Critical Minerals Investment Showcase 2025

The NSW Critical Minerals Investment Showcase launched a week focused on mining, investment and innovation positioning NSW at the forefront of global discussions on critical minerals. 

Held at The Mint in Sydney, the showcase brought together 90 delegates from across government and industry, highlighting NSW as a safe and sustainable investment hub for mining.

Minister for Natural Resources Courtney Houssos addressed the attendees, highlighting the NSW Government’s Critical Minerals and High-Tech Metals Exploration Program, and announcing 29 successful applicants for the $2.5 million dollar co-investment program.

Attendees heard about investment opportunities for critical minerals projects in NSW from 5 investment-ready companies - Australian Strategic Materials (ASM), Alkane Resources, Kingston Resources, Manuka Resources and Sky Metals.

Investors from key markets, including Japan, Korea, India, Europe, the United Kingdom and the Middle East were in attendance.

NSW has an abundance of globally significant deposits for critical minerals and high-tech metals, with resources or exploration potential for 21 of the 31 minerals on the Australian critical minerals List.

The state is well positioned to meet increasing global demand for critical minerals.
