PM002 - Oxalic Acid and RE Sulphate Transfer Package - Nolans Project

Overview Arafura Rare Earths Pty Ltd is seeking expressions of interest for the Oxalic Acid and RE Sulphate Transfer Package (PM002) for the Nolans Project in the Northern Territory. This is one of several framework agreements intended to be tendered and awarded for the procurement of standard equipment for sitewide applications on the Project. About Arafura Rare Earths Limited is an Australian, ASX-listed company (ASX:ARU) focused on the responsible future production of the rare earths elements Neodymium and Praseodymium (NdPr) and heavy rare earths from its Nolans Project in the Northern Territory. The Nolans Project is a fully permitted, construction-ready, single site ore-to-oxide project with an anticipated mine life of 38 years. As a fully integrated operation, Nolans will encompass a mine, process plant (comprising beneficiation, extraction and separation plants) and related infrastructure. The Project is recognised as a globally significant and strategic NdPr project which, once developed, will become a major supplier of these critical minerals to the high-performance NdFeB permanent magnet market. Hatch has been appointed as EPCM contractor for the Nolans Project. Arafura is transitioning execution management of the Project to Hatch, and as the execution plan and procurement packaging are finalised, Hatch will be the primary contact for procurement and contracting engagement. On 21 May 2026, Arafura advised that its Board of Directors has achieved Final Investment Decision (FID) for the Nolans Rare Earths Project, marking a significant milestone in the transition of the Project into execution.
