The digital prospectus features an interactive online map, shining a spotlight on all of the investment ready projects across Australia’s critical minerals landscape.
This new online tool can be customised to navigate Australia’s rich and diverse mineral endowment, and a range of available government support, including potential funding for Australian critical minerals projects.
Australia has an abundance of the critical minerals needed to build essential components for things like electric vehicles, solar panels, hydrogen technology and batteries.
Investment in Australia’s critical minerals and these technologies will help build a future made in Australia powered by renewable energy and create more jobs for Australians.
Federal Resources Minister Madeleine King said: “Critical minerals are vital for the global efforts to reduce emissions and becoming increasingly important inputs for the defence industry.”
“Australia’s resources industry has been developed with foreign investment, and we need overseas investment to build our critical minerals industry.”
“This new online Australian Critical Minerals Prospectus will help drive investment into the sector.”
The federal government is also incentivising investment in critical minerals projects through a range of programs, including the $4 billion Critical Minerals Facility and the recently announced $7 billion Critical Minerals Production Tax Incentive.
“Australia is ready and willing to meet the growing global demand for critical minerals, and we welcome international investment in key projects across the country,” Federal Trade and Tourism Minister Don Farrell said.
“Australia has all the critical minerals the world needs and we need investment to get these projects up and running.”
“The new online prospectus shines a spotlight on over 55 investor-ready projects which will attract the investment we need to build new industries, create more jobs, and become a renewable energy superpower.”
