16 German Mineral Resources Agency, DERA Sustainable and Secure Supply of Mineral Resources for Germany Targets Improve market transparency in the mineral resources sector by providing minerals information and analysis and advise companies about price and supply risks Professional backing of measures taken by the German government and companies to secure raw materials supply Services (A) Raw Materials Information and Analyses 1. Raw Material Information System 2. Risk Assessment (B) Contributions for a Sustainable and Secure Raw Materials Supply 3. Raw Material Potentials 4. Diversifying Supply Development of strategies for security of supply, network building, Raw Material Dialogues, Industry Workshops, conferences, organization of the German Raw Materials Efficiency Award

19 Oil and gas, price and supply risk: Security aspects (strategic Elipse in the Near East) 19

20 Antimony, price and supply risk: Export ban on ores and concentrates in China, export quota for antimony prod. high country concentration of mine production (China effect, 74 %) 20

21 Beryllium, price and supply risk: high company concentration of mine production (USA, 90 %) 21

22 D = Dysprosium, price and supply risk: Export quotas/trade restrictions in China high country concentration of mine production (China effect SE ~90 %) 22

23 Iron ore, price and supply risk: freight capacities (shortage during economic growth between ) high company concentration in iron ore trade (~ 75 %) small supply elasticity for special ore qualities 23

24 Fluorspar, price and supply risk: rare qualities (acid grade) high country concentration of mine production (China effect, 50 %) 24

25 Gallium, Germanium, Indium, price and supply risk: mined as a byproduct (small supply elasticity) high country concentration of mine and refinery production 25

26 Platin, Palladium, price and supply risk: increased country risk RSA / labour strikes+ turbulences (mine prod. Pt = 74 %) strategic commodity in Russia (mine production Pd = 49 %) 26

27 Tantal, price and supply risk: environmental risk due to radioactivity of concentrates (tantalum) social risks, tantalum/tin/tungsten/gold: DR Congo; Dodd Frank Act (USA) 27

28 Assessment of price and supply risks Methodology: Global concentration of supply (Herfindahl-Hirschman-Index, HHI) Rare Earths: Global concentration of mine production Russia 2010: 1,495 t SEO USA 2010: 1,483 t SEO from dumps 97 % of global production HHI = 9,520 India 2009: 2009: 35 t SEO Brazil 2010: 1,043 t Monazite 28 China 2010: 118,900 t SEO
