Perak wants ministry to provide non-radioactive rare earth mining criteria

The Perak state government is asking the Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability Ministry to determine the eligibility criteria and conditions for a company to carry out non-radioactive rare earth element (NR-REE) mining activities.

Menteri Besar Saarani Mohamad said this is because the state government has received applications from several local companies interested in mining in Mukim Kenering, Hulu Perak.
