Coinciding with production commencement, Arafura has been busily negotiating with offtake partners and has recently signed a joint statement of cooperation with the Korea Mine Rehabilitation and Mineral Resources Corporation, or "KOMIR". The agreement will facilitate the supply of rare earths to the Korean market – one of the key global demand centres for rare earths. The cooperation between Arafura and KOMIR aims to kickstart a range of initiatives that will support growing demand out of Korean for access to rare earth products from the Nolans project. Intriguingly, a memorandum of understanding, or "MOU" between the Mineral's Council of Australia and KOMIR was also signed in the same week as the Arafura supply agreement. The MOU looks to strengthen cooperation on the exploration and development of critical minerals between Australia and Korea making Arafura's agreement all that more substantial.
