What's Happening?
Lindian Resources has announced that its Kangankunde rare earths project in Malawi is unaffected by recent government comments regarding potential restrictions on the export of raw minerals. The company
emphasized its compliance with local laws and noted that its project falls within the exemptions outlined in the President's Executive Order No. 2 of 2025, which allows for the export of processed minerals. Lindian plans to process raw resources into a concentrate before export, which is the highest level of beneficiation currently possible in Malawi. The company continues to engage constructively with Malawian authorities and the broader mining industry.
Why It's Important?
This confirmation from Lindian Resources is crucial for the stability and future operations of the Kangankunde project. It ensures that the company's plans for mineral beneficiation and export remain on track, supporting local economic development and compliance with government regulations. The situation highlights the importance of clear communication and regulatory compliance in international mining operations. Lindian's proactive engagement with Malawian authorities may serve as a model for other companies navigating similar regulatory landscapes.
