Lynas · Mt Weld to rare-earth separation
Ore moves into on-site concentration, then concentrate and mixed carbonate enter further processing.
What moves, and where?
| Connection | Material and evidence |
|---|---|
| Mt Weld · rare-earth mine to Mt Weld · concentration plant Transport not specified | Rare-earth ore The operator describes trucking mined ore to its on-site concentration plant. Operator process descriptions reviewed 2026-10-07Operator-described process relationship. Lines join approximate process-site pins, not transport corridors. No quantity, observed shipment, component customer or object-specific supplier is inferred. Lynas Rare Earths |
| Mt Weld · concentration plant to Lynas Kalgoorlie · rare-earth processing Transport not specified | Mixed rare-earth concentrate Mt Weld concentrate is delivered to Kalgoorlie for cracking and leaching. Operator process descriptions reviewed 2026-10-07Operator-described process relationship. Lines join approximate process-site pins, not transport corridors. No quantity, observed shipment, component customer or object-specific supplier is inferred. Lynas Rare EarthsLynas Rare Earths |
| Mt Weld · concentration plant to Lynas Malaysia · Gebeng separation plant Transport not specified | Mixed rare-earth concentrate The operator also describes direct concentrate supply from Mt Weld to Malaysia. Operator process descriptions reviewed 2026-10-07Operator-described process relationship. Lines join approximate process-site pins, not transport corridors. No quantity, observed shipment, component customer or object-specific supplier is inferred. Lynas Rare EarthsLynas Rare Earths |
| Lynas Kalgoorlie · rare-earth processing to Lynas Malaysia · Gebeng separation plant Transport not specified | Mixed rare-earth carbonate Kalgoorlie carbonate is processed further at Lynas Malaysia. Operator process descriptions reviewed 2026-10-07Operator-described process relationship. Lines join approximate process-site pins, not transport corridors. No quantity, observed shipment, component customer or object-specific supplier is inferred. Lynas Rare EarthsLynas Rare EarthsLynas Rare Earths |
Read the map with the evidence.
Each connection retains its own source period and material form. A reported industrial relationship does not establish the itinerary of an individual consumer product.
Source-reported Sodir pipeline geometries retain their published parts; other drawn connections join documented endpoints schematically.
Questions for the next step
- Three approximate pins were digitised from process plans with 100 m uncertainty; they are not surveyed installation coordinates.
- The Malaysia plant remains unlocated in the retained evidence.
- The direct concentrate route and the Kalgoorlie carbonate route are separate operator-described branches.
- Transport corridors, quantities, downstream component makers and individual objects are not established.
