Lynas Corporation Limited
(ASX:LYC) says its Malaysian refinery is poised to deliver rare-earths products ready for sale within weeks.
In a statement to the market, the Australian producer also said it expects to boost its output to full capacity over the next three months.
Lynas says it has reached a new milestone with successful commissioning of the cracking and leaching units used to extract rare earths from concentrate material from its Mount Weld deposit in Western Australia.
The Australian producer continues to face legal battles in Malaysia, where protests have erupted over potential environmental damage from the plant.
Lynas Corporation booked a net loss of $87.8 million in the 2012 financial year.
