OPEN: Exploration Drilling Grant Initiative – Round 12

The Tasmanian State Government, through the Exploration Drilling Grant Initiative (EDGI), is offering grants for co-funded exploration drilling projects. The aim is to provide a stimulus to greenfields exploration in Tasmania, especially for minerals included in the 2024 Australian Critical Minerals list. The State Government has committed $5.0 million over ten years to this initiative. The program is administered by Mineral Resources Tasmania (MRT).

Applications are welcomed from mining leases, as well as exploration and retention licences. EDGI will continue to preferentially fund high-quality, technically, and economically sound projects that promote innovative exploration or the application of new exploration concepts and technologies.
