• Since Japan has few domestic natural resources, Japan depends on imports for almost all of its crude oil, natural gas, non‐ferrous metals and minerals.

• Japan has high‐tech industries which utilize many types of metals; especially rare metals and REE.

• GDP of Japan is almost 6% in the world. Most of rare metals are above the percentage.

55JOGMEC, Who We Are

• Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation (JOGMEC), an incorporated administrative agency, is established by the Japanese government.

• The principal role of JOGMEC is to seek a stable supply of natural resources for Japanese industry as an agency implementing natural resource policies under jurisdiction of METI.

– Typical joint venture style exploration • Farming into an exploration project held by a foreign company, then transferring JOGMEC’s contractual interest to a Japanese company

• Target commodities– Base metals (Cu, Zn,...)– Rare metals (Ni, Co, REE, Li, ...)

2121Summary

• JOGMEC is a governmental agency seeking to stable supplies of natural resources for Japan.

• The impact of China’s growth in metal consumption affect to metal market.

• Economic tie between Japan and China is very strong, China’s economic and social change would give effect on Japan’s material industry.

• Mine development takes 10 – 15 years, we should imagine future economy/society in the world       in order to keep stable supply of metals.
