ASX-listed Tivan Limited has outlined its ESG framework, emphasizing responsible sourcing, First Nations inclusion, and robust environmental oversight for its Western Australia projects. The company’s approach is underpinned by its First Nations Framework, which includes heritage and resourcing agreements with the Kimberley Land Council for the Nganjuwarr and Yurriyangem Taam areas.
Material actions and disclosures
Tivan’s Sandover project involves a Central Land Council exploration deed and up to A$1 million proactively invested over four years through the Central Land Council’s Community Development Program. The company also highlights its alignment with the Japanese Government through JOGMEC’s investment in JFC alongside Sumitomo.
For financing, Tivan’s Speewah project is recognized in the Australia–Japan critical minerals cooperation (May 2026). The project must meet environmental and social benchmarks for support from Export Finance Australia (EFA) and the Northern Australian Infrastructure Facility (NAIF), which requires a mandatory Indigenous Engagement Strategy with participation, procurement, and employment objectives.
Forward commitments
Tivan aims to complete the Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) for Speewah by 2026, with drilling complete and an updated MRE underway to support mine planning and a maiden Ore Reserve. The company is also advancing product assessment and offtake arrangements with Sumitomo.
Tivan Limited’s ESG framework is designed to ensure strong engagement with Traditional Owners and robust environmental approvals throughout the project life cycle.
