This is the "Crude Oil" in the 21st Century

 The term rare earth metals re-surfaced recently, after the three major powers of the world economy, namely the U.S., Japan and the EU jointly sued China into the World Trade Organization (WTO). They accuse China's decision to limit exports of rare earth metals technology aimed at protecting domestic industries, and is a form of unfair competition.
Not just this time China alarmed the world with Rare Earth. In one of the worst diplomatic crisis between China and Japan after World War II in 2010, China issued a trump card as well shocking the world awaken.
Country's second largest economic power in the world that it holds the key to the future of the world, which is a rare mineral called rare earths or rare earth metals (Rare Earth).
China controls 97 percent of the market Rare Earth, the mineral needed to make various objects in the world of high tech. Japan, known as the manufacturer of sophisticated objects, nearly 100 percent dependent on supplies from China Rare Earth.
In turn, the United States, which relies on the supply of technology components from Japan, also became dependent on China. In fact, among the objects that require a variety of minerals that are vital military equipment, ranging from sonar ships, tank gunnery sight, until the tracking device on the target missile.
According to an article in the magazine The Economist September 17th issue of 2010, the success of the China Rare Earth market master of the world is the fruit of a visionary policy of the former communist country's leader, Deng Xiaoping. More than 30 years ago, in the decade of the 1960s, Deng said that if the Middle Eastern countries have oil, China has the Rare Earth.
A rare mineral that is forecast to be the "oil" of the 21st century because of its importance for the industrial world. Forecast that starts proved correct.
In 2009, Rare Earth world market demand reached 134 000 tonnes, while the new production capacity 124 000 tonnes. In 2012, the world needs is expected to reach 180,000 tonnes.
China alone, the demand for its domestic industry is also higher, have started to reduce its export quota Rare Earth. Last year China has cut export quota of 50,000 tons to only 30,000 tons. Last July, the Chinese government again slashed its export quotas, a move that had protested the Japanese.
Looking for an alternative
The imbalance of supply and demand, as well as the difficulty of the separation process of Rare Earth mineral elements containing radioactive parent, such as uranium and thorium, making the price of these minerals are very expensive. On page Rare Earth supply companies from Australia, Arafura Resources (www.arafuraresources.com.au), the price of one europium oxide-oxide Rare Earth, this month reached 3410 U.S. dollars (USD 31.3 million) per kilogram.
Some countries and multinational corporations that depend on the supply of Rare Earth is now abuzz looking for alternative sources to avoid dependence on China. Prime Minister of Japan at that time, Naoto Kan, and PM Batbold Sukhbaatar Mongolia two years ago agreed to develop cooperation Rare Earth Mining in Mongolia.
Toyota Motor Corp., which require Rare Earth to make the hybrid car Toyota Prius, even decides to find their own sources of Rare Earth in order to maintain continuity of supply.
Through its subsidiaries, Toyota Tsusho Corp., Toyota is exploring cooperation with Vietnam, India, and Indonesia to mine and process its own Rare Earth. "Dependence on a single country many risks," said a spokesman for Toyota Motor Corp. Morimasa Konishi told the Associated Press two years ago.
Toshiba and Sumitomo also formed a partnership joint venture to open the Rare Earth mine in Kazakhstan in 2009. Other Japanese companies formed a partnership with Lynas Corp from Australia to get a supply of Mount Weld Rare Earth than mine, Australia.
South Korea, which has a high-tech companies, like Samsung and LG, also began thinking about the sustainability of its supply of Rare Earth. South Korean government plans to budget funds amounting to 17 billion won (Rp135, 4 billion) to secure reserves to 1200 metric tons of Rare Earth in 2016.
While in the U.S., Congress held a special session to extend the mining license in Mount Rare Earth Pass, California, that the mine could be operated to meet U.S. domestic needs.
However, the reactivation of Rare Earth mining and refining process is not easy. So for a while, the world still have to rely on supplies from China Rare Earth.
Accumulated in warehouses
In an interview with Reuters at the time, Head of Geological Agency R Sukhyar said, Indonesia actually has a stock of mineral containing Rare Earth that has been mined, namely in the area of ​​tin mining in Bangka-Belitung (Babel).
During this time, the minerals it becomes a byproduct (slag) processing ore by the tin mines in the islands, including by PT Timah. "Tin derived from granitic host rock. So every tin mines, must contain Rare Earth minerals are also present," said Sukhyar.
In an audit the State Audit of PT Timah and PT Koba Tin, two mining companies operating in Babylon, Rare Earth known to contain mineral reserves are very large. PT Timah, for example, according to data from 2006 has a 408 877 tonne stock of monazite (containing 50-78 percent of rare earth oxides or rare earths oxides / REO), 57 488 tonnes of xenotime (REO contain 54-65 percent), and 309 882 zircon (containing ittrium and cerium) .
While PT Koba Tin to September 2007 have a stock of 174 533 tons of monazite. Geological data show, Babylon Islands region that has been explored demonstrating the potential resources of monazite 10526.8 tons.
Minerals as much as it had only kept in storage companies. Because of its containing radioactive elements uranium and thorium, mineral stock is not processed further, since it must involve the institutions monitoring of radioactive substances, such as the Agency for Nuclear Energy (Bapeten) and the IAEA.
In addition, because the government has not set a target of Rare Earth exploration, the entire stock of minerals containing Rare Earth is left in place. Sukhyar said there is a risk of potential mineral stocks were smuggled out by people who understand the true value of this mineral.
Smuggling mineral mining byproduct is not impossible. CPC smuggling attempt ever recorded mineral ilmenite, which contains uranium and thorium, of Central Bangka regency on 24 November 2007.
Furthermore, because the government did not see the potential of Rare Earth, the continued exploration activities to find out how real metal reserves are owned by Indonesia also has not been done. What else was discussed Rare Earth purification technology on an industrial scale. "Until now there has been no survey of the mining economy of this Rare Earth," said Sukhyar.
On the official website, (http://www.toyota-tsusho.com/english/csr/business/case01.html), Toyota Tsusho Corp. said it will build a purification plant on the island of Bangka Rare Earth, by processing the residual slag processing of tin ore. The company expects to extract neodymium and dysprosium, which is essential for making the Toyota Prius.
Although difficult and requires mastery of specific technology, the processing plant for industrial scale in Indonesia is not the impossible. Triharyo Soesilo, former President Director of Industrial Engineering, SOE engaged in the design and engineering of industrial facilities, say, in principle, there must be companies in the world who holds this license Rare Earth separation plant.
"If we get that license, then we can surely build a factory," said Triharyo, graduated in Chemical Engineering ITB, which has now become one of Pertamina's Board of Commissioners.
Now, living back in the intention and vision of the leaders of the Indonesian government. Whether to participate in the arena a future world, or want to be complacent in the "comfort zone" as the followers and consumers.
If China can have a vision 30 years into the future, why not?

