MELBOURNE, Feb 27 — Lynas Rare Earths Ltd said it was focused on getting its new plant in Australia up and running amid concerns its Malaysian facility would have to be partly wound down, as it posted a four per cent drop in first-half profit on Monday.

MELBOURNE, Feb 14 — Malaysian regulators renewed an operating license for Lynas Rare Earths' unit, the Australian company said on Tuesday, but they retained conditions that will prevent Lynas from importing and processing rare earths concentrate after July 1.
