Critica Launches Scoping Study for Jupiter Rare Earth Project with Sedgman Appointment

The latest update is out from Venture Minerals Limited ( (AU:CRI) ).

Critica Limited has appointed engineering group Sedgman to lead a Scoping Study for its flagship Jupiter Rare Earth Project in Western Australia, supported by Snowden Optiro on mining and SRK Consulting on resource updates. The study will integrate a beneficiation-first flowsheet with mining, processing and infrastructure concepts to define a base-case development pathway, establish baseline project economics and set initial capital and operating cost assumptions, marking a key shift from technical validation to structured economic assessment. Parallel technical work, including metallurgical testing with ANSTO, pilot-scale beneficiation with GAVAQ and planning for targeted drilling, is underway to refine flowsheet design, optimise product specifications and de-risk the project ahead of planned pre-feasibility and definitive feasibility studies, positioning Jupiter as a potentially large-scale, capital-efficient rare earths development in a low-risk jurisdiction.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:CRI) stock is a Hold 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.
