Ts. Dr. Ahmad Zahirani Leads the Way at SMPREE2025 – Pioneering Malaysia’s Rare Earth Future

AMSERU extends its warmest congratulations to Ts. Dr. Ahmad Zahirani, an esteemed AMSERU member, for his exceptional leadership in organising the Seminar on Mineral Processing and Rare Earth Element Extraction 2025 (SMPREE2025)!

Held at the Bangi Avenue Convention Centre and Nuklear Malaysia, this prestigious seminar was co-organised with Nuklear Malaysia MTEG and brought together an impressive lineup of experts, researchers, students, and industry stakeholders, all with the goal of advancing Malaysia’s readiness and capability in the rare earth elements (REE) sector.

🔍 Highlights of SMPREE2025:
✅ Captivating keynote and technical sessions featuring thought leaders like Dr. Meor Yusoff, Dr. Rahman Yaccup, and Ts. Dr. Ruslinda (Lynas)
✅ In-depth dialogues on Malaysia’s REE roadmap and the urgent call for stronger national policy support
✅ A vibrant poster competition, spotlighting the work of talented young researchers
✅ Technical site visit to Nuklear Malaysia’s advanced laboratories – including XRD, EDXRF, WDXRF, and FESEM facilities
✅ Collaborative spirit strengthened by the support of generous sponsors: DKSH, RGS, Bruker, and ILab 🙌

The seminar served as a timely reminder:

🛑 Malaysia is in a race to build a competitive REE ecosystem. Without integrated policy, academic, and industrial synergy—we risk falling behind.

🌟 At AMSERU, we believe that gatherings like SMPREE2025 pave the way for strategic collaboration and actionable change. Let’s keep the momentum going—together.

🔗 Dr. Ahmad Zahirani continues to be an inspiration through impactful initiatives that bridge science, policy, and national interest.
