The country also boasts leading supply chains and trade links for resources and energy exports and attracts lucrative foreign investment.<\/p>\n<p>The UK and Australia will collaborate under the Statement of Intent to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Increase investment links for critical minerals projects;<\/li>\n<li>Support sovereign downstream processing and manufacturing capabilities;<\/li>\n<li>Identify new critical minerals value chains, including through recycling, and create skilled jobs;<\/li>\n<li>Enhance collaboration on research and development;<\/li>\n<li>Promote high environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards; and<\/li>\n<li>Encourage the exchange of skills and expertise between Australian and UK firms, and other international partners.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The partnership comes before Australia&#8217;s eagerly awaited Critical Minerals Strategy, which is scheduled to be published later this year that will help to drive the country&#8217;s goal of net zero emissions by 2050.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_31495\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-31495\" style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-31495\" src=\"https:\/\/www.innovationnewsnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/\u00a9-shutterstockRHJPhtotos_1909134583.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.innovationnewsnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/\u00a9-shutterstockRHJPhtotos_1909134583.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.innovationnewsnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/\u00a9-shutterstockRHJPhtotos_1909134583-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.innovationnewsnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/\u00a9-shutterstockRHJPhtotos_1909134583-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.innovationnewsnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/\u00a9-shutterstockRHJPhtotos_1909134583-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.innovationnewsnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/\u00a9-shutterstockRHJPhtotos_1909134583-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.innovationnewsnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/\u00a9-shutterstockRHJPhtotos_1909134583-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.innovationnewsnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/\u00a9-shutterstockRHJPhtotos_1909134583-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.innovationnewsnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/\u00a9-shutterstockRHJPhtotos_1909134583-100x56.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.innovationnewsnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/\u00a9-shutterstockRHJPhtotos_1909134583-200x113.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.innovationnewsnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/\u00a9-shutterstockRHJPhtotos_1909134583-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.innovationnewsnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/\u00a9-shutterstockRHJPhtotos_1909134583-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.innovationnewsnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/\u00a9-shutterstockRHJPhtotos_1909134583-747x420.jpg 747w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-31495\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u00a9shutterstock\/RHJPhtotos<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Western Australia invests A$40m in critical mineral discoveries<\/h3>\n<p>Furthering the country&#8217;s efforts to develop its critical minerals supply chain, the Western Australian Government announced $40m to advance projects in the sector.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.innovationnewsnetwork.com\/lithium-mining-western-australia-net-zero-2\/24766\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Western Australia is home to half of the world&#8217;s lithium production<\/a> and is a premier exporter of cobalt, nickel, manganese, and rare earth elements. The sizable investment, provided via the Sustainable Geoscience Investments package, will enable Australia to capitalise on these assets and advance the sector.<\/p>\n<p>Bill Johnston, the Minister of Mines and Petroleum, commented: &#8220;Accelerating exploration activity is crucial to our State&#8217;s future economic success, and I am confident this funding will help the industry unearth Western Australia&#8217;s next big discovery.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We need to keep providing high-quality data for resource exploration to help maintain our global reputation as a proven investment partner.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Western Australia&#8217;s resources sector delivered a record $231bn of sales in 2021-22, and the bedrock of this success was the hard work put in by minerals exploration companies.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The funding will support the following initiatives:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>$16.1m to boost the Exploration Incentive Scheme to increase greenfield exploration and create a new Geophysical Co-funding Program (GCP);<\/li>\n<li>$6.7m for an Industry Ready Program (IRP) to develop data analytics packages for critical regions and commodities and will sponsor up to three graduates per year to boost their skills by working at the Geological Survey of WA;<\/li>\n<li>$6.2m for magnetotelluric data acquisition to enable more targeted exploration. This data will be powerful when combined with the passive seismic data being collected through the McGowan Government&#8217;s ongoing WA Array project;<\/li>\n<li>$4m for the Minerals Research Institute of Western Australia to expand research and innovation in net zero and waste reduction projects;<\/li>\n<li>$3.3m to update and optimise core libraries in Carlisle and Kalgoorlie, including new bionic lifting equipment; and<\/li>\n<li>$3.7m to redevelop and improve many of the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety&#8217;s (DMIRS) online data services.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Western Australia&#8217;s Premier, Mark McGowan, concluded: &#8220;The transition to clean energy represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Western Australia as economies worldwide seek to secure their critical minerals supply chains.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No other Australian State comes close to matching our commitment to minerals and energy exploration, and Western Australia continues to lead the pack by some distance.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This major investment into geoscience builds on the strong foundation of our world-leading resources sector, paving the way for growth in a low-carbon future.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our 2023-24 State Budget delivers on the Western Australia Jobs Plan, helping to diversify the Western Australian economy and create new jobs into the future.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The UK and Australian Governments have signed a Statement of Intent to reinforce the critical minerals supply chain between
