The Critical Minerals Facilitation Office is partnering with Geoscience Australia to develop a web-based critical minerals portal for assessing the economic and geological potential of selected critical minerals within Australia.
Federal Resources Minister Keith Pitt said on Wednesday that the portal was another significant step towards Australia establishing itself as a reliable, global supplier of critical minerals.
The collaboration builds on the signing of a memorandum of understanding with India last week on critical minerals, as efforts by the Australian government to grow the nation’s critical minerals sector gather momentum.
It also builds on other collaborations on critical minerals, including with the US and Canada.
