Kubatana kweAustralia neUS muMineral Kupinda muChikamu Chekuwedzera Chikuru (Kupera kwa2025 - Kutanga kwa2026)

"Project Vault" - chirongwa chehurumende yeUS chekuunganidza zvicherwa chakaziviswa kutanga kwa2026 chine mutengo wemadhora mabhiriyoni gumi nemaviri - chiratidzo chekufambira mberi kukuru. Semugadziri wepasi rose wezvicherwa zvakakosha, Australia ishamwari huru muchirongwa ichi.

Australia ine mabasa maviri semupi mukuru wezvinhu uye semubatsiri wezvehurongwa:

• Kuwanda Kwezviwanikwa: Australia ine mhando dzezvicherwa dzinopfuura makumi manomwe, ine huwandu hwakakura kwazvo hwezvicherwa zvakasimbiswa pasi rose zvinosanganisira tantalum, lead, nickel, uranium, zinc, uye sirivha. Nzvimbo dzayo dzesimbi dzinoita 30.5% yehuwandu hwepasi rose.
• Kushandira Pamwe Chezvinhu Zvicherwa Zvakakosha: Lynas Corporation yeAustralia ndiyo yega kambani huru yekugadzira zvinhu zvisina kugadzirwa zvakanaka kunze kweChina uye yave mubatsiri mukuru weUS mukuvaka kambani yekugovera zvinhu isiri yeChina.
• Zvibvumirano Zvenyika Dzese: US neAustralia dzakanga dzambosaina zvibvumirano zvezvicherwa zvinosvika mabhiriyoni emadhora masere nehafu, zvichigadzira hwaro hweProject Vault.

Kushandira pamwe pakati peAustralia neUS muchikamu chezvicherwa zvakakosha kwakapinda munguva yekuwedzera kukuru kubva pakupera kwa2025 kusvika kutanga kwa2026, zvichikonzerwa zvikuru neUS-Australia Critical Minerals and Rare Earths Supply Security Framework Agreement (yakasainwa muna Gumiguru 2025) uye kutanga kweProject Vault (Kukadzi 2026).

1. Ruzivo Rukuru rweMari neMari yekudyara

• Mari Yekutanga: Mapato ese ari maviri akazvipira kuisa mari inosvika bhiriyoni imwe neimwe yemadhora ($1 bhiriyoni) mumapurojekiti ezvicherwa akakodzera mukati memwedzi mitanhatu yekusaina chibvumirano (kureva, panosvika Kubvumbi 2026).
• Chiyero cheProjekiti: Kushandira pamwe uku kune chinangwa chekusimudzira chirongwa chinosvika mabhiriyoni masere nehafu emadhora ($8.5 bhiriyoni), zvichisanganisira zvese zvakakosha - kuchera, kupatsanura, uye kugadzirisa.
• Rutsigiro rweMari: Bhangi reUS Export-Import Bank (EXIM) rakaburitsa tsamba dzemubereko dzinosvika pa

  2.2 bhiriyoni∗∗yemapurojekiti manomwe eUS–Australia, anogona kuwedzera mari inosvika mabhiriyoni mashanu mukudyara kwese.

2. Mapurojekiti Akakosha Ari Kuenderera Mberi

• Gallium Refinery: Nzvimbo yekunatsa gallium ine simba rematani zana pagore yakarongerwa kuWestern Australia, kunyanya kutsigira matekinoroji ekudzivirira akadai se radar uye masisitimu ekutungamira zvombo zvinokandwa.
• Kuvandudzwa kweMigodhi yeRare Earths: Kutsigira chirongwa cheArafura Rare Earths' Nolans, neUS ichiisa mari inosvika mamiriyoni zana emadhora mukugadzirisa rare earths.
• Dzimwe Simbi: Inosanganisira

  350 miriyoni∗∗cobaltandnickelprojekti yekugadzira muAustralia, uye∗∗200 miriyoni yekudyara muchikamu chekuchenesa gallium chekuWestern Australia.

3. Rutsigiro rweMutemo neMaitiro

• Maitiro eVimbiso yeMitengo: Hurongwa hwemitengo hunosanganisira mitengo yakaderera hwakabvumiranwa kudzivirira makambani kubva kumatanho emitengo ari pasi pemusika uye kuona kuti mapurojekiti anobudirira mubhizinesi.
• Kubatana Kwekuchengetedza Zvinhu: Kuburikidza neProject Vault, US ichagadzira hurongwa hwekuunganidza zvinhu zvemabhiriyoni zana nehafu emadhora ($1.2 bhiriyoni). Zvicherwa zveAustralia zvichadya zvakananga mudura iri kuderedza njodzi dzekukanganiswa kwekutengesa zvinhu.
• Kubvumidza Kukurumidzisa: Nyika dzese dziri mbiri dzakazvipira kugadzirisa nekukurumidzisa maitiro ekubvumidza mapurojekiti akakosha ezvicherwa, zvichipfupisa nguva kubva pakutsvaga kusvika pakugadzira.

Mapurojekiti Manomwe Akakosha Ezvicherwa muAustralia

Sekureva kwezviziviso zveUS Export-Import Bank (EXIM) muna Gumiguru 2025 uye kutanga kwa2026, sechikamu cheProject Vault uye US-Australia Critical Minerals Framework Agreement, EXIM yakaburitsa tsamba dzekufarira (LOIs) dzinosvika mabhiriyoni emadhora $2.2 kumapurojekiti manomwe anotevera muAustralia:

• Arafura Rare Earths (Nolans Project) – Zvicherwa: Neodymium (Nd) uye praseodymium (Pr) zvinhu zvepasi zvisingawanzoonekwi. Mashandisirwo: Magineti anogara aripo anoshanda zvakanyanya emota dzeEV nematurbine emhepo.
• Zvicherwa zveNorthern (Browns Range Project) – Zvicherwa: Zvinhu zvevhu zvisingawanzoonekwi zvakanyanya (kunyanya dysprosium neterbium). Mashandisirwo: Zvinowedzerwa pakudzivirira masisitimu uye zvemagetsi zvepamusoro.
• Simbi dzeSimba reSunrise (Sunrise Project) – Zvicherwa: Nickel, cobalt, scandium. Mashandisirwo: Mabhatiri ane simba rakawanda uye alloys dzearuminiyamu dzemuchadenga.
• VHM Limited (Goshen Project) – Zvicherwa: Rare earths, zircon, titanium. Mashandisirwo: Ceramics, specialty metal processing, high-tech manufacturing.
• Latrobe Magnesium (LMG Project) – Mineral: Magnesium. Mashandisirwo: Zvishandiso zvesimbi zvisingaremi zvemaindasitiri emuchadenga nemotokari.
• RZ Resources (Copernicus Project) – Zvicherwa: Titanium, zircon, uye jecha rezvicherwa zvinorema. Mashandisirwo: Mapendi nemidziyo inoshanda zvakanyanya pakudzivirira uye kushandiswa mumaindasitiri.
• Graphinex – Mineral: Graphite. Mashandisirwo: Chikamu chikuru mu lithium-ion battery anodes.
