PwC helping govt pick critical minerals projects

PwC is being paid up to $8 million to help the Australian and Indian governments choose which critical minerals projects they invest in as part of a bilateral move to shift supply chains out of China.

Under a contract with the Industry department — which is now reviewing its engagement with the company in light of the tax leaks scandal — PwC will receive up to $4 million from each government to find and assess projects.

The department, which houses its own Critical Minerals Office, said the assessments are being outsourced to PwC “due to the technical and commercial nature of the work being undertaken”.
