China is now becoming both a huge consumer and a low-cost competitor in the world's metals and minerals markets.   As a consumer, China is a key factor to increase the copper price in the world market and become a saver for the copper producers; being a competitor, China has dumped magnesium at low price and force several magnesium producers in the world to close their operation.   China's impact has become a very important consideration for all players in the world's metals and minerals business.  Before we reveal a deeper understanding for China's metals and minerals business, please fill the left form to subscribe a free newsletter for China mining and mineral commodities market.  This newsletter has updated market information, tips and tricks in China metals and minerals business -- FREE ONLINE -- You can not find it in any web site and publication!
Ignoring information in China may cost you millions dollars
New York Time (March 6, 2003): "Noranda, a unit of Barscan, and its partners spent years and 733 million Canadian dollars ($496 million) to build the world's biggest magnesium smelting plant, at Danville, Quebec, and planned to have it go into commercial production around now. Instead, it is being mothballed, and Noranda has written off its 80 percent stake in the plant. Noranda says that the plant cannot be run economically now chiefly because so much magnesium, a lightweight metal used mainly in the electronics, auto and aviation industries, is pouring out of China. From hardly any production a decade ago, China has shot up to become the world's biggest exporter. According to Richard Opatick, director of the International Magnesium Association in Washington, magnesium prices have fallen by half in the last three years, as Noranda's plant was being completed".

China's Metals and Minerals Research Reports
A series of researches has been conducted in China on almost all mineral commodities, including geology, exploration, mining, ore dressing, refinery, and market.  Had studied China's magnesium situation at beginning, Noranda may reconsider its nearly US$500 million investment on magnesium smelting plant in Canada.  Except commodity by commodity studies in China, the specific and comprehensive issues on China metal market and mining industry have also been studied. To help you to avoid a strategic mistake before making investment and accessing China's metal and mineral business, we have conducted and collected a series of research reports based on the reliable published authoritative sources and through interviewing with the related government officials, company executives and engineers, and institution researchers.  Please click here to order these reports now.
China's Mineral Properties Exploration Licenses and Geological Info

Since year 2000, China has built up a database for the registered exploration license for all kinds of minerals.  By checking the database, you can find who own the exploration right and their contact information, the registered block longitude and latitude, license registration date and expired date.

Cooperated with the related authorities in China, we could provide the information for the exploration license registration in China.  This information will help you to screen the properties for your further investigation and find out who own the exploration license for your considering joint venture and exploration license transfer.  To order the information, please send us E-mail and we will guide you the ordering procedure.

During the property acquisition and exploration,  many companies found it is difficult to find the related geological information, such as geological maps, geochemical maps, and related previous geological reports.  We can provide the geological information based on your need to save your huge amount of time and money.

China's Metals and Minerals Business Directories
Some large international mining companies have set up their representative office in China for many years and have gradually built up their contacts and may find good projects or sell their products. Many small and medium size companies could not afford to set up an office in China and they usually travel to China to meet their contacts and hope to finally find the suitable projects and sell their products, services, or technologies in China.  After several tries, many companies find out that not only business traveling in China is very expensive but also many so called "contacts" are fake, who can not make any deal for them and only waste their time and money.  Is there any cheap and efficient way to find your real contacts in China's exploration and mining business communities?   You may ignore the "humble" direct regular mail contact.  You may argue that "e-mail contact is more efficient and free".  Unfortunately, we do not provide e-mail address for exploration and mining business communities in China.  These e-mail addresses are not only hard to find but also are often trouble with "Spam" problem.  The most important reason for "No e-mail" is that the direct regular mail marketing is still more efficient than e-mail marketing in China. because:
  • Most decision makers in China do not check e-mail regularly;
  • Most companies in China are eager to directly establish the relationship  with the international companies;
  • It is an easy way to get your brand recognized as most the Chinese companies read and treat international mails very seriously.

China's Mineral Exploration and Mining Standards
China has issued a series of standards to measure the quality of exploration, mineral deposits, and mines.   These standards were made mainly based on the former "Soviet Union" standards.  To access China's exploration and mining business, you should understand these standards. For example, at what line spacing are geophysical data considered "commercial" in China?  or at what distance of drilling between the two rig are considered "detail enough" for mining in China?  These standards also include a lot of details about ore grade, hydrology, ore dressing, and accessibility etc.   Please click here order these standards now.
China's Mineral and Mining Laws, Regulations, Policies
China has issued its first mineral resource law in 1986 and revised it in 1996.  Other related laws, regulations, and policies has also been issued one by one later on.  Such as "Resource Tax Regulation", "Mineral Exploration Registration Regulation", and "Mining Registration Regulation" etc.  These laws, regulations, and policies will help to avoid the mistakes at beginning and will also help you to find out who is responsible for issuing the required exploration or mining licenses in China.  Please click here to find the detail list of these laws, regulations, and policies now.
How to Sell Your Energy and Mineral Properties to China
As rapid economic development, China's energy and raw materials have experienced a short of domestic supply.   To overcome the severe shortage, China has adopted a "go out" strategy, that is, to find exploration and development properties abroad.  China has acquired the oil and gas fields in Indonesia and iron ore mines in Australia and will aggressively acquire more properties abroad for next few decades.  This is a new opportunity for the energy and mineral property owners worldwide.  To find more how to take this opportunity, please click here to find the details.
 
How to Acquire Minerals Properties in China

Since China opened the mineral exploration and mining business to foreign companies in early 1990s, some international companies have successfully acquired the high grade mineral properties in China, such as Canada-based Southwestern Resources Corp.'s Boca gold property and Australia-based Sino Gold's Jianchaling gold property; at same time, many companies are unsuccessful mainly due to fail to complete the mineral property acquisition procedure.  To avoid the mistakes experienced by the unsuccessful companies, the following correct road map is provided to you as the guideline of your mineral property acquisition in China:

  1. Find Property 

  2. Sign Letter of Intent with the Property Owner

  3. Apply for Approval of Provincial Development and Reform Committee

  4. Ask the Authorized Evaluation Firm to Evaluate the Value of the Property if It Involves the State Investment

  5. Sign Joint Venture Contract with the Property Owner

  6. Apply for Approval of JV Contract and Articles of Association by Provincial Bureau of Commerce (^COFTEC ̄)

  7. Apply for Business License from Provincial Administration of Industry and Commerce (^SAIC ̄) 

The procedure looks simple, but each step involves a lot of hard works. Except the complicate paper works in each step, the lobby to the provincial government is the most important task.  Although some companies acquired a good property, but they finally gave up just because of some minor wrong approaches.  You should be very careful for each step.  For example, some companies rushed to sign the joint venture contract before asking the Authorized Evaluation Firm to do a pre-evaluation for the property.  As a result, the evaluated value of the property is much higher than the signed value in the contract.  This small mistake may result in total failure for a company's exploration venture in China, especially for the foreign junior mining companies.
