Tender Description
Overview
The Goschen Rare Earths and Mineral Sands Project is a mining and processing facility located in the Loddon-Mallee Region of northwest Victoria, under development by 100% Australian owned and operated, VHM Limited (ASX:VHM).
The Project will operate for 20-25 years and is expected to create around 75 construction jobs for the 1.5Mtpa stage 1 and 150 full time jobs for the first 3 years of operations, before increasing significantly approximately 3 years after commissioning, when throughput is increased to the 5Mtpa stage 2 of the Project.
Staged Development Approach
Development of the Goschen Project is planned to occur in 2 stages:
- Stage 1 (1.5Mtpa) - consists of a feeder and scrubber, wet concentrator plant (WCP), and a rare earth mineral flotation circuit (REMFC) producing rare earth mineral concentrate (REMC) and zircon-titania heavy mineral concentrate (HMC), with first commissioning in H2, 2026.
- Stage 2 (5Mtpa) - increases throughput to 5 million tonnes per annum producing rare earth mineral concentrate (REMC) and zircon-titania heavy mineral concentrate (HMC).
