Lincoln’s Kookaburra Project named in Australian Critical Minerals Prospectus

Lincoln Minerals’ (ASX:LML) Kookaburra Graphite Project in South Australia has been named in the updated Australian Critical Minerals Prospectus for 2025, published by Austrade. 

The prospectus highlights Australia’s most advanced and strategically significant critical minerals projects, helping international investors and partners identify high-potential opportunities in key supply chains.

Austrade highlights investment-ready, critical mineral projects around Australia, including geological, financial and technical data inside the prospectus. 

Lincoln says Kookaburra’s inclusion – for the third time – recognises its development status including its existing mining lease, Prefeasibility Study results, and strategic positioning near infrastructure. 

The project supports critical global trends such as decarbonisation and the transition to electric vehicles, with graphite suitable for battery anode material production. 

CEO Jonathon Trewartha says the company is pleased the project is once again in this important national publication. 

“As international markets seek high-quality, low-risk graphite sources, Kookaburra stands out as a development-ready project with strong potential to supply battery and industrial markets,” Trewartha says. 

Lincoln is continuing to explore strategic pathways to advance the project including offtake partnerships, funding solutions, and value-added graphite processing. 

The Kookaburra Project, located in the Eyre Peninsula, has a resource of 12.8 million tonnes @ 7.6% total graphitic carbon.
