Sydney Morning Herald reported that a new rare earth refinery in Malaysia is on target to address the world’s demand for rare earths.

The concentrated ore will then be shipped to Kuantan and the rare earth metals will be separated from the radioactive material by using powerful acids at high temperatures.
