Putrajaya has purportedly granted another extension to Lynas Rare Earths to build a permanent disposal facility (PDF), according to the Australian mining firm.

The announcement comes as the previous deadline is set to expire next week.

In February 2020, the Atomic Energy Licensing Board (AELB) said the firm must construct the PDF in order not to violate the conditions of its three-year licence.
