I-MOUNT WELD, i-Australia / i-TOKYO (i-Reuters) - Ifakwe kwi-volcano echithwe kwindawo ekude ye-Great Victoria Desert e-Western Australia, i-Mount Weld mine ibonakala ngathi ihlabathi likude ne-US-China imfazwe yorhwebo.
Kodwa ingxabano ibe yinzuzo kuLynas Corp (LYC.AX), umnini weMount Weld waseAustralia. Umgodi unenye yezona zinto zityebileyo emhlabeni zomhlaba ezinqabileyo, izinto ezibalulekileyo kuyo yonke into ukusuka kwii-iPhones ukuya kwiinkqubo zezixhobo.
Amacebiso kulo nyaka yi-China anokuthi aphelise ukuthunyelwa kwamanye amazwe komhlaba onqabileyo e-United States njengoko imfazwe yorhwebo eyayigquba phakathi kwala mazwe mabini ibangele ukruthakruthwano lwase-US lokuthenga izinto ezintsha-kwaye yathumela izabelo zikaLynas zanda.
Njengenkampani ekukuphela kwayo engeyiyo eyaseTshayina ephumelela kwicandelo lemihlaba enqabileyo, izabelo zeLynas zifumene i-53% kulo nyaka. Izabelo ziye zatsibela iipesenti ezili-19 kwiveki ephelileyo kwiindaba zokuba inkampani inokungenisa ithenda yesicwangciso sase-US sokwakha iindawo zokulungisa umhlaba onqabileyo e-United States.
Umhlaba onqabileyo ubalulekile ekuveliseni izithuthi zombane, kwaye zifumaneka kwimagnethi eqhuba iimotor zeeinjini zomoya, kunye neekhompyuter kunye nezinye iimveliso zabathengi. Ezinye zibalulekile kwizixhobo zomkhosi ezinjengeenjini zejethi, iinkqubo zesikhokelo somjukujelwa, iisathelayithi kunye neelasesi.
I-bonanza yomhlaba enqabileyo kaLynas kulo nyaka iqhutywa luloyiko lwase-US kulawulo lwaseTshayina kwicandelo. Kodwa iziseko zaloo boom zasekwa malunga neshumi leminyaka eyadlulayo, xa elinye ilizwe - iJapan - lafumana ukothuka kwalo okunqabileyo komhlaba.
Ngo-2010, i-China yanqanda ukuthunyelwa kwezabelo zomhlaba ezinqabileyo e-Japan kulandela ingxabano yendawo phakathi kwala mazwe mabini, nangona iBeijing yathi i-curbs yayisekelwe kwiinkxalabo zokusingqongileyo.
Isoyikela ukuba amashishini akumgangatho ophezulu asemngciphekweni, iJapan yagqiba ekubeni ityale imali kwiMount Weld - leyo uLynas wayizuza eRio Tinto ngo-2001 - ukuze afumane iimpahla.
Ixhaswa yinkxaso-mali evela kurhulumente waseJapan, inkampani yaseJapan erhwebayo, i-Sojitz (2768.T), yatyikitya isivumelwano sobonelelo se-$250 sezigidi zeerandi zemihlaba enqabileyo egrunjwe kwisiza.
“Urhulumente waseTshayina usenzele inceba,” watsho uNick Curtis, owayengusihlalo olawulayo eLynas ngelo xesha.
Esi sivumelwano sikwancede ngenkxaso-mali yokwakha umzi-mveliso owawucetywa nguLynas eKuantan, eMalaysia.
Olo tyalo-mali lwanceda iJapan yanciphisa ukuthembela kwayo komhlaba onqabileyo ngeTshayina ngesinye kwisithathu, ngokutsho kukaMichio Daito, owongamela umhlaba onqabileyo nobunye ubutyebi bezimbiwa kwiSebe lezoQoqosho, uRhwebo noShishino lwaseJapan.
Izivumelwano zikwabeka iziseko zeshishini likaLynas. Utyalo-mali lwavumela iLynas ukuba iphuhlise umgodi wayo kwaye ifumane indawo yokusebenzela eMalaysia enamanzi kunye nonikezelo lombane olwalunqongophele eMount Weld. Eli lungiselelo libe nengeniso kuLynas.
EMount Weld, intsimbi ekrwada igxunyekwa kwioxide yomhlaba enqabileyo ethi ithunyelwe eMalaysia ukuze yohlulwe kwimihlaba eyahlukeneyo enqabileyo. Intsalela iye iye e-China, ukuze kuqhutyekwe nokulungiswa okuthe kratya.
