Northern Minerals’ Browns Range heavy rare earths project has emerged as a key element in efforts by Australia and the US to reduce China’s dominance of the sector. However, Northern Minerals is under renewed scrutiny over Chinese influence over its board of directors. Beijing-based Vastness Investment Group has asked Northern Minerals to convene a general meeting, with the aim of removing chairman Adam Handley from its board. Vastness has a 7.7 per cent stake in Northern Minerals; the federal government has previously directed several other Chinese companies to divest their stakes in Northern Minerals on national interest grounds.
