Lynas Rare Earths is set to build a new heavy rare earth (HRE) separation facility in Malaysia to meet the growing demand for a dependable source of HRE oxides outside of China.
The facility is projected to have the capacity to process up to 5,000 tonnes per annum (tpa) of HRE feedstock and will leverage Lynas’ ability to produce HRE oxides on a commercial scale.
The feedstock for the new facility will be obtained from Lynas’ high-grade Mt Weld rare earths deposit and potentially from ionic clay rare earth deposits in Malaysia.
The gold standard of business intelligence.
