MALAYSIAN COURT UPDATE
Lynas Corporation (ASX:LYC, OTC:LYSDY) provides the following update to its ASX announcement dated October 4, 2012. The Kuantan High Court has reserved its decision on an application by parties associated with the Save Malaysia Stop Lynas (SMSL) group who are seeking an injunction against Lynas’ Temporary Operating Licence (TOL).
The injunction relates to an application by SMSL for judicial review of the Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology’s decision in June to dismiss an appeal against the decision of the Atomic Energy Licensing Board (AELB) to award the TOL.
The High Court is scheduled to deliver its decision on 8 November 2012. Until the decision is delivered, the interim order that was issued by the High Court on September 25, 2012 maintaining the status quo in respect of the TOL will remain in place.
Arising from the delay that these proceedings have caused to Lynas, the target first feed to kiln date will be delayed to a date later than the previously advised date of October 2012.
