BEIJING - China said Monday it has launched an inter-provincial operation to better regulate the production of light rare earth metals in its latest effort to rein in illegal rare earth exploration.
The country has suspended the issuance of new licenses for rare earth prospecting and mining, imposed production caps and export quotas, and announced tougher environmental standards for rare earth production in order to control environmental damage and protect the resources.
The governments will also cooperate to better plan the development of rare earths and explore the establishment of strategic reserves of rare earth resources and rare earth trade centers, it said.
