- Rare Earth Primary Product Description:
1) A rare earth mineral is a mineral which contains one or more rare earth elements as major metal constituents. Yttrium is found in almost all rare earth minerals. Rare earth minerals are usually found in association with alkaline to per-alkaline igneous complexes, in pegmatites associated with alkaline magmas and in or associated with carbonatite intrusives. Perovskite mineral phases are common hosts to rare earth elements within the alkaline complexes. Mantle derived carbonate melts also are carriers of the rare earths. Hydrothermal deposits associated with alkaline magmatism contain a variety of rare earth minerals.
2) Any of the abundant metallic elements of atomic number 57 through 71. Also called lanthanides.
- Rare Earth Primary Product Physical Shapes Available:
Powder, pellet, piece, button, foil, disc, wire and rod

|
Rare Earth primary products are mainly used as raw materials for high-purity individual Rare Earth chemicals, and in the making of petroleum and environment protection catalysts, mischmetal, polishing powders and Rare Earth fertilizers.
Most Rare Earth metals can be processed to different shape and size for evaporation materials, sputtering targets and other specialty applications.
Super Pure Rare Earth oxides are obtained by Ion-exchange technology, it can reduce both Rare Earth impurities and non-Rare Earth impurities significantly, to purify individual Rare Earth oxides again to above 99.999% purity, some oxides can achieve 99.9999% purity. These super pure Rare Earth Oxides are widely used in making laser crystal, fibre coating, and high-tech ceramics.

- Rare Earth Economic Outlook to 2016:
The global market for rare earth oxides was 158.2 thousand metric tons in 2011, and is expected to reach nearly 258 thousand metric tons by 2016, a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.3%, according to the study “Rare Earths: Worldwide Markets, Applications, and Technologies” from BCC Research. The global market for rare earth oxides can be broken down into six segments: mechanical or metallurgical, glass and ceramics, chemical, energy, electronics, and others. The mechanical or metallurgical segment accounted for almost 51,000 metric tons in 2011, and should be nearly 77,000 metric tons by the end of 2016, a CAGR of 8.6%. The glass and ceramics segment totaled 39,500 metric tons in 2011 and should reach 60,000 tons in 2016, a CAGR of 8.7%. The chemical segment, 24,800 metric tons in 2011, should total 32.6 thousand metric tons in 2016, a CAGR of 6.2%. The energy segment, 27,300 metric tons in 2011, should total nearly 62,000 metric tons in 2016, a CAGR of 17.8%. The segment made up of electronics, optics, and optoelectronics accounted for nearly 12,000 metric tons in 2011 and in 2016 should total nearly 21,300 metric tons after increasing at a CAGR of 12.4%. The other rare earth oxides accounted for nearly 4,000 metric tons in 2011, and in 2016 will account for nearly 5,200 metric tons, a CAGR of 5.8%. 4 JAN 2012 Source: BCC Research
