Project Metallurgist

Join Lynas Rare Earths as we embark on our Global expansion Journey - to help shape a new future.

The rare earth materials Lynas produces are essential inputs to future-facing technologies designed to lower carbon emissions and reduce energy consumption. This includes permanent magnet motors for technologies such as hybrid and electric vehicles, and wind turbines.

Our Rare Earths deposit in Mt Weld, Western Australia, is acknowledged as one of the highest-grade Rare Earths mine in the world. Lynas is building a Processing facility in Kalgoorlie, Western Australia to process concentrate from the Mt Weld Mine and Concentration Plant. Mt Weld concentrator is looking to expand production to ensure capacity to feed to new Kalgoorlie processing facility.

The Mt Weld concentrator expansion will initially consist of installing new equipment for the following, with further process options currently being developed.

• Comminution (mineral sizer, SAG Mill, & Bal Mill) with classification (target size P80 of 53 microns.
• Flotation (both gangue mineral pre-flotation and rare earth oxide mineral flotation).
• Ultrafine regrinding with classification (target size P80 ~10 microns).
• Concentrate leaching stage (gangue mineral removal).
• Concentrate Dewatering thickener and filtration.
• Concentrate storage and delivery.
• Recycled water treatment plant (patented technology).
