Project overview: Arafura's Nolans ProjectArafura Rare Earths Limited is an Australian, ASX-listed company (ASX:ARU) focused on the responsible future production of the rare earths elements Neodymium and Praseodymium (NdPr) and heavy rare earths from its Nolans Project in the Northern Territory.The Nolans Project, 135 kilometres north of Alice Springs, is a fully permitted, construction-ready, single site ore-to-oxide project with an anticipated mine life of 38 years. As a fully integrated operation, Nolans will encompass a mine, process plant (comprising beneficiation, extraction and separation plants) and related infrastructure.The Project is strategically located in the Northern Territory and is recognised as a globally significant and strategic NdPr project which, once developed, will become a major supplier of these critical minerals to the high-performance NdFeB permanent magnet market.On 21 May 2026, Arafura advised that that its Board of Directors has achieved Final Investment Decision (FID) for the Nolans Rare Earths Project (Nolans Project or the Project). This marks a significant milestone in the transition of the project into execution.Market EngagementOver the next four months, the project will be progressing with the structured mobilisation and ramp-up phase as delivery teams, procurement activities, and execution planning are progressively established.During this period, engagement will commence with selected suppliers to confirm capability, capacity, and readiness for upcoming work packages and tender opportunities.All interested parties should ensure your company information, certifications, insurances, and key contacts remain current, and that your details are registered through the ICN platform. A general expression of interest will not trigger contact but will ensure suppliers are included in the pre-qualification process when relevant packages are released to market. It also does not guarantee a contractor will be invited to tender and / or be awarded a contract.We appreciate your interest in supporting the Nolans Project and look forward to collaborating as the project enters this important execution phase.
