Northern Territory Targets $2 Billion Gold Production with Exploration Initiatives
STRATEGIC MINERALS
The Northern Territory aims for gold production to reach nearly $2 billion in 2024/25, with Mining Minister Gerard Maley advocating for increased exploration to develop underutilized gold assets. Beyond gold, the state is also focusing on expanding copper, iron ore, and critical minerals like bauxite and uranium to create a diverse minerals sector for long-term economic growth. The Annual Geoscience Exploration Seminar (AGES) will be held in Alice Springs on April 14-15 to discuss industry advancements and investment opportunities.
