The Western Australian Government and the Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources (KIGAM) will join forces to research and develop the critical minerals value chain.
KIGAM is a Government-funded geoscience research organisation that has been driving solutions to global issues such as climate change since 1918.
The two parties signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) earlier this week, supporting cooperation and providing a framework for the exchange of scientific and technical knowledge across the mining value chain.
The MoU was signed by Mines and Petroleum Minister Bill Johnston in the Republic of Korea as part of the State Government’s mission to promote the resource capabilities of WA.
In a statement announcing the partnership, the State Government said the MoU will further strength the relationship between WA and the Republic of Korea following the signing of a historic letter of intent by Premier Mark McGowan on February 1
