Rare earths miner Lynas Corporation has marked the first step of the construction of its rare earths processing plant in Kalgoorlie with the award of a $15-million contract with Metso Outotec to supply the plant’s kiln.
The 110 m-long, 1 500 t kiln is the largest and longest lead time piece of equipment required for the plant’s operation, and was an important milestone in the development of the new processing plant, said Lynas CEO and MD Amanda Lacaze.
