Northern Minerals is an Australian mineral exploration and development company focused on heavy rare earth elements, including dysprosium, lutetium and terbium. It holds sizable land positions in Western Australia and the Northern Territory, with its flagship project located at Browns Range in WA. It seeks to be a meaningful source of dysprosium outside China, a material used in high‑performance magnets for electric vehicles, offshore wind, and defense applications. Development is structured in three stages, beginning with a 60,000 tonne per year pilot plant, followed by engineering studies and design to a BFS level, and then full-scale production. The company is based in West Perth, Western Australia, and operates with a mid-sized team. Recent media coverage notes expansion of its facilities within Western Australia as part of the Browns Range program.
