Ngokusho kukaShi Ying, iwebhusayithi yezindaba yase-US, uchungechunge lokuhlinzekwa komhlaba ongavamile e-United States naseYurophu lungase luphazanyiswe unswinyo olubhekiswe eRussia, okwenza kube nzima kakhulu ngeYurophu ukuthi izame ukuqeda ukuthembela kwayo eChina kulokhu. izinto zokusetshenziswa ezibalulekile.
Ngonyaka odlule, izinkampani ezimbili zaseNyakatho Melika zaqala umsebenzi. Okokuqala, e-Utah, eU.SA, umkhiqizo wezimayini obizwa ngokuthi i-monazite wacutshungulwa waba yi-carbonate yomhlaba engavamile exubile. Khona-ke, le mikhiqizo yomhlaba eyivelakancane ithuthelwa emafektri e-Estonia, ihlukaniswe izingxenye zomhlaba eziyivelakancane, bese ithengiswe ezinkampanini ezingaphansi komfula ukuze kukhiqizwe omazibuthe basemhlabeni abangavamile kanye neminye imikhiqizo.Ozibuthe abavamile bomhlaba abangavamile bangasetshenziswa emikhiqizweni yobuchwepheshe obuphezulu. njengezimoto zikagesi nezinjini zomoya.
I-Silmet, imboni yokucubungula umhlaba eyivelakancane, itholakala edolobheni elingasogwini lolwandle iSiramaire, e-Estonia. Isebenza yi-Neo Company (igama eligcwele i-Neo Performance Materials) esohlwini lwase-Canada futhi iwukuphela kwesitshalo sokuhweba salolu hlobo e-Europe. Kodwa-ke, ngokukaNeo, nakuba u-Silmet ethenga izinto zomhlaba ezixubile eziyivelakancane kwa-Energy Fuels, ikomkhulu lakhe e-United States, u-70% wezinto ezingandile zomhlaba ezidingekayo ukuze zicutshungulwe zivela enkampanini yaseRussia.
UKonstantin karajan Nopoulos, oyi-CEO ye-Neo, uthe ocingweni lwenkomfa yemali engenayo ngasekuqaleni kwale nyanga: "Ngeshwa, ngesimo sempi yase-Ukraine kanye nokwethulwa kwezijeziso ngokumelene neRussia, abahlinzeki baseRussia babhekene nokungaqiniseki."
Nakuba umphakeli wayo i-Solikamsk Magnesium Works, inkampani yaseRussia ye-magnesium, engakagunyazwa amazwe aseNtshonalanga, uma ngempela egunyazwe yi-United States ne-Europe, ikhono lenkampani yaseRussia lokuhlinzeka ngezinto ezingavamile zomhlaba kuNeo lizokhawulelwa.
Ngokukakarajan Nopoulos, uNeo njengamanje usebenzisana nefemu yabameli emhlabeni wonke enobuchwepheshe bezinhlawulo. U-Neo futhi unengxoxo "nabakhiqizi abasafufusa abayisithupha" emhlabeni jikelele ukuze bafunde ukuthi bangahlukanisa kanjani imithombo yezinto ezisetshenziswayo zomhlaba ezingavamile. Nakuba I-American Energy Fuels Company ingakhuphula ukunikezwa kwayo ku-Neo Company, Kodwa kuncike emandleni ayo okuthola i-monazite eyengeziwe.
“Kodwa-ke, iNeo nayo inezindawo ezingavamile zokuhlukanisa umhlaba eShayina, ngakho ukuncika kwayo ku-Silmet akuyona into engathi sína kakhulu,” kuphawula uThomas Krumme, umqondisi wenkampani yaseSingapore egxile ekuphathweni kokuhlinzekwa komhlaba okungavamile.
Kodwa-ke, ngenxa yezinhlawulo ezibekwe eRussia ngamazwe amaningi ase-Europe naseMelika, ukuphazamiseka kwesikhathi eside kwe-supply chain yefekthri ye-Neo's Silmet kuzoba nokusabela kweketanga kulo lonke elaseYurophu.
UDavid merriman, umqondisi wocwaningo wakwaWood Mackenzie, umxhumanisi wezamabhizinisi, waphawula: “Uma ukukhiqizwa kukaNeo kuphazanyiswa ukushoda kwezinto zokusetshenziswa isikhathi eside, abathengi baseYurophu’ abathenga imikhiqizo yomhlaba engavamile kule nkampani ingase babheke eChina. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi ngaphandle kweChina, zimbalwa izinkampani ezingangena esikhundleni sikaNeo, ikakhulukazi uma kubhekwa ukuthi kunemikhiqizo etholakalayo ukuze ithengwe.
Kuvezwa ukuthi ngokombiko we-European Commission ngo-2020, ama-98% kuya ku-99% omhlaba ongavamile eYurophu avela eChina. Yize ibala ingxenye encane kuphela, iRussia iphinde inikeze umhlaba ongajwayelekile eYurophu, futhi ukuphazamiseka okubangelwa unswinyo olubhekiswe eRussia kuzophoqa imakethe yaseYurophu ukuthi iphendukele eChina.
U-Nabil Mancieri, unobhala-jikelele we-Rare Earth Industry Association e-Brussels-based based Brussels, uphinde wathi: "IYurophu incike eRussia ngezinto eziningi (ezingavamile zomhlaba), kuhlanganise nezinto ezihlanjululwe. Isikhathi siseChina kuphela."
