Rio Tinto ready to build Simandou after almost 30 years of setbacks
Simandou has faced delays due to legal disputes, political changes, and the challenges of building out 600 km rail and port infrastructure.
According to a report by Fairfax Media, Lynas Corporation Limited may face more obstacles at its rare earths processing plant in Malaysia after a group of activists confirmed its commitment to obstruct the project.
According to the report, opposition political parties announced the plan to close down the plant if they win the upcoming election in April 2013.
Lee Tan, former campaigner for the Australian Conservation Foundation, confirmed that Malaysian residents are still committed to stopping the project.
