Critica Advances Jupiter Rare Earths Project as Australia’s Largest Clay-Hosted MREO Resource

Venture Minerals Limited ( (AU:CRI) ) has issued an announcement.

Critica has outlined its progress in advancing the Jupiter rare earths project, highlighting previous exploration and metallurgical testwork that underpin its status as Australia’s largest clay-hosted MREO resource. The company has reported successful production of high-grade rare earth concentrates and mixed rare earth carbonate at pilot scale, as well as encouraging gallium recoveries, which collectively support a potential development pathway.

The update underscores that Jupiter remains at a pre-scoping and pre-feasibility stage, with resource estimates and testwork results drawn from a series of ASX announcements over 2025 and early 2026. While economic viability is not yet demonstrated and further studies, permits and funding are required, the scale and quality of the resource, combined with ongoing technical de-risking, reinforce Critica’s ambition to build a significant critical minerals platform in Australia.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:CRI) stock is a Sell with a A$0.02 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Venture Minerals Limited stock, see the AU:CRI Stock Forecast page.
