Overview

VHM Goschen Project

Positioned at the centre of the global critical minerals supply chain, the Goschen Project is emerging as one of Australia's most compelling near-term rare earth and mineral sands developments.

Located in Victoria's Loddon Mallee region, Goschen combines scale, longevity, and strong economics in a jurisdiction known for regulatory stability and infrastructure access.

A Globally Relevant Critical Minerals Platform

Goschen will produce a strategic mix of:

• Rare earth mineral concentrate (REMC) - essential for clean energy, electrification and defence supply chains
• Zircon and titania products - critical inputs across ceramics, pigments and industrial applications
  

This diversified product suite positions VHM to deliver both exposure to rare earths upside and cash flow stability from established mineral sands markets.

Compelling Project Economics

Goschen is a robust, financeable project with strong long-term value generation:

• 5 Mtpa operation with an initial up to 20 year mine life
• Only ~50% of Ore Reserves consumed in current mine plan (~12% of Resources)
• Significant embedded resource expansion and mine life extension upside
  

This provides investors and partners with long-life exposure to critical minerals demand, underpinned by a scalable development profile.

Low Technical Risk, Build-Ready Design

Goschen is designed as a simple, conventional mining and processing operation, leveraging:

• Proven heavy mineral sands mining methods
  
• Established processing technologies
  

Strategically Timed for Market Demand

Goschen is advancing at a critical moment where:

• Governments are prioritising secure, Westen rare earth supply chains
• Demand is accelerating across EVs, wind turbines and advanced technologies
  
• Investors are seeking near-term producers with credible development pathways
  

As highlighted in VHM's strategy, Goschen stands out as one of the few Australian projects capable of near-term production in both rare earths and mineral sands.
