MALAYSIAN APPEAL DISMISSED

Lynas Corporation (ASX:LYC, OTC:LYSDY) is pleased to announce that Lynas and the Malaysian government have been successful in defending another challenge by persons associated with the Save Malaysia Stop Lynas (SMSL) group (Applicants) to Lynas' Temporary Operating
Licence (TOL).
The Malaysian Court of Appeal has dismissed an appeal with costs in favour of Lynas against the Kuantan High Court's decision to deny an application for an injunction against the TOL pending a judicial review hearing in 2013. The Kuantan High Court's decision was referred to in Lynas' ASX announcement dated 8 November 2012. The appeal of that decision was referred to in Lynas' ASX announcements dated 15 November 2012 and 7 December 2012.
The judicial review application, which was referred to in Lynas' ASX announcement dated 8
November 2012, is scheduled to be heard by the Kuantan High Court on 5 February 2013. Both the Malaysian government and Lynas intend to strongly defend the process undertaken by the Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation in dismissing the appeal under the Atomic Energy Licensing Act.
There is no injunction or stay preventing Lynas from carrying out its operations at its Malaysian plant.
