Lynas targets PDF by 2021

Rare earths miner Lynas on Wednesday said that it was hoping to start the development of its permanent deposit facility (PDF), in Malaysia, by early 2021.

The company has welcomed comments from the Malaysian government that the Atomic Energy Licensing Board had approved the proposed site for the PDF for water leach purification (WLP) residue, subject to the completion of relevant studies and final regulatory approvals.
