2027Target first DSO shipment
Strategy
Direct Shipping Ore pathway
The initial development pathway is designed around a straightforward, low-capital DSO operation, leveraging existing approvals and nearby transport infrastructure.
Longer term, the scale and grade distribution at Wonarah provide optionality across beneficiated phosphate, yellow phosphorus and thermal phosphoric acid markets.
- Adjacent to Barkly Highway
- Rail access via Tennant Creek to Darwin
- Established bulk commodity port at Darwin
- Natural gas pipeline adjacent to tenements
- Strong solar-energy potential
Execution
Pathway to first shipment
Approvals & heritage
Material approvals and heritage clearance provide a strong foundation for development.
Logistics
Road haulage, rail access and Darwin Port logistics are being advanced in parallel.
Production
Pre-strip is targeted before the first DSO shipment pathway in 2027.
