West Cobar Aligned as Canberra’s Critical Minerals Reserve Targets Rare Earths, Gallium and Antimony

West Cobar Metals Ltd. ( (AU:WC1) ) has provided an announcement.

West Cobar Metals has welcomed the Australian Federal Government’s detailed plans for a $1.2 billion Critical Minerals Strategic Reserve, which will initially prioritise rare earths, gallium and antimony—commodities that are central to the company’s project portfolio. Management highlighted that Salazar already hosts substantial rare earth resources and metallurgical testwork indicates potential co‑product streams of scandium and gallium, while a maiden gallium resource is being prepared and Bulla Park contains a sizeable copper‑antimony‑silver resource, leaving the company well aligned to benefit from policy support aimed at shoring up long‑term critical mineral supply and strengthening Australia’s strategic position in these markets.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:WC1) stock is a Hold with a A$0.02 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on West Cobar Metals Ltd. stock, see the AU:WC1 Stock Forecast page.
