Rare earths miner Lynas on Monday restarted operations in Malaysia, after the government announced that nearly all economic sectors, including manufacturing, would be allowed to resume operations, as measures to prevent the spread of Covid-19 is relaxed.

The company told shareholders that the plant would be restarted at approximately 70% of the NEXT production rates, enabling Lynas to refill supply chains and to restock depleted inventories of critical materials, while maintaining new health and hygiene protocols at each site.
