Strategic Overview and Business Direction
Building a global rare earths and critical minerals business with assets in Dubbo (NSW), a metals facility in South Korea, and a planned US metals plant, supporting clean energy and advanced technologies.
Integrated mine-to-metals strategy includes mining, refining, and advanced manufacturing for sectors like energy, defense, electronics, and consumer markets.
Focus on sustainable supply chains, direct shipping options, and strengthening global customer relationships, including partnerships with major industry players.
End markets include automotive, robotics, energy, defense, and consumer sectors with high growth rates.
Recent Milestones and Operational Progress
South Korean facility opened in 2022, producing high-quality neodymium praseodymium metals and specialist alloys for high-performance magnets, with ongoing product validation and customer expansion in Asia, Europe, and the U.S.
KMP commenced build in 2021, with first metal sale in 2022 and ongoing expansion; US$60M invested to date, phase 2 fully funded, and 18 furnaces operational.
Expansion of the Korean plant underway, doubling strip casting and increasing furnaces to 18, with 12 already installed and total CapEx for expansion estimated at $8 million.
Significant customer and product growth achieved, supported by government grants and capital raises.
Planning advanced for a U.S. metals plant with a nameplate capacity of up to 4,000 tons per annum to address growing magnet market demand.
Dubbo Project and Strategic Assets
Dubbo Project offers a unique ore body with long-term feedstock potential for rare earths and critical minerals.
Optimization and scoping studies reduced capital requirements from nearly AUD 2 billion to AUD 740 million, with further reductions possible by shifting to mixed hydroxide production or heap leach options.
KMP provides rare earth metallisation and alloying, closing a critical gap in global supply chains.
