincial (or autonomous region) authorities. The Ministry of Land and Resources has requested that land and resources authorities at all local levels take measures to strengthen the verification and inspection of the implementation of key mining quotas for rare-earth and tungsten mines, and strictly prohibit enterprises from privately transferring these quotas to other companies. The Ministry will inspect how each region has broken down and allocated the total mining control quotas, as well as the implementation of monthly and quarterly reporting systems, and will organize timely inspections of quota implementation as needed.

　　According to additional reports, China Minmetals Corporation, Chinalco, Baotou Iron and Steel (Group) Co., Ltd., Xiamen Tungsten Co., Ltd., Ganzhou Rare Earth Group Co., Ltd., and Guangdong Province Rare Earth Industry Group Co., Ltd., among others, ... 6 The integration and restructuring plan for the China Rare Earth Group has been approved and filed by the relevant authorities.
