AR3 Secures More Government Funding as Koppamurra Rare Earths Project Advances

The latest update is out from Australian Rare Earths Limited ( (AU:AR3) ).

Australian Rare Earths has received a further A$960,000 under the Australian Government’s International Partnerships in Critical Minerals program, lifting total grant receipts to A$2.75 million and underpinning ongoing work at its flagship Koppamurra rare earths project. The funding underscores growing government backing for domestic rare earth supply as the sector gains strategic importance.

At Koppamurra, metallurgical optimisation with ANSTO is delivering better leach kinetics, recoveries and reagent efficiency, allowing AR3 to finalise and de-risk its processing flowsheet ahead of pilot operations. A pre-feasibility study is in its final stages for release in the June quarter of 2026, alongside a pilot plant set to process about 30 tonnes of clay into mixed rare earth oxide and a mining lease application targeted for submission the same year, marking key steps toward potential development.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:AR3) stock is a Hold with a A$0.13 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Australian Rare Earths Limited stock, see the AU:AR3 Stock Forecast page.
