China is the largest molybdenum producer, accounting for about 37% of global out- put. China, the US and Chile host large molybdenum deposits and about half of global moly output is a by-product of copper mining – a share that is projected to increase. Global molybdenum demand has been on a downward trend recently as its main downstream steelmaking indus- try declines. World moly production and demand are foreseen to show moderate growth rates. rare earThs The rare earths market faces consider- able uncertainty with higher output from China causing an indefinite hold on sev- eral proposed mining projects. Indeed, some Western producers have been forced into bankruptcy including Molycorp and Great Western Minerals. Hopeful signs of late include the Chinese government cracking down on illegal rare earth min- ing by implementing a system to confirm where the materials are coming from. China scrapped its rare earth export quotas last year, maintained internal production quotas, revamped its domestic produc- tion tax and axed rare earth export tariffs which helped to bring rare earth prices down. niObiUM Niobium is an element used in steel manu- facturing to make it stronger, lighter in weight, and highly resistant to corrosion. Demand for niobium is driven by two sets of factors: the overall growth in the global economy, which directly influences the demand for steel, and the demand for aero- space super alloys, which are the largest non-steel market. Niobium's use in the tra- ditional steel industry is long-established; however, there is considerable latent demand in other countries such as China, India and Russia where the incidence of niobium use is currently far below the global average.
