#Rare Earth Metal Market industry

[zvaigzdelasas]

China’s Ministry of Commerce announced Thursday that export controls on antimony would take effect Sept. 15. Antimony is used in bullets, nuclear weapons production and lead-acid batteries. It can also strengthen other metals.

“Three months ago, there’s no way [any] one would have thought they would have done this. It’s quite confrontational in that regard,” Lewis Black, CEO of Canada-based Almonty Industries, said in a phone interview. The company has said it’s spending at least $125 million to reopen a tungsten mine in South Korea later this year.

Tungsten is nearly as hard as a diamond, and used in weapons, semiconductors and industrial cutting machines. Both tungsten and antimony are on the U.S. critical minerals list, and less than 10 elements away from each other on the periodic table.[...]

China accounted for 48% of global antimony mine production in 2023, while the U.S. did not mine any marketable antimony, according to the U.S. Geological Survey’s latest annual report. The U.S. has not commercially mined tungsten since 2015, and China dominates global tungsten supply, the report said.[...]

The U.S. has sought to restrict China’s access to high-end semiconductors, following which Beijing announced export controls on germanium and gallium, two metals used in chipmaking.

While tungsten is also used to make semiconductors, the metal, like antimony, is used in defense production.

“China has a declining tungsten production, but tungsten is absolutely vital, far more than antimony, in military applications,” said Christopher Ecclestone, principal and mining strategist at Hallgarten & Company.

He expects China will put export controls on tungsten by the end of the year, if not in the next month or two.[...]

Starting in 2026, the U.S. REEShore Act prohibits the use of Chinese tungsten in military equipment. That refers to the Restoring Essential Energy and Security Holdings Onshore for Rare Earths Act of 2022.[...]

China is acting more in retaliation “against what it views as an intrusion into its national interests,” Markus Herrmann Chen, co-founder and managing director of China Macro Group, said in an email.

He pointed out that China’s Third Plenum meeting of policymakers in July “put forward a completely new policy goal of better coordinating the entire minerals value chain, likely reflecting the further heightened supply importance of ‘strategic mineral resources’ for both business and geoeconomic interests.”

idk much about the internal politics of the congo but i know a liiiittle bit about the internal politics of south africa and the actual major marxist-leninist party there is in fact quite enthusiastic about continuing rare metal mining except the justification has very little to do about the role to be played by platinum or w/e in the fantasy of a global socialist republic and more to do with the more down-to-earth pre-revolutionary reality that if you get industrial/resource sovereignty you can use the leverage on intl markets to sell the metals for $$$$ to increase domestic living standards

which makes the "leftist debates" on the topic ppl conduct here all seem kinda not terribly grounded

[mindblowingscience]

Nearly all technology today—from cellphones to computers to MRI scanners—contains rare earth elements (REEs). The global market for REEs is predicted to reach $6.2 billion (USD) this year and $16.1 billion (USD) by 2034. High concentrations of one particular REE—lanthanum—are often found in mine tailings. Runoff from this waste can make its way into nearby bodies of water where it poses a risk to human health and the environment. As a result, researchers are on the hunt for ways to recover the material.

i notice a lot of tumblr users seem convinced apple is the only company that uses unethically sourced electronics materials and foxconn, and i'm sorry to say that's not true

every nintendo console since the gamecube has been produced by foxconn

sony's playstation consoles are produced by foxconn

the xbox consoles are produced by foxconn

like basically every major tech company you know of has worked with foxconn, xiamoi, nokia, sega, google, the blackberry

and that's just foxconn, that's just the people putting the stuff together. (to read more on this, I strongly recommend the book "Dying for an iPhone", which is a history of Foxconn and Foxconn's relation with Apple)

resource extraction is an even uglier game with fewer players. I'm sure you guys have heard about the congolese protests recently due to the mines expanding

nothing about the technology supply chain is clean or ethical. now, lots of supply chains are unethical and involve slavery or exploitation in some way or another - see the supply chain for textiles. but whereas an especially motivated and well-off person could buy from small farms for wool, the capital requirements to extract rare earth metals are so large that only large firms can afford to do so. firms with no incentive to increase the price of these operations by voluntarily caring about safety or ethics. the countries that are being extracted from are so poor and exploited that they have no real way to fight back, either.

