Developing mining projects in the Northern Territory

The newly released May 2024 quarterly Mining Developments in the Northern Territory report provides a fully refreshed overview of the Territory's 18 developing mining projects. As of May 2024, these 18 projects represent a total estimated capital expenditure of $8.7 billion, with an estimated 4250 construction jobs, and 2100 operational jobs.

Of the 18 developing projects, one (Warrego Tailings) is in construction, a further six have approvals in place, and the remaining eleven projects are in the approvals process.

'Developing projects' are defined as projects that are progressing or have completed development approvals (through a referral submitted to the NT EPA or submission of a mining MMP) but have not yet commenced production. NTGS has revised its defined terms for mines, projects and exploration with definitions now published on the Mines, Projects and Exploration page.
