Grant Activity:
Lynas Rare Earths Apatite Leach Circuit
Purpose:
Lynas Rare Earths Limited is a producer of Rare Earth materials and is the worlds only significant producer of these materials outside of Asia. Lynas currently processes a high-grade ore zone called CZLI. A significant proportion of the remaining resources at Mt. Weld are from an ore zone rich in unwanted apatite. Lynas has developed a two-circuit process for the removal of this apatite. This project will be conducted in partnership with the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) and Mt Weld Mining Pty Ltd, is the implementation of the second circuit, called the Apatite Leach Circuit, at Mt. Weld in Laverton, WA. By removing the apatite, this circuit 2 (in combination with other process stages) will unlock additional Rare Earth reserves in the Mount Weld ore body.
