Browns Range Project Update

Northern Minerals finalised installation works and commenced commissioning at the Pilot Plant Project for its 100% owned, dysprosium-rich Browns Range heavy rare earth element project, located 160km south east of Halls Creek in the Tanami region of Western Australia and the Northern Territory.

The Company has the opportunity to become the first significant dysprosium producer outside of China through the development of the high-grade Browns Range Project, placing Northern Minerals in a unique position to capitalise on the growing demand for the dysprosium in the production of rare earth permanent magnets commonly used in the production of motors for burgeoning electric vehicles sector, where industry commentators now agree demand has reached an inflection point.
