Malaysia's government extended Australian miner Lynas Corp.'s license to operate a rare earth refinery for six months on Thursday but set new rules for it to tackle radioactive waste amid renewed ...
Malaysia's government said Tuesday it will allow Lynas Rare Earth to continue to import and process rare earths until March 2026, after the Australian miner proposed a new technology to extract ...
The research was inspired by last year’s discovery of an enormous deposit of rare earth elements in Kiruna in Arctic Sweden, a mining town that sits upon a huge mass of iron-ore, formed around ...
The rare-earth elements (REE), also called the rare-earth metals or rare earths, and sometimes the lanthanides or lanthanoids (although scandium and yttrium, which do not belong to this series, are usually included as rare earths), [ 1 ] are a set of 17 nearly indistinguishable lustrous silvery-white soft heavy metals.
Lynas Rare Earths Ltd. Lynas Rare Earths, Ltd. is an Australian rare-earths mining company with two major operations: a mining and concentration plant at Mount Weld in Western Australia, and the Lynas Advanced Materials Plant (LAMP) in Kuantan, Malaysia. [1] The company was founded in the 1990s and is headquartered in Perth, Western Australia.
The first stage, the mining process yields rare earth ores. More than 60% of rare earth metals (as of 2019) are mined by China and through controlled entities predominantly in Africa. [2] The second stage is the refining process where ores are separated into some pure metals and some concentrates of light rare earths or heavy rare earth metals.
Bill Johnston, Western Australia's minister for mines, will meet Hon Yeo Bee Yin, Malaysia's energy minister, in Perth on June 20, a ministry spokeswoman told Reuters.
A rare-earth mineral contains one or more rare-earth elements as major metal constituents. Rare-earth minerals are usually found in association with alkaline to peralkaline igneous complexes in pegmatites. This would be associated with alkaline magmas or with carbonatite intrusives. Perovskite mineral phases are common hosts to rare-earth ...
