Gippsland Critical Minerals is a leading brand that specializes in the extraction of critical heavy minerals at the Fingerboards Critical Minerals Project in Fernbank, Victoria. With a focus on rare earths, zircon, ilmenite, and rutile, the project aims to meet the increasing global demand for these minerals, which are essential for renewable energy, technology, transport, and communications. The project involves the extraction of approximately 170 million tonnes of ore, resulting in the production of around 8 million tonnes of heavy mineral concentrate (HMC) over a span of 15-20 years.

The HMC contains valuable heavy critical minerals that are yet to be processed into final mineral products. Aside from meeting global demand, the Fingerboards Critical Minerals Project also contributes to employment and economic development in East Gippsland. It will create around 200 direct jobs during operation, injecting millions of dollars into the local economy annually.

Additionally, the project is committed to environmental sustainability and will employ best management practices to minimize potential impacts. The mine will be rehabilitated to its pre-mining state, including the restoration of threatened woodland. Gippsland Critical Minerals utilizes conventional earth moving equipment and gravity separation techniques, ensuring that no harmful chemicals are used in the extraction and separation process.

They prioritize safety and inclusivity for all employees. Stay connected with Gippsland Critical Minerals to receive the latest project updates and discover how they are shaping the future with critical minerals
