Kalpini Hub

Western Australia, Australia · Open Pit

Under Development
NickelCobaltScandiumRare Earth Elements
Overview
The Kalpini Hub is a collective name for a series of projects including the Kalpini and Bulong Nickel Projects, the Emu Lake nickel sulphide project, and the Yerilla Hub (Jump Up Dam, Boyce Creek and Aubils projects). It is focused on nickel and cobalt, with identified occurrences of scandium and Rare Earth Elements (REE). The resources are found in shallow, flat-lying nickel laterite deposits on ultramafic komatiite rocks.
Processing
Two potential processing methods considered: a standalone facility at Kalpini using High Pressure Acid Leach (HPAL) and Atmospheric Leach (AL), or hauling high-grade satellite feed to the proposed processing facility at the Goongarrie Hub.

Rare Earth ElementsPhosphateUranium
Mine life
38 years
Workforce
peak construction workforce of between 600 and 682 people. The operational workforce is estimated to be between 350 and 366 employees.
Overview
The Nolans Project is in the development phase and is described as shovel-ready. Arafura has completed early works construction and is targeting a Final Investment Decision (FID) in 2025 or early 2026. The project has received all necessary government and regulatory approvals to commence.
Production
The project is expected to produce 4,440 tonnes of NdPr oxide per annum. It will also produce 470 tonnes per annum of a mixed middle-heavy rare earth (SEG/HRE) oxide and 144,000 tonnes per year of fertilizer-grade phosphoric acid as a by-product.
Processing
The on-site process plant includes beneficiation, extraction, and separation facilities. The processing method involves a single-stage crushing and milling circuit, followed by flotation to produce a concentrate. This concentrate then undergoes a hydrometallurgical process which includes pre-leach, sulphation, water leach, precipitation, dissolution, and purification.
Equipment
The mining fleet is planned to include 108-tonne Hitachi EXI 200 excavators, 90-tonne Caterpillar 777F haul trucks, and Caterpillar D9T dozers and 16M graders. The processing plant will feature a single-stage jaw crusher and a ball mill. The overall infrastructure will include a residue storage facility, a gas-fired power station, and an accommodation village.

Vara Mada Project

Atsimo-Andrefana, Madagascar · Open Pit

Under Development
IlmeniteZirconRutileRare Earth ElementsMineral Sands
Mine life
38 years
Overview
The Vara Mada Project, formerly known as the Toliara Project, is a mineral sands project focused on the Ranobe deposit in southwest Madagascar. It is currently in the development stage, with a feasibility study completed and a government-imposed suspension lifted in November 2024. The project has an estimated mine life of 38 years.
Production
Over its 38-year mine life, the project is projected to have an average annual production of 959,000 tonnes of ilmenite, 66,000 tonnes of zircon, 8,000 tonnes of rutile, and 24,000 tonnes of monazite. Stage 1 operations are designed to process 12.6 million tonnes of ore per year, which will increase to 25 million tonnes per year in Stage 2.
Processing
Ore will be slurried and pumped to the wet concentrator plant, where slimes are removed and valuable heavy minerals are concentrated through gravity separation. The resulting heavy mineral concentrate is then processed in the mineral separation plant to separate ilmenite, rutile, and zircon. A monazite-rich stream from this process is upgraded in the monazite concentrator plant using gravity and magnetic separation. The monazite concentrate produced at Vara Mada is expected to be shipped to Energy Fuels' White Mesa Mill in Utah, USA, for processing into separated rare earth oxides.
Equipment
The project will utilise dry mining units (DMU) feeding a wet concentrator plant (WCP) via a slurry pipeline. The heavy mineral concentrate will then be treated in a mineral separation plant (MSP). A dedicated monazite concentrator plant (MCP) will further process a tailings stream to produce a finished monazite product. Stage 1 is planned to include a single DMU and WCP, with an identical set to be added in Stage 2. The project also includes plans for a purpose-built export facility for shipping finished products.
Expansion
The operation will be developed in two stages. Stage 1 is planned to include a single DMU and WCP, with an identical set to be added in Stage 2. Stage 1 operations are designed to process 12.6 million tonnes of ore per year, which will increase to 25 million tonnes per year in Stage 2.

Overview
The Donald Project is a mineral sands and rare earths project located in the Wimmera region of Victoria, Australia, approximately 300 kilometres north-west of Melbourne and 15 kilometres east of the town of Minyip. It is a joint venture between Astron Corporation Limited (51%) and Energy Fuels Inc. (right to earn up to 49%). The project is currently in the development stage, with a final investment decision anticipated in late 2025 and construction planned for 2026.
Production
Phase 1 is expected to mine 7.5 million tonnes of ore per year. The average annual production for Phase 1 is estimated to be 7,200 tonnes of REEC and 228,700 tonnes of HMC.
Processing
On-site processing will involve a Mining Unit Plant (MUP), a Wet Concentrator Plant (WCP), and a Concentrate Upgrade Plant (CUP). The MUP will scrub, screen, and slurry the ore, which will then be pumped to the WCP. The processing will utilise gravity and magnetic separation to produce a heavy mineral concentrate (HMC) and a rare earth element concentrate (REEC).
Equipment
excavators and trucks, supported by dozers, graders, and water trucks
Expansion
A proposed Phase 2 would extend the project's life to at least 58 years and would involve the duplication of the mining and mineral processing operations.
