  A legal clash over Lynas Rare Earths' Malaysian refinery is afoot after the Perth-based miner failed to stamp out an activist's appeal request.

The Malaysian government has scheduled an appeal hearing for September 21, 2023, to challenge a court decision that allowed Lynas Rare Earths to continue operating its waste disposal facility in Gebeng, Pahang. The Court of Appeal will hear the case, following a High Court ruling in February that overturned a government directive to close the facility by July 2023. The dispute centers on the storage of Water Leach Purification (WLP) residue, which Lynas claims is safe, while the government and local communities express concerns over potential radioactive contamination. The outcome of this appeal could significantly impact Lynas's operations in Malaysia, as the company plays a crucial role in the global supply of rare earths used in various high-tech and green energy applications.
