Critical minerals in Australia - statistics & facts
A world-leading mining nation, Australia has found itself in a strategic position to contribute to the world’s supply of many critical minerals such as nickel, cobalt, lithium, and rare-earth elements. The global demand for critical minerals for energy storage is just one opportunity that Australia’s mining industry is banking on. Despite the challenging pricing environment for these minerals, Australia has continued to invest in the industry through its Critical Minerals Strategy. Along with this, the current government has detailed plans to establish a national critical minerals reserve, which may give the country more security in today's dynamic geopolitical climate.
