Arafura Resources Ltd
Investor Relations

Arafura Resources is an Australian rare earths company focused on developing the Nolans project in the Northern Territory. Its business is to mine ore, process it, and separate out rare earth products, with a main focus on neodymium-praseodymium, a key input for high-strength permanent magnets. The company does not sell finished consumer goods. It aims to sell refined rare earth oxides and related products to industrial customers such as magnet makers and manufacturers that supply electric vehicles, wind turbines, electronics, and other advanced equipment. Its money comes from selling these processed materials under long-term supply agreements or similar customer contracts. What sets Arafura apart is that it sits early in the rare earth supply chain, where it turns a mineral deposit into a purified chemical product that downstream manufacturers can use. That makes it more of a specialist materials supplier than a traditional mining company, because the value is in the processing and separation as much as in the ore itself.

AI Summary
Q3 2026

FID focus: Management said the main goal is still to call final investment decision this quarter, which would allow construction to start next quarter.

Funding progress: Arafura said it is more than 90% funded after securing cornerstone support from KfW, Export Finance Australia, and the National Reconstruction Fund.

Offtake remains key: One more offtake agreement is still the last major step before FID, with management saying it is actively negotiating with multiple parties and expects to land one this quarter.

Project readiness: The company said execution preparations are well advanced, with most key hires in place, the EPCM team mobilized, and procurement planning underway.

Cost outlook: Management said its CapEx estimate has stayed stable and that the higher funding figure reflects total financing needs, contingencies, and facilities rather than a higher base project cost.

Strategic positioning: Arafura emphasized its ex-China, ore-to-oxide strategy, heavy rare earths expansion work, and renewable power plans as differentiators for the Nolans project.
