North West Phosphate
Committed to improving availability of this vital resource for agriculture both domestically and internationally.
A significant undeveloped phosphate resource in North West Queensland
North West Phosphate holds JORC-compliant phosphate resources across four tenement holdings in Queensland's North West Minerals Province — a critical input for fertilisers that feed the world. We're working to turn that resource into a sovereign supply chain for Australian agriculture.
Delivering strong, stable, and sustainable world-class phosphate resources for Australia's future.
Unlocking Australia's sovereign agricultural capability and securing global food production.

OUR PROJECTSWhat drives us
Sovereignty
Strengthening Australia's supply chain resilience by developing a domestic source of phosphate — reducing reliance on international markets for a critical agricultural input.
Community
Creating trusted, long-term relationships with landholders, Traditional Owners, local communities, and government to ensure our development delivers shared benefit.
Ingenuity
Challenging ourselves to find smarter, more efficient pathways — in how we develop the resource, engage our partners, and deliver value beyond the status quo.
Sustainability
Responsibly developing our high-quality resources with environmental care and social accountability, ensuring the project's benefits extend to future generations.
The Importance of Phosphate
Phosphate is an essential resource for our future — a critical input for agriculture, advanced manufacturing and the technologies underpinning the transition to net zero. North West Phosphate is positioned to strengthen the availability of this vital resource for both domestic and international markets.
Food Security & Fertiliser
Phosphate rock is the primary feedstock for phosphorus-based fertilisers — an irreplaceable input for global food production and agricultural productivity.
Advanced Manufacturing
Phosphorus supports emerging technologies and industrial processes across the medical, defence and scientific research sectors.
Strategic Supply Security
With global supply chains vulnerable to disruption, secure domestic phosphate resources are vital to Australia’s economic and national resilience.
