Australian Critical Minerals overview

Australian Critical Minerals is targeting a number of critical minerals like lithium and rare earth elements. With funds from their recent ASX IPO, the business plans to investigate the potential of developing its six projects. They’re located across 1,861 km2 of landholdings in Western Australia.  

They are exploring for lithium at the Cooletha Project in the Pilbara Region. Initial work indicates there might also be gold, iron ore and tantalum at the site. It shows similarities to Global Lithium’s ($GL1) Marble Bar Lithium Project. 

Cooletha is in the same area as major lithium mines such as Mineral Resources’ ($MIN) Wodgina and Pilbara Minerals’ ($PLS) Pilgangoora. The Shaw Project is also located in this region. This asset could contain iron ore and gold. 

The firm’s four remaining projects are in the south-western part of the state. They’ve gained permission to start a drill campaign at Rankin Dome, which is near the established mining centre of Southern Cross. As part of an agreement with Kula Gold ($KGD), the team will study whether the site contains rare earth elements. 

They are looking for kaolin at their other three assets. These projects are named Beverley, Kondinin and Kojonup. This type of clay mineral has various industrial uses, ranging from being an ingredient in ceramics, medications, foods and in light bulbs. 

Metakaolin can be used as a substitute for cement and can help lower carbon emissions during the concrete making process. This fits with the business’s strategy to develop sources of  minerals required to support the transition to a greener world. 

Australian Critical Minerals could provide investors with exposure to multiple metals. However, their projects are at a relatively early stage, and many things could change before they establish a path to development.
