Characteristics and Exploitation of Rare Earth,Rare Metal and Rare-Scattered Element Minerals in China
China is rich in rear earth, rear metal, and rare-scattered element (RRR) minerals in general, and is a major producer and exporter. However, owing to backward deep-processing technologies, high environmental costs, poor strategic awareness, and other reasons, China still doesn’t have a say in the global RRR mineral market. As China has entered a critical period where technological innovation drives social development, the RRR minerals become vital because of their unlimited potentials for innovation. In this paper, based on the data accumulated during the investigation and prospecting of the RRR minerals since 2011, we briefly summarize the main characteristics of the RRR minerals, propose some suggestions for their development and utilization, and further emphasize the basic idea that “rare earth should be regulated, rare metal should be found when needed, and rare-scattered elements should be well used.”
