Export Finance Australia debt commitment of up to A$700 million to Arafura (Nolans project)

Debt commitment of up to A$700 million from Export Finance Australia supporting Arafura Rare Earths' Nolans project, described in EFA's 21 May 2026 media release on Arafura's final investment decision. The release states a commitment but does not state that definitive facility documentation has been executed or that funds have been drawn, so the instrument is recorded at conditional-commitment. The companion equity piece (approximately A$140 million, already invested) is recorded as the separate instrument arafura-efa-equity-2026.
