-- Lindian Resources (ASX:LIN) confirmed that the SARECO mixed rare earth carbonate (MREC) processing facility in Kazakhstan has an existing sulfuric acid supply arrangement with the Stepnogorsk sulfuric acid plant, a state-backed local producer, according to a Tuesday Australian bourse filing.
This follows recent reports that China will implement a near-total ban on sulfuric acid exports from Friday.
Its position with access to domestic supply may reduce exposure to global supply disruptions, per the filing.
