I love the stories behind how mineral deposits get their name. What's bigger than Jupiter ? Critica Limited I wish you all the best in coming up with some names for the areas in the new dotted lines. But also, kudos for hitting high grade rare earths again - beginning to look like a district. Or Solar system - you decide... #rareearthelements #CRI

As technical experts, we invest years of time, effort, and resources (sometimes decades), to be in a position to build and operate a mine. However, this investment is meaningless if we do not secure a social license to operate. It was an honour to meet Rohitesh Dhawan, President and CEO of the International Council on Mining and Metals (ICMM) at the The Melbourne Mining Club. There is nothing more important than the message Rohitesh is delivering regarding responsible and sustainable mining practices. And that is just one of the reasons why sustainable mining practices are crucial. They balance economic growth with environmental stewardship and social responsibility, ensuring that mining operations contribute positively to the environment and the communities where they are based. That community is local, regional and global. The world needs metals, we know that, but that alone is not enough for social licence to operate. That is obvious and we see that more and more. Moving forward we must acknowledge areas in which the mining industry has not upheld sufficiently high standards (either historically or present day), as well as promoting the excellent work the industry is doing currently to tackle local and global challenges, providing lasting benefits to both the planet and its people.

The vision of a safe, just and sustainable world enabled by responsibly produced minerals and metals was brought to life for the Melbourne Mining Club audience on Friday by CEO Rohitesh Dhawan in an on stage interview with the Wall Street Journal's Rhiannon Hoyle Thank you to the ICMM team for bringing this event to life and our sponsors and members for their enthusiastic involvement. It was wonderful to have our co-patron Hugh Morgan AC give the vote of thanks given he led the establishment of the Global Mining Initiative in 1999, the precursor to the ICMM today.

In the Melbourne Mining Club’s 24th year, we are delighted to provide a forum for such an engaging and forward looking discussion on mining. Thank you Roh and Rhiannon.
I could have listened all day…. What an honour to join our Chair Bruce Kelley and be hosted by the ICMM to hear President and CEO Rohitesh Dhawan share his views on key challenges and opportunities for the mining industry at the The Melbourne Mining Club. Expertly steering the conversation was The Wall Street Journal’s Rhiannon Hoyle who took us through Ro’s experience and advice in seven key areas; 1. First Nations relationships with mining; critically noting the role of the state and the need for human rights as a core foundation. 2. The use of standards; highlighting the need to broaden use, remove complexity and seek integration 3. Green market prices-there is a huge need and issue if the market is not recognising and valuing responsible mining practices 4. Build not buy; Social performance a major factor in stakeholders not supporting recent take over bids and perhaps signalling a focus back on new projects 5. Global Energy and Nature Positive Transitions; it will be a bumpy ride with short term variation but the long term direction and trajectory is clear and not changing. 6. Tailings; heartened by investors focus and industry response to tailings management as a priority 7. Biodiversity and nature positive; global, we are addressing fundamentals such as ‘What does it look like?’ with baselining and considerations across site to landscape scales and across the value chain. Behind the questions, I heard and saw core values of transparency, equality, humanity, leadership and honesty; values we need to responsibly supply the minerals our society needs… …and good humoured people willing to be in some selfies!
