From Exploration to Production: New Frontier Minerals' Strategy for Australian Critical Minerals

25 minutes

In today’s episode, we're joined by Kevin Das, Senior Consultant at New Frontier Minerals, who sit right at the crossroads of the energy transition and geopolitics, with a portfolio of heavy rare earths and copper project, including their Harts Range project in the Northern Territory, and their copper asset at their Big One project.

We’re going to get Kevin’s overview of the company, its assets, and why heavy rare earths matter. We discuss the company's appointment of GeoDrill Australia and what that means for their Harts Range project as they move toward their maiden drilling program.

We’ll also explore the company's vision, including the path to fast-tracking copper production at Big One, also look at funding strategies across both projects, and most importantly, why investors should be paying attention now

KEY TAKEAWAYS

New Frontier Minerals has a portfolio focused on two key projects: the Hearts Range heavy rare earth project in the Northern Territory and the Big One copper project in Northwest Queensland

Heavy rare earths like dysprosium and terbium are economically superior and strategically important

The Big One copper project is considered the company's most advanced asset. New Frontier Minerals has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with a neighbouring company, Austral Resources, to explore the possibility of toll-treating their ore at the nearby Mount Kelly processing facility

The company is making progress on both projects. They have recently appointed a drilling contractor to begin their maiden drill program at the Hearts Range project

BEST MOMENTS

"Not all rare earths are created equal, and when you get one rare earth, you get all 15 of your rare earths."

"Rare earths have become a bit of a household name."

"If you're going to play copper, it's definitely one of the places to be."

"If we can get one of those projects to work through a discovery or development, if not both of them, I think there's definitely going to be a rerating and a real value add for all shareholders."
