WATCH: ASM at Mines & Money London

Managing Director and CEO Rowena Smith presented the Australian Strategic Materials (ASM) opportunity at Mines and Money London in December – part of the Resourcing Tomorrow exhibition.

From our advanced rare earths and critical minerals mining and processing project in Dubbo, New South Wales to our cutting-edge metals plant in Ochang, South Korea, ASM is building an alternative global supply chain to support the clean energy transition.

Rowena gave an overview of both key assets in our mine to metals strategy and provided an update on the optimisation work we’re conducting at the Dubbo Project in collaboration with ANSTO (Australia’s Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation – supported by a $5 million Federal Government grant via the Department of Industry, Science and Resources.

WATCH: In conversation with ANSTO & the Critical Minerals Hub

 

Australian Strategic Materials (ASM) was delighted to participate in an engaging webinar with the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) and the Australian Critical Minerals Research and Development Hub.

“Critical Minerals – Australia’s Path to a Sustainable Future” – part of ANSTO’s Innovation Series – centred around Australia’s potential in the critical minerals sector, highlighting how industry, research and government are collaborating on various initiatives to propel its growth.

Critical minerals, vital for advanced technologies like electric vehicles, renewable energy and aerospace and defence applications, face supply chain vulnerabilities often concentrated in specific countries. With a wealth of these resources at its disposal, Australia has a significant opportunity to bolster domestic industries and contribute to global supply chain diversification.

The discussion, led by science and climate communicator Lee Constable, featured Lucy O’Connor, manager of the Australian Critical Minerals Research and Development Hub, Karin Soldenhoff, Principal Consultant at ANSTO, and ASM General Manager – Technical, Wayne Dicinoski.

The wide ranging conversation delved into the technical complexities of critical mineral processing, emphasising the need for innovation and value addition to establish a thriving sector in Australia. Other topics included government grants, research and development initiatives, and the crucial role of collaboration between industry, research institutions, and government agencies in fostering a robust and sustainable critical minerals industry.

This webinar offers valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities in this emerging field, making it a must-watch for anyone interested in Australia’s role in the future of critical minerals.
