Critical Metals for Critical Industries CRC

ABx is a partner in the successful bid for the Critical Metals for Critical Industries (CMCI) Cooperative Research Centre (CRC). The CMCI CRC has been awarded $53 million from the Federal Government to drive the development and commercialisation of new critical minerals refining technologies.

Within the CRC, ABx will play a leading role in developing and piloting next-generation refining and recovery technologies for rare earths. This will enhance the value of ABx’s ionic adsorption clay rare earths project in northern Tasmania.

Critical Technologies Challenge Program

ABx is a partner with TeraGlo, who have been awarded a $2.4 million Critical Technologies Challenge Program (CTCP) grant to develop a world-first quantum-enabled, in-field geometallurgy sensor specifically designed for clay-hosted rare earths.
