http://www.apmdc.ap.gov.in/VV%20Minerals.html IREL oif DAE sidelined.

Is it part of the USA-India nuke deal to devastate India's nuclear program envisaging use of thorium for nuclear reactors? How can DAE issue a notification (2006) of Open General License for some atomic minerals, when the 1957 Mines and Minerals Regulation Act (Act 67) has not so far been amended which lists atomic minerals?

India is a depository of a precious nuclear resource. Thorium sands have accumulated over millennia in places like Manavalakurichi (Tamil Nadu), Aluva, Chavara (Kerala), Vishakapatnam (Andhra Pradesh), Puri (Orissa) and Konkan coast (Maharashtra).

Nuclear resources carefully monitored and protected by the International Atomic Energy Agency and a multi-national Nuclear Suppliers' Group.

One such precious resource is thorium which is an atomic mineral. The demand for thorium is set to increase as agencies are work to create thorium-based nuclear power reactors. China, Norway, Canada are at work. A Canadian company has contracts for such reactors in Indonesia and Chile. Norway has started testing thorium as nuclear fuel in one of its existing reactors. China has been actively involved in developing thorium-based nuclear reactors. India started similar work in Bhabha Atomic Energy Agency's Kamini reactor in Kalpakkam.

There are credible and verifiable reports that such a vital resource which constitutes nation's wealth is getting looted. Following a report which appeared in the Statesman, titled the Great Thorium Robbery, it is heartening to note that Tamil Nadu Government has taken the first small step of ordering a special investigation on illegal mining of beach sands in the district of Tuticorin.

For an investigation of illegal mining of thorium sands, the following immediate steps are needed:

1. Govt. of India (GOI) should extend the scope of MH Shah Commission which is investigating into illegal mining of Manganese ore to cover the minerals in beach sands of India's coastline.

2. GOI should order the cancellation of existing mining licenses including licenses for ALL atomic minerals under the Mines and Mining Regulation Act 57 of 1967, cancel the 2006 illegal notification (illegally listing under Open General License some atomic minerals) and entrust the responsibility for mining ONLY to GOI undertaking under DAE, The Indian Rare Earths Limited (IREL).

3. GOI should immediately provide geiger counters to all port authorities to check on illegal exports of consignments containing minerals like monazite which is an atomic mineral and a radioactive substance.

4. GOI should order a joint Army Command to protect and conserve the rich beach sand resources containing atomic minerals to further strengthen the law-enforcement machineries of the State Governments.

5. Tamil Nadu government should extend the investigation to other coastal districts of Tamil Nadu -- Tirunelvei and Kanyakumari.

6. Govts. of Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, Orissa and Maharashtra should follow Tamil Nadu's lead and ban illegal mining activities of thorium sands.

7. Govt. of Andhra Pradesh should cancel its agreement giving a licence to a private party and ignored the role of IREL in mining atomic mineral containing beach sands of Andhra Pradesh. The responsibility should be handed back to DAE and IREL (a Public Sector Undertaking under DAE). This should be of immediate interest to GOI because of an MOU with Japan which has enabled Toyota Tsusho corporation to set up Rare Earths' separation plant in Andhra Pradesh coastline. It is important to ensure that procedures are in place to ensure that thorium reserves in monazite sands are handed over to DAE.

Japan is the world's largest importer of REE, mainly because of its major industrial base in electronics. REEs are needed for computers, laptops and televisions, in mobile telephony, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) equipment. They are also used strategic weapons such as missiles. Japan has been looking for alternative supply routes reducing dependence on China.

Rare Earth Elements include: Lanthnum, Ceriu, Praseodymium, Erbium, Gadolinium etc.
India has Indian Rare Earths Limited a public sector undertaking under DAE.

A subsidiary of Toyota Tsusho called Toyotsu Rare Earths India Pvt. Ltd. is based at Vishakapatnam, Andhra Pradesh. The company operates a monazite sand rare earth production base and is involved in separation of rare earths such as neodymium, lanthanum and cerium. It receives Monazite sand from IREL.

