Koppamurra Rare Earths Mining Project

planned

The Koppamurra project is an ionic clay rare earth deposit in southeastern South Australia, containing key elements for manufacturing permanent magnets used in electric vehicles and wind turbines. Its advancement depends on obtaining a mining licence expected in 2026 and the readiness of a new government-backed pilot processing facility in Sydney operated by ANSTO, scheduled to be operational next year. The project aims to utilize ANSTO's shared-use facility to reduce cost and time for early-stage development, positioning Australian Rare Earths as a first user and competitive player in Australia's rare earths processing industry.
