Lynas Rare Earths is preparing a month-long shutdown at its Malaysian processing plant in the quarter ending December, while management expects stockpiles to support customer deliveries. The development was reported by The Edge Malaysia on Tuesday, November 10, based on the company's quarterly report released on October 29.

The maintenance covers electrical inspections and work on the plant's kilns. Production at the Kuantan facility is expected to be lower in the December quarter than in the preceding September quarter, but acting chief executive Pol Le Roux said stockpiles should allow Lynas to continue fulfilling orders.

September Output Recovered

The planned pause follows a stronger operating quarter. NdPr production rose to 2,082 tonnes in the September quarter from 1,857 tonnes in the June quarter as operations recovered from earlier processing challenges. Total rare earth oxide production increased to 4,254 tonnes from 3,481 tonnes.

The figures underline the trade-off for investors: higher recent output supports customer supply, while scheduled maintenance will test how effectively Lynas can manage inventory and deliveries. The company is also progressing with an expanded Malaysian facility for heavy rare earth processing, including buildings for solvent extraction, electrical controls and the control room.

Lynas stock traded at 8.22 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 20:21 CET on Tuesday, November 10.
