Inner Mongolia Baotou Steel Rare-earth (Group) Hi-tech Co., Ltd announced recently that one of its subsidiaries was approved to carry out a rare-earth strategic reserve program.
The company will build 10 rare-earth oxide reserve projects with over 200,000 tons of total capacity.
Since the beginning of 2008, global financial crisis led to a sharp decline in rare-earth prices. And Japan's massive rare-earth reserves guaranteed the country's pricing rights in the world rare earth market.
Xu Guangxian, a 90-year-old chemist with Peking University, known as China's "father of rare-earth", suggested that China should "establish a national reverse system for rare-earth." China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) has disclosed its specific plan for the development of China's rare-earth industry from 2009 to 2015.
Baotou Steel Rare-earth Group will manage the fund rising for the reserve system, while Inner Mongolia autonomous regional government, Baotou municipal government and Baogang Group will provide interest subsidies.
