The Australian rare earths producer says the shutdown will commence in mid-November.
Lynas says it will shut down its operations in Gebeng, Pahang, except its mixed rare earth carbonate processing, which is expected to be minimal.
PETALING JAYA: Australian rare earths producer Lynas has announced that it plans to shut down all its operations in Malaysia, except its mixed rare earth carbonate processing plant, from mid-November. “During the shutdown, key personnel from the Malaysian cracking and leaching plant will be deployed to assist with the start-up process in Kalgoorlie, Australia,” it said in its latest quarterly report, released today.
In April, Lynas had said it planned to either temporarily shut down its Malaysian operations or have a period of very low production if licence conditions prohibiting the import and processing of lanthanide concentrate remained. On May 9, science, technology and innovation minister Chang Lih Kang said he would not change his decision to reject Lynas’ appeal to remove the four licensing conditions set by the Atomic Energy Licensing Board.
