Committee promises fair review of Lynas rare earth plant

Lynas and US miner Molycorp Inc have had their production stalled by the challenges of running environmentally safe, complex chemical plants. ON top of that, prices of the products have, meanwhile, slumped after China's export curbs scared manufacturers who need the metals into finding ways to reduce their use.

KUANTAN: A fair review of the Lynas rare earth refinery is one that looks out for the best interest of Kuantan residents, says Lynas evaluation committee chairman Fuziah Salleh.

Lynas had nothing to worry about if it had complied with regulatory requirements, she said, adding that those requirements were consistent with the best practices of radioactive waste management that Pakatan Harapan believed in.
