The North West Minerals Province (NWMP) in Northern Australia presents significant opportunities to boost both Australia’s manufacturing capacity and its transition to a low-carbon economy.
Estimated to contain $500B in untapped critical minerals like vanadium, cobalt, copper, and rare earth elements, the NWMP is poised to become a key supplier for the global shift toward renewable energy and electric vehicle production. By harnessing these resources, Australia can enhance its sovereign manufacturing, reduce reliance on foreign imports, and drive the development of decarbonisation technologies, such as batteries, renewable energy storage, and EV components. Investment in the NWMP will support local manufacturing, create high-skilled jobs, and build a resilient, low-carbon supply chain, positioning Northern Australia as a global leader in clean energy and technology. This will strengthen national sovereignty by ensuring critical supply chains are maintained domestically while contributing to global decarbonisation efforts.
