ASX-listed Lindian Resources has secured what it describes as a structural advantage for its Kangankunde rare earth project in Malawi, after Australia’s national nuclear agency confirmed that its monazite concentrate is exempt from radioactive transport classification under international rules. The company reported on Thursday that the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) had completed an independent radiological assessment of representative Kangankunde monazite concentrate samples and determined that the material would not be classified as radioactive for transport under the International Atomic Energy Agency’s SSR-6 framework governing the safe transport of radioactive material.
