    China rare earth prices rising

    19 January 2010

    Rare earth prices surge in Q1 despite China increasing annual export quotas

    Keywords: rare earth, neodymium, praseodymium, cerium, magnets, hard drives

    Prices of certain key rare earth minerals from China the source of over 95% of world supply have risen sharply since the start of the year due to a shortage of material.

    Industry sources reported a surge in prices, especially for the magnetic rare earth materials neodymium and praseodymium, despite a year-on-year increase in the first round of Chinese export quotas for 2010.

    Latest prices have been quoted as follow:

    Cerium oxide (99%, bulk purchases, FOB China), used for flat panel polish: $4.40/kg, up from $3.2-4.2/kg


    from Industrial Minerals; rising prices will bring back share price as well.