Iidiphozithi zeMount Weld "zixhase amandla enkampani okunyusa ukulingana kunye nenkxaso-mali yetyala," uAmanda Lacaze, umphathi oyintloko wenkampani, uthe kwi-imeyile kwiReuters. "Imodeli yeshishini likaLynas kukongeza ixabiso kwisixhobo seMount Weld kwindawo esebenza kuyo eMalaysia."
U-Andrew White, umhlalutyi e-Curran & Co eSydney, ucaphule “indalo yeqhinga likaLynas ibe nguye kuphela umvelisi womhlaba onqabileyo ngaphandle kweTshayina” onamandla okuphucula umgangatho wakhe 'wokuthenga' kwinkampani. "Kukucokisa amandla okwenza umahluko omkhulu."
ULynas ngoMeyi watyikitya isivumelwano kunye neBlue Line Corp ebanjwe ngasese eTexas ukuphuhlisa iplanti yokucoca eya kukhupha umhlaba onqabileyo kwizinto ezithunyelwe zisuka eMalaysia. Abaphathi beBlue Line kunye neLynas banqabile ukunika iinkcukacha malunga neendleko kunye nomthamo.
ULynas ngolwesiHlanu uthe uza kungenisa ithenda ephendula umnxeba weSebe lezoKhuselo laseMelika malunga nezindululo zokwakha indawo yokulungisa eUnited States. Ukuphumelela ibhidi kuya kunika uLynas ukomelela ekuphuhliseni isityalo esikhoyo kwindawo yaseTexas sibe yindawo eyahlulayo yomhlaba onqabileyo onzima.
UJames Stewart, umhlalutyi wezibonelelo kunye ne-Ausbil Investment Management Ltd eSydney, uthe wayelindele ukuba umzi-mveliso waseTexas unokongeza i-10-15 yeepesenti kwimivuzo ngonyaka.
ULynas wayekwisikhundla esiphakamileyo kwithenda, wathi, ngenxa yokuba inokuthumela lula izinto ezilungiswe eMalaysia ukuya eUnited States, kwaye ziguqule iplanti yaseTexas ngexabiso eliphantsi, into leyo ezinye iinkampani ezinokuthi zisokole ukuyiphindaphinda.
“Ukuba i-US ibicinga ngendawo efanelekileyo yokwaba imali eyinkunzi,” utshilo, “uLynas ulungile kwaye ungaphambili ngokwenene.”
Imingeni isekhona, nangona kunjalo. I-China, ngokude iphambili ekuveliseni umhlaba onqabileyo, iye yanyusa imveliso kwiinyanga zamva nje, ngelixa ukwehla kwemfuno yehlabathi evela kubenzi bezithuthi zombane nako kuye kwawahlisa amaxabiso.
Oko kuya kubeka uxinzelelo kumgca osezantsi kaLynas kwaye ivavanye isigqibo sase-US sokuchitha ukuphuhlisa eminye imithombo.
Umzi-mveliso waseMalaysia ukwayindawo yoqhanqalazo lwarhoqo lwamaqela okusingqongileyo axhalabileyo malunga nokulahlwa kobutyobo obukwinqanaba elisezantsi le-radioactive.
ULynas, exhaswa yi-International Atomic Energy Agency, uthi lo mzi-mveliso kunye nokulahlwa kwenkunkuma kuhambelana nemekobume.
Le nkampani ikwabotshelelwe kwilayisenisi yokusebenza ephelelwa nge-2 kaMatshi, nangona kulindeleke ukuba yandiswe ngokubanzi. Kodwa ukuba nokwenzeka kokuba iimeko zelayisensi ezingqongqo zinokumiselwa yiMalaysia kuthintele abatyali-zimali abaninzi bamaziko.
Ukuqaqambisa ezo nkxalabo, ngoLwesibini, izabelo zeLynas zehle nge-3.2 yeepesenti emva kokuba inkampani ithe isicelo sokunyusa imveliso kwisityalo asiphumelelanga ukufumana imvume evela eMalaysia.
"Siza kuqhubeka nokuba ngababoneleli abakhethayo kubathengi abangengawo amaTshayina," uLacaze uxelele intlanganiso yonyaka yenkampani kwinyanga ephelileyo.
