106 Rare earth processing

(1) Tonnes of total primary rare earth oxide equivalent contained in separated primary rare earth products that: (a) have weight by weight primary rare earth oxide greater than 90%; and (b) are suitable quality and concentration as an input to a metallisation process (including via electrolysis); and (c) are produced as part of carrying on the separated primary rare earth products production activity at the facility; and (d) are of saleable quality. (2) The metric in subsection (1) is applicable to a facility that conducts the activity of producing separated primary rare earth products through the transformation of metal ore (the separated primary rare earth products production activity). (3) The best practice emissions intensity is 20.1 t CO2‑e per tonne of total primary rare earth oxide.
