Australian resources firm BHP has "affirmed its commitment to using reasonable efforts" to supply imported acid to Australia-listed mining company Lynas Rare Earths, Lynas said today.
This comes after BHP announced a temporary suspension of its Western Australia nickel business from October, citing bearish expectations against nickel prices.
Lynas has a supply contract with BHP Nickel West for the provision of sulphuric acid from the Kalgoorlie nickel smelter or imported sources to its Kalgoorlie rare earths processing facility, with the initial term until 30 June 2027.
