Bill Johnston, Western Australia’s minister for mines, will meet Hon Yeo Bee Yin, Malaysia’s energy minister, in Perth on June 20, a ministry spokeswoman told Reuters. The global spotlight has fallen on rare earths in recent weeks after state media in China suggested that the country could halt exports of the minerals critical to U.S. defence and other industries. China produces upwards of 85 percent of the strategic metals.
However, Malaysia’s energy ministry wants to discuss ways to manage the radioactive waste from Lynas Corp’s rare earth processing plant in Malaysia, including its removal, a ministry spokeswoman told Reuters last week.
