    Rare earths chemical plant under consideration

    Tuesday, 15/09/2009

    A mining company is considering South Australia and the Northern Territory as possible locations for a billion-dollar chemical plant.

    Arafura Resources is planning to develop a rare earths mine on Aileron station, north of Alice Springs, in four years' time.

    The company's Steve Macowski says the mined material needs to be processed at a chemical plant, which could even be set up overseas.

    "What we're building is really the start of a chemical industry for the location that we choose, so it would be a major catalyst into converting that location and that district into something quite large," he says.
