As CCTV Financial reported, China Rare Earth Group was officially established on December 23.
China Rare Earth Group Co., Ltd, a state-owned enterprise, was established Thursday in east China's Jiangxi Province, in a move to enhance coordinated development of the rare-earth industry. The group, based in the city of Ganzhou, was jointly founded by three companies -- Aluminum Corporation of China, China Minmetals Corporation, Ganzhou Rare Earth Group Co., Ltd -- and two research firms -- China Iron and Steel Research Institute Group and Grinm Group Corporation Ltd. The newly-launched company will operate under the direct supervision of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council.
The established China Rare Earth Group is an equity diversified central enterprise under the direct supervision of the SASAC of the State Council. The ownership structure is: the SASAC of the State Council holds 31.21%; Aluminum Corporation of China, China Minmetals Corporation, Ganzhou Rare Earth Group CO., LTD hold 20.33% respectively; China Iron&Steel Research Institute Group and Grinm Group Corporation Limited hold 3.90% respectively. The establishment of China Rare Earth Group is a beneficial exploration and attempt by Aluminum Corporation of China, China Minmetals Corporation, Ganzhou Rare Earth Group CO., LTD based on their own development needs and adapting to the development law of the industry.
The establishment of China Rare Earth Group is an inevitable requirement to follow the historical development law of rare earth industry. Tracing back to the development process of rare earth industry, in the early stage of development after savage growth, rare earth industry will embark on the way of merger and reorganization, intensive development. Since 2003, Chinese rare earth industry has experienced three formal integration. Although the disorderly development situation of “small, scattered, chaotic and weak” of rare earth enterprises has improved, it has not been able to meet the requirements of high-quality development. Chinese rare earth enterprises will must follow the law of market development, move towards the intensive development stage of merger and reorganization, then eliminate backward and realize the optimal allocation of resources in the market.
The establishment of China Rare Earth Group is an urgent need for the green development transformation of rare earth industry. China is a big supplier of rare earth raw materials. The rapid development of rare earth has caused many historical problems. Green and low carbon is the future development trend. The “double carbon” goal is China's solemn commitment to the world. Realizing the requirements of it and accelerating the green development and environmental protection of Southern ionic rare earth mines have become the key to the sustainable and healthy development of the industry. Rare earth enterprise group can do better resources integration, overall coordination, scientific plan, unified implementation, scientific and technological innovation and coordination, and provide a strong foundation for promoting the gradual solution of relevant problems.
The establishment of China Rare Earth Group is the objective need for the high-quality development of rare earth industry. Under the new development setup, the enterprise group operation and intensive development of rare earth is conducive to the systematic and in-depth study of the basic characteristics and elemental characteristics of rare earth, increasing scientific research investment, improving the added value of rare earth terminal products, and providing technical support for the high-quality development of rare earth industry. It is conducive to improving the R&D application capacity of rare earth new handcraft, new technology and new materials, undertaking tackling common difficult problems in the rare earth industry and carrying out forward-looking research, improving the resource transformation efficiency and development achievements in high-end application fields; It is conducive to solving the problems restricting the high-quality development of rare earth enterprises, such as the imbalance of rare earth industry chain structure, the serious lag in the development of rare earth deep processing, the application and promotion of new technologies and new products, which further unblock the communication and connection between the upstream and downstream of rare earth industry chain and different fields, integrate innovative resources, form innovative forces, accelerate the transformation and application of scientific and technological achievements, promote high-end applications to a new level, and better ensure the quality upgrading of traditional industries and the development of strategic emerging industries.
The group will focus on businesses such as technical research and development, exploration, processing as well as downstream application. The collectivized management and intensive development of rare-earth enterprises is conducive to increasing investment in scientific research, integrating innovative resources, improving capabilities of developing and applying new techniques, new materials for rare-earth, in order to smooth link-up between upstream and downstream of rare-earth industrial chain, and among different fields, and facilitate the upgrade of traditional industries and development of strategic emerging industries.