i know we've all grown up with console wars and mobile phone wars and nintendo vs sony vs microsoft, nintendo vs sega, android vs iphone, but i'm sorry to say that it's all marketing, and all these companies play the dirty game of forced labor in their supply chain.

i can't tell you what the solution to this because 1. i am not an expert in international business? and 2. when transnational entities get involved, things very quickly become way out of the reach of what an ordinary citizen or even groups of citizens can do. foreign policy and business is out of our sphere of influence.

that's not to turn everyone into doomers, but to give perspective. there's no ethical console war here. if you're a student and you want to make this your career path, study economics, law, transnationalism... I recommend the book "Challenging the Chip: Labor Rights and Environmental Justice in the Global Electronics Industry," which is from 2006 but still relevant. (if you are in university, check jstor, your uni may have the book!)

“The war in Ukraine is also a battle for raw materials. The country has large deposits of iron, titanium and lithium, some of which are now controlled by Russia.” That’s what the federally owned German foreign trade agency Germany Trade and Invest (GTAI) reported on its website on January 16 under the title “Ukraine’s raw materials wealth at risk.”

There are trillions at stake. According to the GTAI, “raw material deposits worth $12.4 trillion” remain beyond the control of the Ukrainian army, “including 41 coal mines, 27 gas deposits, 9 oil fields and 6 iron ore deposits.” Ukraine has not only coal, gas, oil and wheat but also rare earths and metals—especially lithium, which has been called the “white gold” of the transition to new energy and transportation technologies. The country accounts for around one-third of Europe’s explored lithium deposits.

Only the ignorant could believe that this is irrelevant to NATO’s war aims. It would be the first major war in over 100 years that is not about mineral resources, markets and geostrategic interests. The World Socialist Web Site has pointed out in previous articles that deposits of critical raw materials in Russia and China, which are essential to the transition to electric mobility and renewable energy, are an important factor in the war calculus of NATO states.

Yet they go unmentioned in the media’s round-the-clock war propaganda. The media wish the public to believe that NATO is waging this war to defend “freedom” and “democracy”—and that after bombing Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria back into the Middle Ages under similar pretexts.

Relevant trade journals, industry magazines and think tanks, on the other hand, rave about Ukraine’s mineral wealth and discuss how best to capture it. It was to this end that German Economics Minister Robert Habeck (Green Party) even traveled to Ukraine at the beginning of April with a high-ranking business delegation.

According to the industry magazine Mining World, Ukraine has a total of around 20,000 raw material deposits, of which only 7,800 have been explored. Numerous other articles and strategy papers openly state that this is what the war is about.

On February 24, 2022, the day of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the largest German business magazine, Capital, published an article stating that “Europe’s supply of raw materials” was “threatened” by the Russian occupation of eastern Ukraine. Ukraine was not only “the leading grain exporter” but also the largest EU supplier of iron ore pellets and “a linchpin for Europe’s energy security.” Among investors, the magazine said, there is “concern that the war will cut off exports of key raw materials.”

The GTAI article cited earlier reports that European steel mills were sourcing nearly one-fifth of their iron ore pellets from Ukraine in 2021. GTAI goes on to write that Ukraine is among the top ten producers of iron ore, manganese, zirconium, and graphite, and is “among the world leaders in titanium and kaolin.” In addition to “untapped oil and gas fields,” Ukraine’s lithium and titanium deposits, in particular, hold “enormous potential” for the European economy. In 2020, production volumes amounted to 1,681,000 tons of kaolin, 537,000 tons of titanium, 699,000 tons of manganese and 49,274,000 tons of iron ore.

Lithium for electromobility and energy storage

The price of lithium has increased more than eightfold in the last decade and is the subject of intense speculation. The metal is of strategic importance to the major imperialist powers because it is used in lithium-ion batteries installed in electric vehicles and off-grid renewable energy sources, and is also needed for lightweight aluminum alloys in the aerospace industry.

