Our Minerals

As global demand for critical minerals continues to grow, we are focused on supplying key elements required for clean energy, energy storage, defence, and high-tech industries.

Copper.hero

Copper

Copper is a key driver of modern technology and the clean energy transition and is now achieving record prices on the back of significant demand growth and supply shortage. As a core material in electrical wiring, electric vehicles, and renewable energy systems, its demand is expected to rise significantly in the coming years. With electric cars using up to four times more copper than traditional vehicles and solar and wind power requiring more copper than fossil fuel generation, copper is essential for powering a sustainable future. Its superior conductivity and versatility make it an indispensable element in energy, infrastructure, and high-tech applications.

Recyc.icon

Copper can be recycled indefinitely without degrading in quality, making it a leader in eco-friendly material choices.

Prioritise Icon2

Governments are prioritising copper as a critical mineral, with major investments in mining and recycling to secure future supply.

70% Icon

70% of copper demand comes from electrical applications, including power grids, EVs, and renewable energy.

Vanadium.hero

Vanadium

Vanadium is critical for powering modern technology. Its strength, lightweight nature, and corrosion resistance make it essential for aerospace, automotive, and high-performance alloys. In energy, Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries (VRFBs) provide durable, scalable storage for renewables. Its unique electrochemical properties also drive advancements in electronics, superconductors, and next-gen batteries. As demand for sustainable technology grows, vanadium remains a key element in the future of energy and innovation.

Temp.icon

Titanium-6Al-4V, an alloy with 6% aluminum and 4% vanadium, is used in spacecraft, jet engines, and rockets for its strength and heat resistance.

Steel.alloy

High-Strength Steel and Alloys

Vanadium is primarily used to produce high-strength steel alloys. Adding small amounts of vanadium can increase steel strength, hardness, and temperature resistance. This is particularly important in applications requiring high-performance materials, such as jet engines, high-speed airframes, and automotive steel.

Chemical

Chemical Industry Catalysts

Vanadium pentoxide (V₂O₅) serves as a catalyst in several industrial chemical processes, including the production of sulphuric acid (the Contact Process) and the oxidation of hydrocarbons.

Energy

Energy Storage

Vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs) are emerging as a preferred option for large-scale energy storage, including grid-scale applications used to balance load. They utilise the multiple oxidation states of vanadium to store and release charge, enabling high efficiency and long-term stability.

Titanium Alloy

Titanium Alloy

In the aerospace industry, vanadium is added to titanium alloys to improve strength and heat resistance. These alloys are used in jet engines, airframes, and other critical high-performance components.

Pharmacological

Pharmacological Research

Vanadium compounds are being investigated for their potential as pharmacological agents, particularly in the treatment of diabetes. Certain inorganic vanadium compounds can mimic the action of insulin and help reduce blood sugar levels.

Treatment

Cancer Treatment

Research is underway to explore vanadium’s role as a potential anti-cancer agent. While these studies are still in the experimental stage, some vanadium compounds have shown promise in inhibiting cancer cell growth.

Recharge

Rechargeable Batteries

The unique electrochemical properties of vanadium make it an effective element in certain types of rechargeable batteries used in everyday devices.

Dietary

Dietary Supplements

While not essential for human nutrition, vanadium is sold as a dietary supplement for various health claims, although these claims are generally not supported by rigorous scientific evidence.

Glass

Glass Coatings

Vanadium oxides are used in the production of certain specialty glasses, including infrared-transmitting glass and camera lenses, to enhance their properties.

Trace

Essential Trace Element for Some Organisms

Although not essential for humans, vanadium is required by some forms of life, such as certain algae and fungi. It plays a role in nitrogen metabolism in some of these organisms.

Enzyme

Enzyme Action

In some bacteria, vanadium is found in the active sites of certain enzymes that catalyse redox reactions, similar to the role of iron and copper in more commonly known enzymes.

Graphite.hero

Graphite

Graphite is essential for electric vehicle batteries, renewable energy storage, and advanced electronics. As the main component in lithium-ion battery anodes, its demand is set to triple by 2030. Additionally, graphene, a derivative, is transforming industries like aerospace and electronics with its strength, lightness, and conductivity. As technology evolves, securing graphite is crucial for powering the future of clean energy and innovation.

200x Icon

Graphene, a material derived from graphite, is 200x stronger than steel and revolutionising electronics, aerospace, and medical tech.

Yambungan

Graphite
Copper
Rare Earth Elements

Yambungan was acquired from Rio Tinto in Dec 2024 and is composed of a very large single granted EPM (EPM26413) situated within the Boomarra Fault Zone, on the eastern margin of the Mary Kathleen Domain.

Yambungan was consistently explored and drilled by Rio Tinto during the years 2018-2022 for a total of 13 drill holes and multiple geophysical and geochemical surveys. During this time Rio Tinto was exploring for numerous minerals including copper (IOCG and Mt Isa style deposits), graphite (hosted by graphitic shales and gneiss), vanadium (Toolebuc Formation is present in this area) and Rare Earths (REEs).

Drilling by Rio Tinto successfully discovered high-grade graphite, with an intersection as high as 44m@30% TGC (Total Graphitic Carbon). Yambungan is located immediately west of the Mt Burke and Mt Dromedary (Lithium Energy) graphite projects. Rio Tinto also discovered high-graphite REEs. Drill hole YAM004 intersected ~4m @ 1.4% NdPr (Neodymium + Praseodymium) which are some of the most sought-after rare earths, however the same intercept also contains Y = 2.2%, La = 4.1%, Ce = 5.75% and Dy+Tb (Dysprosium + Terbium) of 621ppm.

Richmond Downs

Vanadium

Richmond Downs has the potential to become Australia’s next vanadium mine, due to the project’s shallow resource, advantageous proximity to infrastructure and sought after product. It is composed of four granted EPMs for a total ~ 1,000km2. The deposit is located along strike from Richmond Vanadium’s Lilyvale deposit (560Mt 0.48% V2O5) and Velox’s Cambridge deposit (206Mt at 33% V2O5).

The resource is very shallow (SR expected to be ~ 1:1) with most of the Toolebuc Formation in the oxidised state, meaning that the ore extraction and liberation of the vanadium content is likely to be much simpler than conventional fresh rock deposits. Richmond Downs was successfully drilled in Dec 2024. Vanadium and Gallium was confirmed in all drill holes with metallurgical test work expected to commence in 2026 . It is also strategically located very close to the town of Richmond Downs and the Mt Isa railway, which would facilitate transportation, as well as lower costs.

Very large exploration tenure, composed of three EPM applications (EPM28408, EPM28409 and EPM28410), combined ~ 1,000km2. Continues the Julia Creek vanadium trend, with our Burwood West project to the south and Ausvan’s Allaru project to the north (714Mt @ 0.46% V2O5). Potential to hold billions of tonnes of Toolebuc Formation vanadium ore due to its very large area.

Millungera

Vanadium

Millungera is composed of two projects, Millungera East and West were granted in late 2025.. Millungera West is strategically located between two very large vanadium deposits, The Allaru deposit to the north (Ausvan 714Mt @ 0.46% V2O5) and Richmond Vanadium Technology’s Manfred deposit to the south (ASX:RVT 76Mt @ 0.34% V2O5). Millungera East is also strategically located immediately south and adjacent to Vecco Group’s critical minerals project mining lease, which will produce V2O5, Molybdenum and High-Purity Alumina (HPA).
