Lynas Rare Earths, Ltd. is an Australian rare-earths mining company with two major operations: a mining and concentration plant at Mount Weld in Western Australia, and the Lynas Advanced Materials Plant (LAMP) in Kuantan, Malaysia.[1] The company was founded in the 1990s and is headquartered in Perth, Western Australia.
The LAMP is the only major rare-earth processing plant outside of China. The project produces radioactive waste, and has met with resistance from local communities.[2][3]
Lynas is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange as a S&P/ASX 200 company.[4]
