IPOH, July 19 — The Perak government is weighing the possibilities of processing lanthanides mined in Gerik if Putrajaya approves the rare earths mining project in Gerik, Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Saarani Mohamad said today.
Saarani related that when tin ore was discovered in Perak previously, the material had to be exported to another country for processing because the government lacked the required technology back then. Saarani said a thorough study is required before the state decides on whether or not to proceed with the proposals, adding that considerations will include benefits in terms of revenue, job opportunities and environmental health and safety aspects.
"This NRREE material was found during the Pakatan Harapan government when Datuk Dr Xavier Jayakumar was the water, land and natural resources minister. He added that the NRREE project obtained an Environmental Impact Assessment approval from the Department of Environment on May 11. "They have to cover the land that was cleared and exposed and plant trees that can grow fast. No other works allowed at the area for now,” he said.
