Gold, Rare Earth and Materials Technopreneurship Center (GREAT) is organizing a seminar in opening up opportunities to establish cooperation between academician, government agencies and industries in intensifying activities related to gold mining, rare earth metals and minerals in the east coast area and related areas. The seminar will focus on discussing issues and technology especially related to rare earth elements (REE) and minerals in Malaysia.
