Koppamurra Rare Earths Mining Project

planned

The Koppamurra project is an ionic clay rare earth deposit in southeastern South Australia focused on extracting key elements for permanent magnets used in electric vehicles and wind turbines. The project's progress depends on obtaining a mining licence expected in 2026 and the completion of a government-backed pilot processing facility operated by ANSTO in Sydney, scheduled to be operational next year. The project aims to utilize the ANSTO facility to reduce development costs and time, positioning itself as an early mover in Australia's rare earths processing industry.
