The federal government will shortly release its critical minerals strategy. Resources Minister Madeleine King will use a speech on Thursday to indicate that this strategy will push back against the "concentration" of critical minerals processing in China. She will also state that "like-minded" foreign investors will be welcome to back the nation’s critical minerals projects, and emphasise that such investment will be needed to develop new projects in the sector. However, Global Lithium’s MD Ron Mitchell says the government must remember that China is a very important trading partner, and rather than excluding China, it could offer incentives for miners that secure deals and supply agreements with allied nations.