India has huge reserves of REEs in Odisha (Brahmagiri, Puri Dist.) in the coastal stretch of 2500 hectares.

Toyota Tsusho Changes Name of Subsidiary in Singapore and Establishes Regional Headquarters for the Asia Pacific Region

2012-04-27

Toyota Tsusho Corporation today announced that it will change the name of its subsidiary in Singapore, Toyota Tsusho (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. to Toyota Tsusho Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd., to reflect its expanded functions as the Asian Pacific regional headquarters.

1. Background

To date, Toyota Tsusho has established separate locally domiciled entities in Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Vietnam, India and Australia. However, with economic development, the links between these countries have increasingly become stronger. This has made the Asia Pacific region both, a large market and a supply base. As such, it has become necessary to build up a management infrastructure and formulate strategies that allow for efficient decision making.

2. Purpose

Through the establishment of a regional headquarters, Toyota Tsusho will be able to build an infrastructure that allows for efficient planning and implementation of regional strategies, with the goal to maximize synergies within the region and increase overall profits. In addition, the regional structure allows the company to respond more appropriately to specific multi-country needs in such Asia Pacific sub-regions as ASEAN and Mekong territories, and develop new business opportunities that go beyond a single country strategy.

3. Profile of Toyota Tsusho Asia Pacific

Company Name	Toyota Tsusho Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd.
Location (Headquarters)	Republic of Singapore
Date of Establishment	July 1, 2012 (Scheduled)
Capital	SGD2,000,000 (approximately JPY120,000,000)

Government plans to step up indigenous production of rare earth minerals

MEERA MOHANTY, ET Bureau Aug 31, 2011, 04.13am IST

NEW DELHI: India is planning to step up indigenous production of rare earth minerals, a bit of which can be found in everything high tech - from smart phones and laptops to hybrid vehicles and wind turbines.

A government panel is currently working on a strategy paper to give impetus to exploration and discovery of rare earth and energy critical elements used in renewable energy, officials from the mines ministry told ET. The paper could lead to a policy on such minerals. India does not have a policy on rare earth minerals so far.

Rare earths as their name implies are not abundant. They became even more critical after China, which meets about 97% of the world's rare earth needs, curtailed its exports in 2010 to develop its industries. It has implemented a host measures that could further reduce rare earth exports.

The committee will look into the current availability of rare earth and energy critical elements and decide the strategy for production to ensure long-term raw material security. It will also encourage the recovery of ECE which can be found as byproducts in the production of other minerals.

The committee includes mines ministry officials and representatives of scientific institutions such as Centre for Study of Science Technology and Policy, Bhaba Atomic Research Centre and Defence Research and Development Organization.

In India, rare earths are found in monosites, which is reserved for the department of atomic energy. Its mining unit, Indian Rare Earth, had stopped production of rare earths since 2004. Currently, Indian Rare Earth is setting up a processing plant in Chhatrapur in Orissa with capacity to produce 11,000 tonne rare earth chloride. The plant will be operational by early 2012.

In China, rare earths are also found in non radio-active bastnasite. In India, the exploration mandate for bastnasite lies with Geological Survey of India.

Several companies are getting into rare earth production in India, anticipating more supply shortage from China. Toyota Tsusho, a part of Toyoto Motors, is setting up a rare earth processing plant in Vishakapatnam Industrial Development Zone, with a partial supply of mixed rare earth chloride from Indian Rare Earths. German chemical company BASF and Indian Oil Corporation are also reported to have plans to produce rare earth minerals from catalysts used in petroleum refinery.

RN Patra, chairman and managing director, Indian Rare Earth, a member of the government committee, said that the policy should also incentivize aluminium and lead producers to recover ECE minerals, such as selenium, gallium, indium and germanium.

The export curb by China and rising tariffs of rare earth minerals have prompted several countries to step up initiatives to increase production. The US is rebuilding its rare earths supply chain from mines to magnets points, according to an Ernst & Young report. Even the so-called resource-poor nations such as Japan and South Korea have started sourcing the minerals through direct involvement of government entities to secure supply.
