Many ministries are slashing their way to the illegal rare earth industry chain, so that "black rare earths" cannot be "bleached", thus curbing rare earth pirates.
Yesterday, an internal report obtained by the “First Financial Daily†reporter from the authoritative channel showed that under the lead investigation of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Hunan Province has investigated and dealt with seven enterprises involved in illegal laws and regulations, and confiscated illegal income and imposed a fine of 140. Ten thousand yuan.
By sorting out the punishment materials of these illegal enterprises, the reporter found that some rare-earth mining products and rare earth mineral products of unknown origin have not only obtained the rare earth special invoices symbolizing “legal status†after seven enterprises have reversed each other and transferred. Can be sold "legitimately" to downstream smelting and separating enterprises.
In view of the rare earth black mines, some people close to the special inspection team said that many ministries will also launch a new round of anti-black activities and continue to maintain the high-pressure situation of cracking down on illegal activities.
After the invoice was invoiced by the trader
“Party Chen XX sold the company’s inventory, which sold 305 tons of rare earth ore, with a payment of 45.66 million yuan. It could not explain the source and imposed a penalty of 500,000 yuan for the illegal confiscation of the party Chen X.â€
This is a statement about the illegality and violation of Jianghua Rare Earth Development Co., Ltd. (Yongzhou City). Such a narrative has been written in the above-mentioned internal report entitled "Hunan Province's strict violation of laws and regulations on rare earths."
In addition to Jianghua Rare Earth Development Co., Ltd., Hunan gold and Business Development Company Limited (Changsha), Hunan abundance Chemical Co., Ltd. (Changsha), Shuangpai County Fu Yi Trading Co., Ltd. (Yongzhou), Heshun County Huayuan Mining Co., Ltd. ( Xiangxi Prefecture, Huayuan County Senyuan Mining Co., Ltd. (Xiangxi Prefecture), Baojing Hefeng Mineral Products Trading Co., Ltd. (Xiangxi Prefecture) are also involved.
Among them, the two companies in Changsha City illegally acquired and sold rare earths involved in a large amount of money, the Municipal Industry and Commerce Bureau has transferred the case to the public security organs, and the other five companies were given a fine of 100,000 to 500,000 yuan.
Our reporters learned from many interviews that although the above seven companies are located in Changsha, Yongzhou and Xiangxi, they are not independent of each other, but they cooperate with each other and finally form a close circulation chain. In this way, the whole process of selling “black rare earth†step by step to the hands of smelting and separating enterprises is completed.
"These illegal rare earth mines generally have to deal with several trading companies. First, a trading company buys 'black mines' and sells them to another trading company or companies. The latter generally can issue special invoices for rare earths." The above-mentioned close investigators told this reporter.
After this link, the illegal rare earth mineral products from illegal sources were “washed white†because of the special invoices for rare earths. Since then, the rare earth with the “legitimate†identity has been sold to the smelting and separation plant through formal channels.
"Rare Earth black chain is the root undermined the market order." Jia Silver Pine Ministry of Rare Earth Office Director has said publicly, behind the black interests of black chain is collusion, "It's a not a street criminal problem, but rather a set of matching."
Specifically, among the 7 companies, 4 enterprises including Huayu County Heshun Mining Co., Ltd., Huayuan County Senyuan Mining Co., Ltd., Baojing Hefeng Mineral Products Trading Co., Ltd. and Jianghua Rare Earth Development Co., Ltd. participated in the purchase. The first step into the "black rare earth".
Clase Huayuan County, two rare earth companies, for example, Sen source mining limited liability company which has previously Proton Business (Beijing) Co., Ltd. purchased the yttrium europium-rich mixed rare earth ore 108.2 tons, and from the hands of private owners at least seven Acquired about 450 tons of Zhonghao Fuyu rare earth mine, a total of 558.3 ​​tons; Heshun Mining Co., Ltd. purchased 64.5 tons of Zhonghao Fuyu rare earth mine from Baojing County Hefeng Company, and purchased it from different private bosses. Into the Zhongfu Fuyu rare earth mine 531.5 tons, a total of 595.9 tons.
