Shares of Avalon Rare Metals (AVL.to), the Canadian rare earths miners, are soaring 4% and leading a rally in the rare earths sector after China, the world’s largest exporter of the 17 elements used to make an array of products from smartphones to night-vision goggles, said it would expand quotas for rare earths to include iron alloys made from rare earths. China controls 95% of the global export market for rare earths and has not been shy about slashing quotas in the past year, a policy that has caused a surge in prices for the metals.
The news has led to a sector-wide rally in rare earths stocks as the Rare Earth Stocks Index is surging 3.9% ...China also vowed to intensify its efforts to crack down on rare earths smuggling. In the past year, the country has bolstered its efforts to shutter illegal rare earths mines in a bid to reduce pollution and the latest effort is further proof China is serious about stamping out its black market for rare earths. Beijing warned companies using backdoor methods to move rare earths out of the country will now face stiffer penalties. Illegal rare earth exports from China have amounted to as much as 10,000 tonnes of supply last year, according to some industry estimates, the Financial Post reported. Shares of Molycorp (MCP), the largest U.S.-based rare earths miner, are up 4% as are shares of Rare Element Resources (REE) and Market Vectors Rare Earth/Strategic Metals ETF (REMX), the lone rare earths ETF, are both higher by over 1%.
