Governments back nickel, lithium industries
Federal Minister for Resources Madeleine King and Western Australian Minister for Mines David Michael met with nickel and lithium producers last week to discuss challenges facing the industry.
The roundtable comes after a challenging week for the nickel industry.
Following the discussions, King, with support from Michael and the WA Government, will:
Accelerate discussions within Government on incentivising investment, for example through the taxation system;
Urgently progress discussions with State and Territory Governments on common user infrastructure for critical minerals to include strategic materials like nickel to complement the Strategic Infrastructure Hubs Scoping Study;
Engage in further discussions with the Chamber of Minerals and Energy WA about the future of the nickel industry and the role of royalties.