 Jack Froese died suddenly of cardiac arrhythmia (heart rhythm disorders), June 2011, at the age of 32 years. That certainly cause grief for friends and family.
But five months after his death, a number of close persons begin receiving mysterious e-mail from e-mail account Frose mentioning their private conversations with him before he died. The family man from Pennsylvania, U.S., said they did not know his account password, and they did not believe his account had been hijacked.
One e-mail recipient is her childhood friend, Tim Hart of Dunbar, who say they are "inseparable" for 17 years until his death. "He's right hand and my best friend," said Hart told the BBC.
 Hart was stunned when he received an e-mail from a friend a few months after his death. "One night in November, I was sitting on the sofa, opened the e-mail on my phone, and it (e-mail) appears," Author: Jack Froese. "I was so pale when she read it," he told the BBC. "E-mail was very brief and short, but straight to Jack and the only thing I know about it."
In the message subject line terulis the words, "I was watching". Further written, "Do you hear me? I was at your house. Clean the attic!"
Hart said, shortly before the death of Froese, they were chatting in the attic of his house. At that time, his friends teased him for the mess and dust the attic. "Just him and me up there," said Hart.
Froese's cousin, Jimmy McGraw, also said that he received e-mails of the deceased which touched on his ankle injury that occurred after Frose died. E-mail that reads, "Hey Jim, how are you? I know you have a broken ankle. Just to warn you. Must be careful."
McGraw said he had suffered a broken ankle last week before he received the e-mail was on 21 November evening. "I prefer to say, he who sent it, only because I knew he was dead, but he's still trying to get in touch with me," he said. "(He) tried to tell me go ahead, and feel better."
E-mail It also includes another message for a friend who, according to "Jack", he failed to send.
Sources of e-mail remains a mystery to Froese family and some friends who say that they "receive the messages as a gift". Hart says, "If there are people who judge a joke, I do not care because I get whatever I want. Hart has replied to the e-mail, but not yet received a reply."
Those who receive e-mail that says no plans to investigate the source because they prefer to see the messages as a blessing from Froese rather than as part of some kind of joke.
Froese mother, Patty, told the BBC: "I think it's fantastic messages. Messages that make some people happy, some people angry, but to me, it makes people talk about him."
According to Mail Online, now there are a number of services that promise to send e-mail, e-mail to several friends and relatives of the man who later died. That could explain the strange phenomenon. However, specificity appears in a received message McGraw, who refers to events that occurred after the death of the sender, may be able to rule out this explanation.

Under Moroccan law, a rape is punishable by five to 10 years in prison or 10 to 20 years if victim under age. Punishment was also followed by a fine of 200 to 500 dirhams.