The largest lithium deposit in Europe is located in the Donetsk Oblast in the middle of the embattled Donbas region, only kilometers from the front lines. An article in the Tagesspiegel, published two months after the Russian invasion, points to untapped lithium reserves of 500,000 tons in Shevchenko near Potrovsk and at least two other Ukrainian deposits.

Western companies and Ukrainian oligarchs were already fighting bitterly for control of this “white gold” before the war. As the Tagesspiegel reports, “Ukrainian businessmen” (who stood close to the Ukrainian government of the time under the oligarch Petro Poroshenko) with connections to Western mining companies obtained mining licenses, without a tender process, for the lithium deposit in Shevchenko as early as 2018.

The company in question, Petro Consulting—which was renamed “European Lithium Ukraine” shortly before the war began—is expected to be bought out by the Australian-European mining company European Lithium once its access to Ukraine’s lithium reserves is secured.

In 2018, when the Ukrainian Geological Survey refused to issue a “special permit” for Ukraine’s second largest lithium deposit at Dobra, likewise bypassing the tender process, Petro Consulting went so far as to sue the agency. After the Ukrainian Procurator General’s Office eventually launched an investigation into the allegedly illegal special permits, Petro-Consulting had its Shevchenko mining license revoked by the courts in April 2020 until further notice.

However, a spokesman for European Lithium told Der Tagesspiegel that the company bears “no risk in connection with the Ukrainian deposits.” He expressed confidence that the projects would be “made production-ready” after the end of the war.

Titanium for the Western arms industry

In a September 2022 article titled “Ukraine’s Titanium Can Armor the West,” the transatlantic think tank Center for European Policy Analysis (CEPA) wrote: “Support for Ukraine has been driven by strategic concerns and moral-political values. But long-term Western help should also be based on solid material interests.”

“Ukraine’s substantial titanium deposits” are “a key resource critical to the West” because the metal is “integral to many defense systems,” such as aircraft components and missiles. Currently, the raw material for Airbus, Boeing and Co. is extracted “in an expensive and time-consuming six-step process” from titanium ore, which until then had been sourced to a considerable extent from Russia. This “dependence” on “strategic competitors and adversaries” is unacceptable from the West’s point of view and can be ended with the help of Ukrainian resources:

For example, Dnipro-based Velta, the largest private exporter of raw titanium in Europe, has developed a new production system that bypasses the intensive process of producing titanium sponge and could supply the US and European defense and aerospace industries with finished metal. Given there are only five countries in the world actively producing titanium sponge —China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Japan and Ukraine — Velta’s technology could be a game changer for the supply chain by cutting reliance on Russia and China.

CEPA is funded by US and European defense contractors and lists as members of its “scientific advisory board” Donald Trump’s National Security Advisor General H. R. McMaster, former German Defense Minister Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer, former Swedish Prime Minister Carl Bildt and publicists Anne Applebaum, Francis Fukuyama, and Timothy Garton Ash among others.

The CEPA article continues, “Reorienting titanium contracts to Ukraine would stimulate the country’s economy, even during wartime, not to mention during postwar reconstruction, and simultaneously strike another blow at Russia’s war machine.” The goal, it states, should be “cementing Ukraine’s integration into Europe.”

A January 28, 2023 report in Newsweek reports, “there is a nascent effort underway in the U.S. and allied nations to identify, develop, and utilize Ukraine’s vast resources of a key metal crucial for the development of the West’s most advanced military technology which will form the backbone of future deterrence against Russia and China.” The report adds, “If Ukraine wins, the U.S. and its allies will be in sole position to cultivate a new conduit of titanium.”

“Strategic raw materials partnership” between EU and Ukraine

The US and EU efforts to plunder Ukraine’s lithium and titanium deposits are part of the broader goal of tying Ukraine to the West as a strategic raw materials supplier. In particular, the EU is seeking to free itself from dependence on China—currently its most important raw materials supplier—against which the imperialist powers, especially the United States, are preparing to wage war.

