Lynas not closing down, just no cracking and leaching after Dec 31


KUALA LUMPUR: The government is not shutting down Lynas Malaysia Sdn Bhd's operations but the company will not be allowed to carry out any more "cracking and leaching" (C&L) activities after Dec 31, says Chang Lih Kang.

The Science, Technology and Innovation Minister said the decision to extend the period of the factory to carry out C&L activities for another six months is to avoid affecting the supply chain of rare earth at the global level.
