3 minute read.

Highlights

  • Critica Limited proposes an A$556 million rare earth operation at Jupiter, Western Australia, with an investment decision targeted for end-2029.
  • The project would process 8 million metric tons annually over 14 years, yielding roughly 8,300 tons of rare earth oxides per year.
  • No Ore Reserve has been established and capital estimates carry ±35% uncertainty, with funding still unsecured.
  • A mixed-oxide sample graded 98.2% total rare earth oxides supports customer evaluation but does not confirm commercial-scale separated magnet ingredients.
  • Overall project recovery is approximately 58% when concentration-stage and downstream chemical recovery figures are combined correctly.