On July 13, 2021, Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal and Maroš Šefčovič, Vice President of the European Commission, signed a “Strategic Partnership on Raw Materials and Batteries” in Kiev to “integrate critical raw materials and battery value chains.” Ukraine’s inclusion in the European Raw Materials Alliance (ERMA) and the European Battery Alliance (EBA) serves to “bolster Europe’s resilience and open strategic autonomy in key technologies,” the EU Commission said.

Referring to the list of critical raw materials in the EU’s associated “action plan,” Šefčovič told the press, “21 of these critical raw materials are in Ukraine, which is also extracting 117 out of 120 globally used minerals.” He added: “We’re talking about lithium, cobalt, manganese, rare earths—all of them are in Ukraine.”

Following the signing, EU Internal Market Commissioner Thierry Breton, who is also responsible for the defense and space industries of EU countries, praised the “high potential of the critical raw material reserves in Ukraine” that could help in “addressing some of the strategic dependencies [of the EU].”

Speaking at Raw Materials Week in Brussels in November 2022, Prime Minister Shmyhal stressed that Ukraine is “among the top ten producers of titanium, iron ore, kaolin, manganese, zirconium and graphite” and renewed his pledge to make the country an “integral part of industrial supply chains in the EU.”

The EU’s “strategic dependencies” are by no means limited to Russia or China and certainly not to Ukraine. A global race for strategic sources of raw materials has long since begun, in the course of which the US and the leading EU powers are attempting to divide among themselves the mineral resources and other resources of the “weaker” states. Although they are jointly waging war against Russia in Ukraine, this inevitably exacerbates conflicts between themselves as well.

The escalation of the war in Ukraine shows that the ruling elites are willing to go to extremes to enforce their profit interests. Only the working class can put an end to permanent war and the prospect of devastating nuclear war by bringing the resources of the entire planet under its democratic control on the basis of a socialist program and holding war profiteers to account.

As the relationship between the United States and China deteriorates, the battle between the two powers for supremacy in low-carbon industries is leading the slide. From batteries to solar panels to rare-earth metals used in wind turbines, technologies that over the past decade have cratered in cost and surged in scale – thanks to innovation supported by both Washington and Beijing – are targets in yet another trans-Pacific trade fight.

But investing in innovative green machines at home is only one way to affect the climate, and setting protectionist industrial policy is only one way to boost geopolitical power. At least as important to the planet is the money the United States and China spend on financing infrastructure in emerging markets and developing economies (EMDEs) — infrastructure that will lock in high or low carbon-emission pathways for decades. Never has it been more crucial that the two countries, even as they vie for supremacy in low-carbon innovation, support each other’s efforts to decarbonize their respective infrastructure finance flows.

China bankrolls more infrastructure in EMDEs than any other country. But much of that infrastructure has been dirty. According to a Boston University database, Chinese companies and so-called policy banks – large government-affiliated institutions – have financed 648 power plants in 92 countries.[1] Of those plants’ collective power-generation capacity, more than 50% burn fossil fuel, and 34% burn the dirtiest sort of fossil fuel: coal. But China, facing criticism and sensing shifting economics, has pledged to change that. In November 2021, Chinese President Xi Jinping declared that his country “will step up support for other developing countries in developing green and low-carbon energy, and will not build new coal-fired power projects abroad.”[2] Today, more than a year later, China must make good on that pledge through deep, structural changes to its political economy; otherwise, changes in its outbound investment will not take hold.

