flag Lynas Rare Earths produces first samarium oxide in Malaysia, becoming the only non-Chinese supplier of key heavy rare earths.

flag Lynas Rare Earths has produced its first samarium oxide at its Malaysia plant ahead of schedule, expanding its output of heavy rare earth elements. flag The company now produces three key heavy rare earth oxides—samarium, dysprosium, and terbium—making it the only non-Chinese commercial supplier of these materials. flag The milestone strengthens global supply chains amid China’s export restrictions on critical minerals. flag Additional capacity will be phased in over two years, with future production of other heavy rare earths pending commercial agreements. flag The facility operates under a renewed 10-year license with stricter environmental rules, including a plan to end radioactive waste production within five years.
