Gary Goldberg, RioTinto Minerals' chief executive officer, will give an overview of the industrials minerals market, including looking at supply & demand and the impact of the global economic crisis. Rio Tinto announced, in its annual financial results, that minerals production and sales were affected by lower demand and feeling the effects of the reduced economic activity.
Mark Smith, Molycorp Minerals' chief executive officer, will talk about rare earths production and supply from outside China followed by Judith Chegwidden, Roskill Information Services Ltd's Managing Director, who will discuss the future of rare earths. Rare earth prices in China, producer for about 95% of the world's rare earth output, continue to rise due to shortage of supply and rise of demand. Exports quotas have been reduced in the last three years in order to make sure they can satisfy their domestic needs.
