Mining Lease Granted for Cummins Range

The Western Australian Government has granted a Mining Licence over the Cummins Range Project, providing RareX with the statutory right to develop a mining operation and confirming the Project’s advancement beyond the exploration and tenure-risk phase.

Mining licences are widely regarded as the most complex and time consuming approval to secure in Western Australia, and their grant represents a significant reduction in regulatory and development risk.

Cummins Range is a rare, multi commodity critical minerals project, hosting rare earth elements, gallium, and scandium, with clean apatite hosted phosphate positioning it as a strategically important asset within Australia’s critical minerals landscape.

With mining tenure now secured, RareX’s primary focus will move to metallurgical optimisation, process flowsheet development, and value maximisation across the project’s multiple mineral streams.

The Mining Licence provides the foundational approval upon which detailed mine planning, environmental approvals, financing, and potential strategic partnerships can now progress with greater certainty.
