The Prime Ministers of Australia and Japan last week signed a landmark Joint Statement on Elevated Critical Minerals Cooperation.
We are proud that the Copi Project was included as one of six projects highlighted by both governments as strategically important to the diversification of global supply chains.
The Australia-Japan relationship is a critical one, both globally and for RZ Resources. Our relationships with JX Metals Corporation and Marubeni Corporation, are proof of this cooperation in action.
Their commitment to Copi is a testament to the strength of the Australia-Japan alliance and the role our project plays in securing critical mineral supply chains for advanced manufacturing and defence across the Quad and beyond.
We are grateful for the support of both governments in progressing this important work. The future of sovereign supply chains is built on partnerships like these.
