Barkly Rare Earths receives a second exploration grant from the Northern Territory Government, securing $115,000 for expansion drilling at its project in the Top End. The grant follows a separate NT Government funding round of the same amount, also reported at $115,000, provided for metallurgy work. Across the outlets, the company’s funding package is described as two distinct grants aimed at advancing different stages of its project development: expansion drilling to extend or test prospective areas and metallurgy to support analysis of the material and processing characteristics. The reports describe the second grant as coming “hot on the heels” of the earlier metallurgy grant, indicating closely timed government support for parallel project activities. No additional details are provided in the excerpts on the project’s location specifics, drilling targets, or planned timelines beyond the intent to carry out expansion drilling and metallurgy work using the funding.
