Northern Territory's 80% Underexplored Land Attracts Junior Mining Companies
STRATEGIC MINERALS
The Northern Territory of Australia, which is 80% underexplored, is attracting junior mining companies due to its rich mineral resources, including gold and zinc. The local government is facilitating exploration through grants and streamlined approvals, with companies like CuFe, Emmerson, and MGX Resources actively pursuing projects in the region. Notable initiatives include CuFe's updated resources at Tennant Creek and Emmerson's planned $10.5 million exploration investment over five years.
