Australia’s resources minister seeks investment from S.Korea, Japan

Australia's resources minister has begun a week long trip to South Korea and Japan to discuss gas exports and critical minerals opportunities, as its government on Monday released a "prospectus" of 52 investment ready critical minerals projects. The resources-rich nation is seeking investment from allies in projects to develop minerals critical to green energy and at risk of supply chain disruption, spanning rare earths processing to various cobalt and nickel producing mines and plants. "Australia's critical minerals are key to the world's energy transformation," said Minister Madeleine King in a statement.
