Inspection campaign

CHINA has launched a five-month inspection campaign that aims to crack down on rare earth production that is not in line with government regulations, the country's industry ministry said yesterday.

Rare earth producers that have no directive production plan, exceed production quotas or continue to use outdated or environmentally destructive production techniques will be forced to halt operations or face cancellation of quotas and licenses, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said in a statement on its website.

The campaign, from August 1 to December 31, will also clamp down on the sale or purchase of rare earth products from mines that violate industry regulations.
