2011 began with a 35% YOY drop in Chinese rare earth export quotas and further speculation of higher short-term prices. Purchasing has been slow to pick up in January, however, as REE consumers take time to digest the new supply limits.
Share prices of many prospective rare earth mining companies have continued to surge while investors remain mixed as to what direction the market will take long-term.
With the rare earth market still in a period of volatility, don't miss Asian Metal's upcoming International Rare Earth Summit 2011. The conference will be the first and only event held outside of China to include major international consumers, traders, and mining groups, as well as Chinese suppliers and producers. The conference will address the question: what is next for the rare earth industry?
Specific topics include:
- Rare earths and the global supply chain
The Fairmont Pittsburgh, which opened in early 2010, is the city's new beautiful luxury hotel situated in the heart of Pittsburgh's downtown cutural and retail hub. Nearby to a wide variety of theatre, sports, and nightlife entertainment, the Fairmont is truly in the center of it all. Fairmont Pittsburgh has also received a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) from the United States Green Building Council.
With 2010 already coming to a close, and the new 2011 export quotas soon to be announced, topics at the conference will focus on new supply-side and end-user strategies. Utilizing our extensive network across the world, Asian Metal will provide unique perspectives on the rare earth market from North America, Europe, and most importantly, Asia.
The conference promises to be of interest from an investment standpoint as well, with nearly all of the major public rare earth corporations worldwide represented.
