[H5] Lynas Rare Earths was established as an ethical and environmentally responsible producer of rare earth materials and is the world’s only significant producer of separated rare earth materials outside of China.

[H5] The Lynas Mt Weld mine in Western Australia is acknowledged as one of the world’s premier rare earths deposits. Lynas also operates the world’s largest single rare earths processing plant in Malaysia where it produces high-quality separated rare earth materials for export to manufacturing markets in Asia, Europe and the United States.

Lynas’ rare earth materials are used in many high tech and future facing applications, including electronics, wind turbines and hybrid and electric vehicles. Lynas offers its customers rare earth products with assured provenance from mine to finished product.
Rare earth oxides are mined and initially processed at our Mt Weld Concentration Plant.
The materials are then shipped to our 100-hectare advanced materials plant in Gebeng, Malaysia, where the concentrate is separated and processed into high quality Rare Earth materials.
As part of our Lynas 2025 growth strategy, we are expanding our industrial footprint with a planned Rare Earths Processing Facility in Kalgoorlie, Western Australia. Read more here.
[H4] Our high quality products include
Neodymium and Praseodymium (NdPr) used in magnets
Lanthanum (La)
Cerium (Ce) and
Mixed Heavy Rare Earths (SEG).

[H1] About Lynas Rare Earths
Lynas Rare Earths Limited is an Australian publicly listed company headquartered in Perth, Western Australia. The world’s only significant producer of separated rare earth materials outside of China, Lynas was established an ethical and environmentally responsible producer of rare earth materials for global manufacturing supply chains in east Asia, Europe and North America.Lynas offers assured provenance from mine to finished rare earth materials through our integrated and secure supply chain. This starts at our high grade Mt Weld mine in Western Australia, acknowledged as one of the world’s premier rare earths deposits. Concentrate sourced from Mt Weld is then processed at our Rare Earths Processing Facility in Kalgoorlie, Western Australia, and the Lynas Malaysia advanced materials plant in Kuantan, Malaysia.  Rare earth materials are known as the ‘’vitamins’’ of manufacturing due to their special properties – magnetic, electrical, optical and catalytic. Lynas’ rare earth materials are used in many high tech and future facing applications, including electronics, wind turbines and hybrid and electric vehicles.

[H1] Our Products
Rare Earths are critical inputs to global megatrends that will shape economies and consumer behaviour over the next decade. These trends include sustainable mobility, automation and renewable energy.
Our products are used in many high tech and future facing applications, from smart phones to cars, electrical appliances, and green technologies such as hybrid and electric vehicles and wind turbines. As an integrated rare earths producer, we offer our customers rare earth products with assured provenance from mine to finished product.

[H4] Did You Know – rare earths help reduce the weight of our cars
Modern cars include a growing number of electrical motors, including for seat adjustment, wipers, side mirrors, roof movements, ABS brake pumps, EPS (Electronic Power Steering) replacing traditional hydraulic systems, air conditioning compressors, cooling water pumps, and oil pumps – a total that varies between 20 and 50 small electrical motors.
NdFeB permanent DC motors allow substantial weight reductions, thus supporting better energy efficiency for the car.

[H3] Summary of our Rare Earth products and their key attributes
[H4] Light Rare Earths:
Lanthanum or La (57) – is a silver-white metal that is one of the most reactive rare earth elements. It is used in the manufacture of specialised optical glasses including infrared absorbing glass as well as camera and telescope lenses. It can also be used to help make steel more malleable. Other applications for lanthanum include wastewater treatment and petroleum refining.

Cerium or Ce (58) – is a silvery-white metal that easily oxidises in the air. It is the most abundant rare earth elements and has many uses including as a catalyst in catalytic converters in automotive exhaust systems to reduce emissions. It is also a key component for precision glass polishing. Cerium can also be used in iron, magnesium and aluminium alloys, magnets, certain types of electrodes, and carbon-arc lighting.

Praseodymium or Pr (59) – this soft, silvery metal was first used to create a yellow-orange stain for ceramics. Although it is still used to colour certain types of glasses and gemstones, praseodymium is primarily used in rare earth magnets. It can also be found in applications as diverse as creating high-strength metals found in aircraft engines and flint for starting fires.

Neodymium or Nd (60) – is a soft, silvery metal, neodymium that is used with praseodymium to create some of the strongest permanent magnets available in the world today. These magnets are found in most modern vehicles and aircraft as well as popular consumer electronics such as headphones, microphones, and computer discs. Neodymium is also used to make high-powered, infrared lasers for industrial and defence applications.

[H4] Heavy Rare Earths:
Samarium or Sm (62) – is a silvery metal that can be used in several vital ways including in very powerful magnets for transportation, defence, and commercial technologies. In conjunction with other compounds, it can also be used for intravenous radiation treatments to kill cancer cells. It is also used to help treat lung, prostate, breast, and some forms of bone cancer. Because it is a stable neutron absorber, samarium is also used to control the rods of nuclear reactors.

Europium or Eu (63) – is a hard metal used to create visible light in compact fluorescent bulbs and colour displays such as in LCD televisions. It is also used to make the special phosphors marks on the Euro notes to help prevent counterfeiting.

Gadolinium or Gd (64) – has particular properties that make it especially suitable for shielding in nuclear reactors and neutron radiography. It is also used to help target tumours in neuron therapy as well as enhance magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). X-rays and bone density tests also use gadolinium, making this rare earth element a major contributor to modern health care solutions.

Terbium or Tb (65) – is a silvery rare earth metal that is so soft it can be cut with a knife. Terbium is often used in compact fluorescent lighting, colour displays, and as an additive to permanent rare earth magnets so they can function better under higher temperatures. It can also be found in fuel cells designed to operate at elevated temperatures and some electronic devices as well as naval sonar systems. Terbium in its alloy form has the highest magnetostriction of any such substance. Because of its magnetisation, in its alloy form it is easy to change its shape, making it vital component of Terfenol-D which is used in many defence and commercial technologies.

Dysprosium or Dy (66) – is a soft, silver metal with one of the highest magnetic strengths of all of the rare earths, matched only by holmium. Dysprosium is often added to permanent rare earth magnets to help them operate more efficiently at higher temperatures. Lasers and commercial lighting use dysprosium as do hard computer disks and other electronics which require certain magnetic properties. Dysprosium can also be used in nuclear reactors and modern, energy-efficient vehicles.

[H4] SEGH:
Lynas produces a mixed Heavy Rare Earth compound, known as SEGH. SEGH is a mixed Heavy Rare Earth compound containing mixed Samarium, Europium, Gadolinium, Holmium, Dysprosium and Terbium. Currently, this compound is sold to customers who then further process the compound into separated heavy rare earth materials.
