Goschen Central – Rare Earths & Mineral Sands
The Goschen Central deposit is located approximately 50 km south-southwest of Swan Hill in northern Victoria (map below). The Goschen Central deposit sits within 80% owned ACDC Metals and 20% Providence and Gold Minerals Pty Ltd (PGM) retention licence RL008607.

Key Economics – Scoping Study (June 2025)
Phased Development Strategy
Phase 1: Heavy mineral sands operation
Traditional heavy mineral sand operation, including, mining, beneficiation and associated infrastructure, to produce a zircon-titania heavy mineral sand concentrate (HMC) and a monazite-xenotime rare earth mineral concentrate (REMC). HMC revenue covers >90% of annual operating costs, materially de-risking the project.
Phase 2: Rare earth processing plant
Hydrometallurgical operation at a separate location to extract rare earth elements from the REMC and produce a mixed rare earth oxide (MREO). Plant located off mine-site to enable an efficient permitting pathway, simplified access to transport and chemical feed, and to enable third-party supply of monazite.
