China Plans to Maintain Export Limits on Minor Metals

It was said yesterday that China are still persisting with shipping and making metals to protect and limit pollution, although the World Trade Organisation have questioned them previously.

Tungstenmolybdenum and vanadium are mineral resources that give China an advantage and are non-renewable,” Zhang Fengkui, division head of raw materials at the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said in Beijing today.

The government in china has cut the quota of 2010 on Tungsten to 14,300 metric tons which has reduced from 14,600 as well as molybdenum has remained the same at 25,500 tons.
These minor metals “play an important role in the national economy,” Zhang said at a conference.
