Join us as we speak with Mark Cooksey, Managing Director at ABx Group (ASX:ABX), to unpack the Australian Government’s announcement of a strategic critical minerals reserve and what it could mean for Australian producers.
Key topics discussed:
- Why the strategic reserve is less about stockpiling minerals and more about facilitating commercial supply agreements between Australian producers and overseas customers.
- How government intervention could help address market failure and reduce reliance on a single dominant global supplier.
- Where ABx Group fits into the strategy, with rare earths identified as one of the initial focus minerals and potential pathways for government-supported offtake arrangements.
