JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – Shares in Australia-based rare earths producer Lynas surged 17% on Wednesday as the company reported that it had exceeded its production target of 3 840 t of neodymium-praseodymium (NdPr).

During the 12 months ended June 30, Lynas produced 3 911 t of NdPr.

As a result of exceeding its production targets, Lynas managed to reduce the interest rate under its Jare senior loan facility from 6.5% a year to 5.7% a year. The loan facility specified NdPr production targets for each six-month period from July 1, 2015, to December 31, 2017.
