Critically important mineralsCritical minerals are mineral resources that are strategic to the global economy, particularly for new and emerging technologies.
These currently include rare earths and other high value technology metals, used for making batteries, electric vehicles, mobile phones, high-definition screen displays, solar panels, medical equipment and for military technology use.
The Territory is focused on increasing its participation in the latter stages of the critical minerals value chain and is actively seeking investment to support this goal.
The Territory Government is collaborating with the Australian Government, and other states and territories on the development of the National Critical Minerals Work Program and is developing a comprehensive Territory Minerals Industry Development Strategy.
