Interesting article about REE"Here we go again. According to Xinhua, China is planning a big expansion of its use of rare earth elements. If it happens, how long can China remain an exporter of REEs to the rest of the world? Worse, with Molycorp mainly specialising in light REEs, and Lynas still suffering from delays in Malaysia at their separation plant, will there be enough non-Chinese supply of the heavy rare earths by 2014-2015? It sounds like China intends to move rapidly up the manufacturing REE value chain."
