Rare Earth Processing Equipment In Australia
China rare earths outlook for 2021
The market expects that China's rare earth exports may be further reduced, and that global supply may shrink further and become even more tight. Other countries, such as the US, Australia and Russia are scrambling to open new mines, but even after finding new sources, China is far advanced in rare earth processing.
Lynas Selects Kalgoorlie for Rare Earths Processing Plant
The city provides close proximity to Lynas's rare earths mine at Mt Weld, as well as a skilled workforce and a rich history in the mining and processing industries. Lynas produces rare earths concentrate at the Mt Weld mine and flotation concentrator 30 kilometers south of Laverton, Western Australia.
The Geopolitics of Rare Earth Elements
The rare earth elements are already critical to the U.S. defense sector, but rare earth mining, processing and fabrication capabilities will even more strongly influence geopolitical dynamics in the coming years as the world undergoes its nascent energy transition and transportation evolution.In the near term, China will benefit from its near-monopoly, but ultimately its own
China Ramps Up Rare Earth Production to Keep Its Global
Nov 25, 2019The U.S. was a world leader in rare earth production from the 1960s until the mid-1990s when the sector faced tough new regulations that led to mines shutting down and China flooding the international marketplace with its products. Pini Althaus, CEO of USA Rare Earth, said in the South China Morning Post report:
Lynas to open rare earth minerals processing plant in

Explained: What are Rare Earths, and why is US military
Dec 12, 2019In China, the mining of Rare Earths began in the 1950s, but it remained a cottage industry until the 1970s, when the chemist Xu Guangxian found a way to separate the Rare Earth elements. According to the Australian Strategic Policy Institute, after the Cultural Revolution in China ended, the country focussed on exploiting its natural resources.
Mt Weld, Western Australia
Mt Weld also hosts the undeveloped Duncan (rare earth), Crown (niobium, tantalum, titanium, rare earths, zirconium) and Swan (phosphate) deposits. Lynas processes the CLD ore at the Mt Weld Concentration Plant to produce a rare earth concentrate that is sent for further processing at Lynas Malaysia's Advanced Material Plant near Kuantan
Viewpoint: China Solidifies Dominance in Rare Earth Processing
Mar 21, 2019Hundreds of rare earth mining projects outside of China have been initiated, giving the erroneous impression that Western rare earth dependence on China may be declining. However, most ultimately fail. Out of more than 400 rare earth startups publicly listed in 2012, less than five reached production. Of those, only two reached significant volumes.
DOD makes rare earth award
The Hondo, Texas facility will complement Lynas' existing Australian and Malaysian operations and is expected to be co-located with the proposed heavy rare earths separation facility, DOD said. The Pentagon has identified the mining and processing of rare earth elements as a critical area where the U.S. defense industrial base is overly
The rare earth challenge
The interest in the rare earths industry remains high despite its difficulties and a crowded field of potential starters. As companies in the rare earth business, and CSIRO, develop their understanding of processing rare earth ores, Australia could become a world-class supplier of rare earth elements.
Australia to Control the Global Rare Earths Supply?
Nov 27, 2020Meaning that processing of rare earth elements changes almost every single time. So, the price for every single rare earth used is unique to that one contract only. Furthermore, this tells us that it's not the mining of rare earths that's the problem rather the processing of them .
Rare earth stocks on the ASX: The Ultimate Guide
Sep 11, 2019According to Geoscience Australia, uses range from routine technologies such as lighter flints, glass polishing mediums and car alternators, to high-end technology like lasers, magnets, batteries or fibre-optic telecommunication cables. Rare earth elements are used throughout modern vehicles.
Extracting the truth about rare earths
Aug 01, 2019The complex and sometimes dangerous processing of rare earth materials is one challenge. Another is the non-transparent nature of the industry. "It's not about digging a big hole, pulling out a heap of coal and sticking it on a boat," says John Purcell, FCPA CPA Australia's policy adviser, environmental, social and governance.

Trump declares rare earth emergency, Australia gets ready
Oct 02, 2020The only other Australian company with a foot in the US rare earths door is American Rare Earths (ASX: ARR) with its La Paz project in Arizona. Last month, this company reported on trench sampling that had struck rare earths, including scandium, with the company now planning follow-up drilling.

Investing in Australia's Super Power: Rare Earths and Mining
Nov 26, 2020Japan has been instrumental in funding many parts of Australia's rare earth market. The 2010 crisis for Japan triggered a wave of investment into alternative sourcesand was behind large amounts of funding to get the Lynas Corporation-owned, Mount Weld — a rare earths processing facility in Western Australian — off the ground.
Malaysia backs Australia's Lynas to build rare earth
It also demands that Australia's 5.6 billion yuan rare earth processing plants be approved. The project is seen as key to preventing bottlenecks in global supplies of rare earths. If Australia doesn't give it the green light, China has said it is is ready to increase its on production levels by 10%, QQ reported.
