China has set the first batch of rare earth mining quota for 2022 at 100,800 tons, up about 20% compared with that in 2021, with the smelting & separation quota at 97,200 tons.Quotas for the first half of 2021 were set at 84,000 tons for mining and 81,000 tons for smelting & separation. An independent industrial analyst said that the 20% jump was mainly due to China’s surging demand for Nd Fe B magnets, amid the new energy push in China.
