Australian mining company Tivan is working with Japanese companies and government-affiliated institutions to accelerate exploration for fluorspar and tungsten. It is establishing a cooperation framework with Sumitomo Corporation and others, with the aim of developing projects in northern Australia and Timor-Leste.
ASX-listed Tivan is pursuing the exploration and development of fluorspar and tungsten at 3 sites in northern Australia and in Timor-Leste.
It is working with Japanese companies and government-affiliated institutions locally to establish a production system for critical minerals and reduce dependence on China.
Through exploration for fluorite (fluorspar) and tungsten, the company aims to strengthen supply-chain resilience and its ability to respond to trade restrictions.
Exploration is progressing at the Molly Hill tenement, one of the local mining areas.
