Rare Earths
Australia's eminent position as a producer of monazite, and the forthcoming production of bastnaesite as a by-product from the Roxby Downs copper-gold-uranium ore, are stimulating factors for establishment of a domestic rare earths extraction industry, and already a plant to treat monazite is projected for the Pinjarra district as a neighbour to the gallium recovery plant, both of which will be established by the Rhone-Poulenc interests which have been the dominant processors of Australian monazite in France for some years.
