The stock of Australian-listed rare earths group Lynas Corporation closed 17% lower at $A0.17 on 31 July 2014. The market reacted to concerns that the company may struggle to make a repayment of $US35m ($A37.5m) on its debt by the 30 September deadline, as well as to data in its output report for the June quarter. While Lynas unveiled an increase of 117% year-on-year to 1,882 tonnes in shipments from its Malaysian plant, the price achieved fell by over $US4 to $US18.25 a kilogram