China’s task is daunting, threatening some of the biggest companies in China and thus in the world. It is even more intimidating because it looms at a time of perilous animosity between Washington and Beijing, evidenced by military brinkmanship over Taiwan, tit-for-tat trade barriers on products ranging from computer chips to solar panels, and superpower shadowboxing over Russia’s war in Ukraine. Yet China’s decarbonization of its foreign infrastructure finance is existentially important — for the planet, the Chinese economy, and U.S. citizens and firms. Contrary to the zero-sum view toward China that constitutes conventional wisdom in Washington, the winning strategy for the United States is not merely to try to eclipse China as an international financier of green infrastructure. The United States is trying to do that, notably through the Partnership for Global Infrastructure and Investment, a plan the administration of U.S. President Joe Biden and its G-7 allies announced last June to boost infrastructure investment in EMDEs, in large part to fight climate change. That effort was conceived broadly as a geopolitical counter to the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), China’s decade-old infrastructure- and market-building campaign across the Global South, and to the BRI’s newer sibling, China’s Global Development Initiative (GDI).[3] To be sure, a greening of U.S. and G-7 infrastructure investment abroad is needed and welcome. But it is insufficient. The smart strategy for the United States, even as it decarbonizes its own outbound infrastructure finance, is to encourage maximal greening of China’s massive infrastructure investment abroad — and to leverage that Chinese spending to create new opportunities for export-focused U.S. firms in a decarbonizing world.

Yttrium Metal Price | Prices | Pricing | News | Database | Chart | ChemAnalyst

 

Yttrium, a rare earth metal known for its diverse applications, has experienced significant shifts in its market dynamics and pricing trends in recent years. As a critical component used across various high-tech sectors, yttrium's demand and price are influenced by global economic conditions, technological advancements, and geopolitical factors. The metal’s most common uses are in phosphors for displays, LED lights, ceramics, and in some cases, as an additive in alloys to improve strength and resistance. The global market for yttrium has seen fluctuating prices over the years due to changes in demand and supply, creating a complex pricing environment influenced by several key trends.

The price of yttrium metal is closely tied to its role in the broader rare earth elements market, where supply chains are often dominated by a few key countries, notably China. China has historically been the largest producer and exporter of yttrium, exerting considerable control over global supply. This dominance gives China the power to impact prices based on its export policies, mining regulations, and trade relations with other nations. When China has imposed export restrictions or tariffs, the global supply has tightened, often driving prices upward. Conversely, loosening export controls can lead to price reductions by increasing the availability of yttrium. This market control underscores the metal’s status as a strategic material in various international trade discussions.

Get Real Time Prices for Yttrium Metal: https://www.chemanalyst.com/Pricing-data/yttrium-metal-1612Yttrium’s price fluctuations are also closely linked to the demand from the technology and energy sectors. The metal's use in LEDs, green phosphors for cathode ray tubes, and flat-panel displays has been a significant driver of demand over the last decade. As global technology consumption has risen, so too has the demand for yttrium, supporting higher prices in many instances. Additionally, its role in creating high-performance materials, such as yttria-stabilized zirconia used in thermal coatings and medical devices, continues to reinforce demand. As industries seek improved durability and efficiency, innovations that utilize yttrium often lead to sustained or increased demand. As a result, the metal's price can experience upward pressure during periods of technological growth and adoption.

In recent years, sustainability and environmental concerns have come to the forefront of the yttrium market. The mining and refining of rare earth metals, including yttrium, present significant environmental challenges due to the waste produced and the potential for pollution. In response to these concerns, stricter environmental regulations and sustainability practices have been implemented, particularly in China. These measures have occasionally constrained yttrium production, contributing to supply shortages and price increases. Furthermore, global efforts to diversify supply chains and reduce reliance on a single country or region have led to the exploration of alternative sources of yttrium. The development of rare earth deposits outside of China, such as those in Australia and the United States, seeks to stabilize the market and mitigate sudden price swings driven by regional production changes.

Another factor impacting yttrium prices is its status as a co-product of other rare earth mining processes. Yttrium is often extracted alongside heavier rare earth elements, and fluctuations in demand for these co-products can affect the profitability of yttrium production. When demand for related rare earths is low, yttrium production may decrease, leading to potential price increases. Conversely, rising demand for other rare earths can boost yttrium supply, potentially reducing prices if the market becomes oversaturated. This interdependence underscores the complex relationship between yttrium and the broader rare earth market.

