The Northern Territory now has defined mineral resources for 17 globally recognised critical minerals, up from 15, with the addition of graphite and gallium following recent discoveries. In 2023, the Territory's first gallium resource was announced at Transition Minerals' Barkly rare earths‑vanadium project. Kingsland Minerals has announced a significant graphite discovery at the Leliyn project near Pine Creek, with a pending mineral resource estimate underway.
Since the first edition of the guide was released a year ago, the Territory has also increased its known resources for other key critical minerals, with rare earths resources up by 5% on last year, vanadium up 50% and lithium resources up 84%.
