CHINA REDUCED QUOTAS FOR H1-2011 BY 35% CHINA INCREASED QUOTAS FOR H2-2011 BY 8.9%
China mandates consolidation of Heavy REE producers July, 2011 Heavy REE plant closures for consolidation = further supply strain
Monetary surcharges for Export Quotas only implemented in past year Additional US$100 per kg regardless of element on top of 25% tariff

I certainly believe that the FOB China prices for REEs will continue to rise given the Chinese announcement of second-half quotas. There is no reason to believe there will be anything but continuing pressure on REE prices and supplies outside of China.

Rare Earth Element or REE are Lanthanide series elements and are found at the bottom of the Periodic Table
15 elements plus Yttrium are classified as REE and have specific magnetic, fluorescent and chemical properties
Some are classed as Light, Medium or Heavy REE and have varying applications in laptops, LCDs , cellular phones and hybrid vehicles. Heavy REE such as Europium, Terbium and Dysprosium command the highest value

No substitutes exist that have the same characteristics and provide the same benefits
