About Lynas Rare Earths Limited

Overview

Lynas Rare Earths Limited is an Australian rare earths company and the only significant rare earth producer outside of China. The company operates an integrated supply chain from mine to separated rare earth products, with mining in Western Australia and processing in Malaysia. Lynas is a critical supplier of rare earths for defense, technology, and clean energy applications globally.

Operations

Lynas operates the Mount Weld mine in Western Australia, one of the world's highest-grade rare earth deposits, and the Lynas Advanced Materials Plant (LAMP) in Kuantan, Malaysia, where rare earth concentrate is processed into separated rare earth oxides. The company produces NdPr (neodymium-praseodymium) and other separated rare earths for customers globally, with production capacity of approximately 10,500 tonnes NdPr per annum.

Strategy

The company's strategy emphasizes expanding production capacity to meet growing demand for rare earths in permanent magnets, establishing additional processing facilities outside Malaysia to diversify and derisk operations, securing long-term customer agreements with Western OEMs, maintaining the only proven alternative to Chinese rare earth supply at scale, and pursuing downstream integration into rare earth magnets. Lynas benefits from government support in Australia and the US.

Key Projects

Major projects include the Kalgoorlie Rare Earths Processing Facility in Western Australia for cracking and leaching (under construction with Australian government funding), the Lynas US Heavy Rare Earths processing facility in Texas (under development with US Department of Defense funding), LAMP expansion in Malaysia to increase capacity, and the Mount Weld expansion to increase mining capacity. Lynas is building a geographically diversified processing footprint.