The role of geopolitical factors in determining yttrium prices should not be underestimated. Trade disputes, tariffs, and diplomatic tensions can all have significant impacts on the availability and pricing of rare earth metals. For instance, during periods of strained relations between major trading partners, the rare earth market, including yttrium, can experience sudden price spikes. Governments in many countries have recognized the strategic importance of rare earths and have sought to develop their domestic capabilities or secure reliable trade partnerships. The U.S., European Union, Japan, and other regions have invested in research, development, and processing facilities to reduce dependence on foreign sources, aiming to stabilize prices and ensure consistent supply in the future.

Technological advancements and innovation play a dual role in shaping yttrium's price trajectory. On the one hand, innovations can lead to new applications, increasing demand and potentially driving prices higher. On the other hand, technological breakthroughs that replace yttrium with other materials or improve efficiency in its usage could lead to reduced demand and subsequent price decreases. The dynamic interplay between technological advancements and market demand makes predicting yttrium prices a complex endeavor, influenced by the pace of innovation and industrial change.

To summarize, the pricing trends of yttrium metal are shaped by a combination of supply chain dynamics, technological advancements, environmental regulations, geopolitical influences, and market demand fluctuations. As a critical rare earth metal, yttrium’s price is sensitive to shifts in global trade policies, environmental considerations, and technological innovations. Moving forward, efforts to diversify supply, enhance sustainability, and expand applications for yttrium are likely to play a central role in determining its market value. Investors, manufacturers, and governments must closely monitor these factors to understand and anticipate changes in the market, recognizing the interconnected nature of yttrium's pricing mechanisms with the broader rare earth industry and technological landscape.

Basic information of Scandium

Scandium (Sc, atomic number 21) is a rare earth element with atomic weight 44.955908. Its melting point is 2,806°F (1,541°C). The appearance of its metal form is silvery-white while slightly yellowish or pinkish cast when oxidized in air. It can be dissolved slowly in most dilute acids. Similar to the early founded lanthan and yttrium, in the fullerene cluster, scandium shows as +3 metal cation and enables a new type of host/guest nanostructured material. Scandium is a soft transition metal and could be in various forms such as powder, solid metal (sputtering target, disc, rod, lump, plate), alloys (mainly Al-Sc alloy), chemical compounds. Scandium chemical compounds include scandium oxide, scandium chloride, scandium carbonate, scandium fluoride, scandium nitrate, etc.

Application of Scandium

As a component of alloy, scandium is used mainly in aluminum-scandium alloys. Addition of scandium improves the grain refinement of ingots and casting based on certain concentration of scandium. By increasing the recrystallization temperature, the aluminum alloys increase the weldability. It enables the alloys as strong as titanium, as light as aluminum and as hard as ceramic. When used in minor aerospace industry, 0.1% ~2% of scandium was contained in alloys. Aluminum-scandium alloy can also be used in sports equipment due to the physical characteristics.

Meanwhile, scandium is employed in the solid-state synthesis with other metals like Mn, Fe, Ru or Os to show the special magnetic properties.

In lightning areas, scandium iodide is one of the materials to make up metal halide lamp or light bulbs.

Scandium used in 400 nm Sc75Fe25 nanoglass exhibits excellent plastic deformation ability.

Scandium oxide exhibits ac conductivity at temperatures between 4 and 295 K. It is newly found that scandium borocarbide with a layered crystal structure performs superconductivity.

Global exploration

Scandium is named from Scandinavia, the place where it was found. The global scandium supply and consumption is about 10-15 tons/y though the resources are abundant.

The price in US maintains in a stable level in recent years as U.S. Geological Survey reported in 2019, while in China the raw scandium oxide holds a relatively low price.

In worldwide, exploration continues to meet the increased demand, though the scandium market remains relatively small compared to other metals. Several projects are undergoing to enable the new aluminum-scandium alloys commercialized as casting and addictive in manufacturing industry.

Future of scandium

With high melting temperature, high conductivity, good flexibility in compound, scandium will be a candidate in functional materials. It will also be used in healthcare region as it has not been found toxic, though ranges of animal testing should be done in the future.
