The federal government has awarded ASX-listed Northern Minerals some A$4.8-million in funding as part of its Building Better Regions fund, to develop an Aboriginal training-to-work (T2W) programme at the Browns Range heavy rare earth pilot plant project, in Western Australia.
Northern Minerals said on Monday that the government funding would contribute towards the total A$8.1-million project costs for the T2W project, which would include the establishment of economic infrastructure at Browns Range.
