Austral Resources Secures AU$15 Million to Advance Rocklands Expansion
Austral Resources Australia Limited (ASX: AR1) has secured AU$15 million from the QIC Queensland Critical Minerals Fund through a non-dilutive royalty financing arrangement. The funding will support a Stage 2 scoping study for the Rocklands processing facility, assessing an increase in annual processing capacity from 3.0 million tonnes to approximately 4.5–6.0 million tonnes, alongside alternative power solutions aimed at improving operating efficiency.
The expansion is underpinned by expectations that Rocklands’ existing capacity will be fully utilised by Austral’s sulphide ore through at least 2034. The study will also examine opportunities for additional throughput and third-party toll treatment, supporting Austral’s ambition to establish Rocklands as a regional copper processing hub in North West Queensland. Meanwhile, engineering and procurement for the facility restart remain on schedule, with first production targeted for Q3 2027.
