Description	The Donald project is a critical minerals operation in north-west Victoria, Australia, focused on extracting a 17.4 million-tonne deposit of zircon and other minerals critical to aerospace, defence, and high-tech industries. The project is owned by Astron Corporation and has been granted major project status by the Australian government to fast-track approval. It includes adjoining deposits Donald and Jackson, which are among the largest zircon and rare earth resources globally. The project aims to produce about 9000 tonnes per year of rare earth concentrate containing monazite and xenotime minerals, with processing planned in the US at Energy Fuels' White Mesa Mill facility. A final investment decision is expected by mid-2026, with production targeted for late 2027.
