We are guiding efforts to develop a local critical minerals supply chain to boost the state’s advanced manufacturing, support regional economic development and potentially create new well-paid local jobs.

We're guiding efforts to develop a local critical minerals supply chain to boost the state’s advanced manufacturing, support regional economic development and potentially create new well-paid local jobs.

Applications for the $1 million Advancing Antimony Grants program opened yesterday, encouraging industry to explore the technical and commercial aspects of how to best establish the state’s first critical minerals processing facility.

To help applicants understand the program’s objectives and requirements, we're holding a webinar at 10.00am on Thursday 14 May.

Questions for response during the webinar can be sent to resources@deeca.vic.gov.au.

Grant applications close at 5pm, 23 June 2026.
