About Northern Minerals

Northern Mineral Limited’s (ASX:NTU) strategic objective is to develop its 100% owned Browns Range Heavy Rare Earths Project and focus on being a producer of Dysprosium (Dy) and Terbium(Tb), which are critical to high performance magnet production.

With a clearly defined pathway to production, the company’s highly experienced team are currently working to update the Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS), which is expected to be released by the end of 2024, ahead of a Final Investment Decision in early 2025.

The Project sits within a uniquely Dy and Tb rich mineral setting in the Kimberley with its structural geology and minerology well understood, and is located 160km south east of Halls Creek near the Northern Territory border.

Company History

Northern Minerals Limited aspires to be a principal supplier of ethically produced Rare Earth Metals and separated products from the world’s largest Heavy Rare Earth Element inventory within 10 years. The Company has a large landholding in Western Australia and the Northern Territory that is highly prospective for this element. Its current portfolio consists of three projects, the Browns Range and John Galt projects in WA, and the Boulder Ridge Project located in the NT.

Of these projects, Northern Minerals’ 100% owned Browns Range Project is its flagship project, where it has built a pilot plant to test a number of deposits and prospects that contain high value dysprosium and other Heavy Rare Earths (HREs), hosted in xenotime mineralisation.
