Australia's first downstream rare earths processing facility. Everything below is drawn from a named document, with the page it sits on. Where the record is silent, this page says so rather than filling the gap.
Ore is mined and concentrated at Mt Weld, 234 km north. The concentrate is trucked here and put through cracking and leaching, which produces a mixed rare earth carbonate. That carbonate is shipped to Lynas Malaysia for separation into individual oxides. The Malaysian step is outside an Australian register, so it is named here and not assessed.
This is a chemical plant, not a mine. It has no orebody, no ore reserve and no host rock, and the register records none for it. Until 30 September 2026 the two sites were held as a single entry, which meant the register could carry only one coordinate — and the one it carried was the mine.
A$730 million — Community Fact Sheet, October 2023, p.1, when commissioning was described as "well progressed".
A$800 million — Kalgoorlie Rare Earths Processing Facility Officially Opens, p.1, at the opening.
The register holds both rather than replacing the first with the second. A single current figure would read as though the cost had always been A$800 million. The movement between two dated company documents is itself the finding, and a reader is entitled to see it.
No third-party offtake counterparty is named. The held document does not identify a buyer for this facility's output.
No study is referenced. No Scoping Study, PFS, DFS or other named study appears in the held record for the facility.
No government funding instrument is stated. No grant, loan or guarantee appears in the held document.
No ore reserve, and that is the correct answer. A processing plant has no orebody. This is not a gap in the record; it is what a plant looks like.
Those four are recorded as absences against a named document, not left blank. A blank cell and a silence in the public record are different findings, and this register never renders them the same way.
Every figure above carries the document it came from and the page it sits on. Nothing is modelled, estimated or inferred. There is no score, no ranking and no view on whether the project is a good one. The register reports what can be established from the public record and marks exactly where that record stops.