These illegal rare earth mineral products gradually flowed into the hands of Hunan Hejin Trading Development Co., Ltd., Hunan Hefeng Chemical Co., Ltd. and Shuangpai Fuyi Trading Co., Ltd. According to the aforementioned internal report, in addition to purchasing from the above four production companies, the three trading companies also maintain trade relations with rare earth mineral sources in other channels such as Beijing and Guangxi.
According to the above-mentioned close investigators, these trading companies have played the most important role of “white gloves†in the process of “black rare earth†circulation. After acquiring the products of the above four illegal enterprises, they also issued special rare earth VAT. invoice.
"These minerals can't be said to be legal, but they are 'bleached' by some means, because for smelting and separating companies, many of them are purchased as long as they have invoices," said the investigator.
According to public information, one of the main purposes of the implementation of rare earth special invoices is to crack down on illegal rare earth mining. However, the current problem is that traders can also issue special invoices, which means that there is not much restriction on obtaining special invoices. The management effect is greatly reduced.
Is the smelting and separating enterprise informed?
Referring to the "black rare earth" in the market, a senior executive of a rare earth enterprise in Baotou told the "First Financial Daily" reporter that there were many more from 2008 to 2010 than before. "The rare earth market has been declining since 2011, the price One day is not as good as one day, and policy regulations and joint inspections are becoming more and more intensive and stricter, and the cost of illegal activities is getting higher and higher."
According to the data held by the reporter, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Land and Resources, the Ministry of Environmental Protection and other ministries have previously identified 46 illegal production enterprises, revoked 160 business licenses for rare earth enterprises, and seized 19,000 tons of illegal products. The smuggling case was found to be 52 million yuan.
"Formal enterprises, especially large enterprises, such as the national prefix, people can not take this risk." Some industry sources said.
However, according to the investigation by the special inspection team, this is an illegal mineral product. After “bleachingâ€, it has also been sold to the smelting and separating enterprises and other trading enterprises under the subsidiaries of Chinalco Guangxi Nonferrous Metals Rare Earth Co., Ltd. and Minmetals Jianfeng.
From the outside world, although these smelting and separating plants are not directly involved in the black ore trading, the source of these rare earth mines is gray.
For these claims, Chinalco responded to the reporter of China Business News yesterday that its affiliated companies have consistently adhered to legal compliance operations in accordance with relevant laws and regulations in the procurement of rare earth raw materials.
At present, as one of the integration entities of the six rare earth groups, Chinalco will focus on the integration of rare earth mining and smelting in Guangxi, Jiangsu, Shandong, Sichuan and other provinces (regions) with its China Rare Earth Co., Ltd. And comprehensive utilization of enterprises.
On the afternoon of the same day, the rare earths of Minmetals told this reporter that they have already paid attention to the relevant reports, but because they have not communicated with the subsidiaries, they are not sure whether the information mentioned in the reports is true or not. It is recommended that the reporters directly ask questions. enterprise. The person also confirmed that Dingnan Dahua is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Minmetals Rare Earth, and the acquisition of Minmetals Jianfeng is still in progress.
Minmetals Jianfeng is the full name of Guangzhou Jianfeng Minmetals Rare Earth Co., Ltd., which is one of the holding companies of Minmetals. In November last year, Minmetals Rare Earth announced that it intends to acquire control of Guangzhou Jianfeng Minmetals Rare Earth Co., Ltd. in cash. At present, the project has completed the audit and evaluation work, and is fulfilling the filing and internal procedures. Since Minmetals Rare Earth has not signed any framework or intention agreement with the trading party, the main trading elements such as the transaction price and the proportion of shares acquired have not yet been finalized.
As of press time, the Minmetals Group did not respond to reporters.
For the purpose of protecting rare earth resources, the state has always adopted the method of total control indicators for rare earth mines. Compared with the 9.38 million tons of mining targets issued last year, this year's indicators have increased by a maximum of 112,000 tons, an increase of more than 10%.
However, in actual implementation, this kind of management and control often controls the exploitation of regular rare earth enterprises, but it is difficult to control the popularity of private mines, and it is even impossible to eradicate the private mining of rare earth mines. In addition, the new mining indicators are not enough for enterprises, and some “eatless†enterprises have become the best channel for digesting illegal rare earth mines.
