$40 million to support critical minerals projects in Australia

The Australian Government is strengthening international critical minerals projects through a $40 million grant program. 

The grants will provide between $2 million and $20 million in co-funding for early to mid-stage critical minerals projects in Australia. The grants will help advance international partnerships that support Australian processing and diversify supply chains.

Eligible activities for the grants include:

• pilot and demonstration plants, capacity expansions, and research and development activities 
• development or commercialisation of technology and intellectual property
• critical minerals processing technologies
• development of downstream processing capability.
