Peter Shearing, Chief Operating Officer of Canada Rare Earth remarked, "We are very pleased to be working with Ganzhou Zhanhai Industrial and Trade Co., Ltd. to supply high quality rare earth products to our customer base. Ganzhou started production of rare earth products in 2012 and quickly established a full spectrum of capabilities for the production of high-purity rare earth products desperately required for high performance product lines, particularly electronics and magnets."

Ganzhou's high purity rare earth product portfolio includes:

• High purity single rare earth oxides (as high as 99.999% and 99.9999% for one oxide),
• Co-precipitated products such as Nd-Pr or La-Ce-Tb,
• Specialty products including micro nanometer, nanometer and large grain sizes; large and small specific surface area products; and special appearance products, and

Ganzhou's technical prowess in the rare earth industry is further evidenced and protected by patents granted and in progress.

Under Mr Zhu's leadership, Ganzhou has established a strong corporate culture based on principles of respecting and protecting the environment and sustainability. The Ganzhou focus is on excellence as a supplier through the development of leading rare earth products that support and promote a green economy.

As the global focus on sustainability has become a key corporate focus for successful industries there are now high expectations for the rare earth industry to demonstrate environmental and social stewardship.
