New production announced from Molycorp and Lynas in recent weeks is likely to put downward pressure on prices. The economic slowdown in China, who produces 90 percent of global rare earths, has also seen an increase in supply as the country has raised export quotas for rare earth elements by 2.7 percent, the increase in nearly 5 years.

"We remain very concerned about what will happen to rare earth prices as ramping supplies from Molycorp and Lynas hit up against a rest of world demand profile that has shown little growth over the past five years," said JP Morgan analyst Michael Gambardella.

Lynas last week reported that Malaysian high court has suspended their temporary operating license until Oct. 4. "We believe the risk to the license being overturned is low, given the review process undertaken in approving the license and results of court proceedings finding in favor of Lynas to date," Macquarie said in a recent note.

Great Western Minerals Group Ltd. is an integrated rare earth processor. Its specialty alloys are used in the battery, magnet and aerospace industries.
