Jupiter is located within the Brothers Project in Yalgoo, Western Australia.
It hosts Australia’s largest clay-hosted rare earth resource (1.8Bt), rich in magnet rare earths, yttrium and gallium.
Spanning approximately 40km² with low uranium and thorium levels, Jupiter is being advanced as a scalable source of critical minerals for Western supply chains.
Jupiter sits in WA’s Tier-1 Yalgoo mining precinct, 250 km east of Geraldton with highway and gas pipeline access. The flat-lying terrain allows year-round operations. Critica also benefits from proximity to rare earth processing hubs at Lynas (Mt Weld) and Iluka (Eneabba), positioning Jupiter as a cornerstone of a secure, Western-aligned supply chain.
Critica is advancing Jupiter through a staged development pathway focused on metallurgical optimisation, resource advancement and development studies.
Current workstreams include pilot-scale processing, product qualification, resource conversion and Scoping Study activities aimed at defining a scalable rare earth development opportunity.
Jupiter is the foundation of the broader Brothers Project, a district-scale rare earth system with multiple emerging targets across Critica’s Yalgoo landholding.
Alongside the 1.8Bt Jupiter Resource, targets including Aurora and Juno highlight the potential for additional discoveries and future resource growth.
The scale of the project area and extensive mineralised footprint support the potential to further expand Critica’s rare earth inventory over time.
