Malaysia approves Lynas' application for waste treatment facility

KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) - Malaysia has approved Australian rare earths miner Lynas Corp's application to build a permanent disposal facility for waste treatment, a minister said on Tuesday.

Lynas can build its facility in a waste disposal site identified by the Pahang state government, Khairy Jamaluddin the science, technology and innovation minister, said in parliament.

Identifying a location for the permanent disposal facility was part of the requirements set by the Malaysia government when it renewed Lynas' licence to operate in the country last year.
