The sales mix was further enhanced with the introduction of Samarium oxide, making Lynas the only commercial producer and supplier of both light and heavy rare earths outside China.
The company renewed its Malaysian operating licence for 10 years, offering stability for further investment. Lynas also announced two new agreements with Japanese partners JARE, including a 12-year NdPr supply contract at minimum pricing, and a framework to boost rare earths cooperation. In March, Lynas inked a framework agreement with LS Eco Energy for a new rare earth metal facility in Vietnam, supporting their strategy to expand the metal and magnet supply chain outside China.
