Ever-optimistic Amanda Lacaze sees better days ahead for the rare earths miner she leads, with recent firming pricing seen in the depressed sector and Lynas' "intelligence" on the ground in China relaying increasing demand and declining inventories.Lacaze said the "moderated" quotas announced in China last month would see "improved market dynamics".
During the briefing, Lacaze/Lynas was urged by Goldman Sachs analyst Paul Young to better report the rare earth miner's cost performance, which he claimed was far better than credited by "the street".Lacaze acknowledged the suggestion and said it would be looked at.Other points of interest in the briefing were Lynas' plans in the US being held up by the environment process in relation to a wastewater issue.
