Pure Resources Limited ( (AU:PR1) ) has issued an announcement.
Pure Resources has unveiled a Defence Materials Platform Strategy that recasts its Garnet Hills Project as a multi-mineral critical materials hub for US and AUKUS defence supply chains. The plan integrates abrasive garnet, graphite and heavy rare earth element streams from a single hard rock orebody, with downstream uses in defence-grade abrasives, thermal management for AI hardware and weapons systems, and heavy rare earth supply.
The strategy is anchored by a Strategic Partnership Projects Agreement with Oak Ridge National Laboratory to develop economical recovery of heavy rare earths plus yttrium from industrial garnet, alongside an existing thermal management IP collaboration with Rice University on carbon nanotube fibre systems. These partnerships embed Pure Resources within the US Department of Energy critical materials ecosystem and support structured engagement with US defence agencies and AUKUS programs, positioning the company as a sovereign-aligned, multi-material supplier and reducing reliance on traditional single-commodity mining models.
