The Critical Minerals and Gold in the Northern Territory 2026 documents the Territory’s resource endowment for 21 global critical minerals, and exploration potential for a further 14 critical minerals. Five new commodities - bismuth, iron ore, lead, silver and uranium - have been added to the Territory’s critical minerals list in 2026. For the first time, the guide also includes a comprehensive inventory of the Territory’s gold resources, making this document the first complete inventory of the Territory's mineral potential.
The Territory has world-class operating mines for gold, manganese, bauxite and zinc-lead, and a long history of uranium mining. Beyond established commodities, the guide highlights the next generation of critical minerals projects that will diversify global supply chains, including for rare earths, copper, bismuth, lithium, graphite, magnesium and tungsten.
