It is estimated that China holds about 30 per cent of the world's
rare earth deposits, but accounts for over 95 percent of global
production. Demand for the metals is expected to surge going
forward, as the elements are an integral part of modern technology.
With China cutting rare earth quotas, and imposing heavier taxes,
consensus is that North American rare earth explorers stand to
benefit. The Bedford Report examines the Rare Earth Elements
Industry and provides research reports on Rare Element Resources,
Inc. (NYSE Amex: REE) and Qiao Xing Universal Resources, Inc.
(NASDAQ: XING). Access to the full company reports can be found at:

China's Land and Resource ministry recently announced that it
would not approve any new prospecting or production licenses for
rare earths, tungsten or antimony until June 30, 2012. China has
begun to impose more discipline on its rare earths industry with a
series of policies aimed at cleaning up the sector. The country has
already cut export quotas by 35 percent for the first half of
2011.
Chinese officials have explained that such high levels of rare
earth production are not environmentally sustainable, and that
China needed to retain supplies for domestic industries.

North American and Australian companies are making efforts to
begin producing rare earths as there are currently no separation
facilities for the all-important "heavy" rare earths outside of
China.
Canada-based, Rare Element Resources has a 100% interest in the
Bear Lodge property located in northeast Wyoming. A recent economic
