PETALING JAYA (Aug 5): Australian rare earths miner Lynas Corp is eyeing to construct a waste treatment facility in Malaysia in early 2021, reported Reuters.
The report said the company will apply for final regulatory approvals in the coming months.
During the Parliament session on Tuesday, Malaysia science, technology and innovation minister Khairy Jamaluddin said Lynas can build the facility in a waste disposal site identified by the Pahang state government.
Identifying a location for the permanent disposal facility (PDF) was part of the requirements set by the Malaysian government when it renewed Lynas's licence to operate in the country last year, according to the report.
"This progress on the PDF will provide further certainty for the over 650 direct employees and the thousands of indirect employees of the Lynas Malaysia plant," the company said in a statement.
