Tivan to call Darwin home

More and more private companies are turning to the Northern Territory (NT), because they know it is the best place to invest.

Leading Australian critical minerals company Tivan has decided to move its company headquarters to Darwin, as it plans to expand its locally based team in the months ahead - signalling more local jobs to come.

This move strengthens Tivan’s presence in the NT to support the next phase of planning and stakeholder engagement for its processing facility, earmarked to be developed at the Middle Arm Sustainable Development Precinct (MASDP).

Tivan is pursuing a globally significant project that will see the development of a multi‑mineral hub in Darwin that will process critical minerals that are essential for renewable energy.

Tivan Executive chairman Grant Wilson said, "Relocating HQ to Darwin is an important substantive step forward for Tivan. It will materially assist in project facilitation, especially in respect of our pilot plant and the significant work we have ahead at the MASDP. HQ will now be proximate to Tivan’s core interests and future workforce, and to greater Asia as well.

“Today’s announcement also has important symbolic resonance. Tivan is now one of a handful of ASX listed companies with HQ in the Northern Territory and remains the sole public proponent at MASDP. The move will further differentiate our corporate profile and value propositions, as we continue to deepen relationships with key stakeholders, including in community, government and First Nations.”

Tivan’s minerals processing facility will create 1,500 jobs during construction, and approximately 1,000 highly skilled long-term employment opportunities, and will be processing vanadium, titanium and iron.
