PERTH (miningweekly.com) – Rare earths producer Lynas has faced down another bid to halt the progress of its advanced materials plant (Lamp) in Malaysia.

The miner this week reported that the Malaysian Federal Court had dismissed, with costs, an appeal by the Save Malaysia Stop Lynas group, which had sought a judicial review against the grant of a temporary operating licence (TOL) for the Lamp.

The appeal was launched after the Kuantan High Court dismissed the environmental group’s application to seek a judicial review for the award of the TOL.

There have been a total of three legal challenges to the TOL, the first of which was launched in February 2012, but to date, all appeals against the TOL have been dismissed in favour of Lynas.

In the three months to March, Lamp produced a record 1 089 t of rare-earth oxides, with Lynas telling shareholders that the project was on track to produce at a run rate of 11 000 t/y by the June quarter.
