China put export controls on some niche metals used in the electronics, aviation and defense industries Tuesday as it retaliated in a targeted way to US tariffs. Beijing imposed export curbs on materials related to #tungsten, #molybdenum, tellurium, bismuth and indium, after Trump fired the opening salvo in the trade war - hitting all US imports from China with a blanket 10% tariff. China is the No. 1 supplier of these metals. While there are alternative sources being developed outside of the country, it could take time to add meaningful volumes to the global market. Concerns about Beijing’s grip on critical minerals has grown sharply since it placed gallium and germanium under stricter government oversight in 2023 and added antimony to its list of restrictions last year. That resulted in higher prices for the three niche but vital metal markets. https://lnkd.in/gnd9xEkF #mining

It’s Fun Fact Friday again at Future Is Mine, and today we’re talking about tellurium. Fun fact: Tellurium has an odd effect on humans. Eating only a very small amount will give you stinky garlic breath! Tellurium is a relatively rare metal and obtained as a by-product of copper refining. The top 3 producers are China (67%), Japan (12%) and Russia (12%). It is a small market, with 640 tonnes produced in 2023. To learn more about tellurium and other critical minerals, visit our Critical Minerals 101 over at www.futureismine.co.uk Image description: A man has smelt a bad smell and is holding his nose and wafting the air with his hand. #tellurium #GarlicBreath #funfactfriday #criticalminerals #outreach

📢𝗖𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗴𝗲𝗼𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀 𝗴𝗮𝗽 📢 A collaboration to bring critical minerals learning resources into UK schools has been awarded funding by the Department for Business and Trade. The joint project between Future Is Mine CIC and Minerals Matter, with industry support from SLR Consulting, will deliver teaching resources on critical minerals supply chains to UK schools from April 2025. Critical minerals are essential ingredients in our modern lives and central to economic growth. They are found in everything from our smartphones and laptops, to our cars, airplanes and clean energy technologies. Building resilient critical mineral supply chains in the UK is threatened by looming skills gaps, however, with the number of young people choosing to study geosciences in the UK falling steadily over the past decade. “The role of critical minerals in the advancement of society cannot be overstated, and these materials will only grow in importance as we develop more sustainable industries,” comments Jessica Roberts, Co-Founder of Future Is Mine. “Awareness of geosciences and mining is generally low. This funding from the Department for Business & Trade enables us to bring fantastic resources into schools and showcase the role critical minerals play in building a more sustainable world.” “We are thrilled to have the opportunity to share these carefully resourced sessions developed in partnership with geoscience specialists,” Loren Crisp, Co-Founder of Future Is Mine, comments. “The activities support teachers to ensure pupils develop a greater depth of understanding in this field and learn about the wealth of career opportunities that they may not be aware of.” Ben Lepley of SLR Consulting adds: “This exciting opportunity allows us to build on great work done by the European Union EIT RawMaterials’ RISBriefcase of Mineral Applications project that ran for several years. Our project aims to take this concept and grow a network of resources across the UK and inspire future generations to get involved in this essential industry required for the energy transition.” “Minerals Matter are delighted to be supporting this project, which will provide valuable resources for our volunteer ambassadors to use when engaging with young people in education settings. It is so important to share information about the critical nature of the industry with our future workforce, and these resources will provide an interactive way to do this,” comments Hannah Higley, Future Careers Manager at Minerals Matter. The critical minerals resources will be available to schools from April 2025.

In 2024, our Somerset build made incredible strides forward. Last year marked a period of amazing progress on our journey to establish the UK’s largest battery cell manufacturing facility. From repurposing materials sustainably to installing vital infrastructure, our site is quickly taking shape as a world-class facility. Our teams worked tirelessly to prepare the site, completing key groundwork that will serve as the foundation for a greener future. From laying strong foundations to creating spaces for our teams to collaborate on-site, every milestone represents a commitment to innovation, sustainability, and teamwork. As we continue to build, each achievement brings us closer to our goal of powering future generations with clean, green energy solutions. Watch the video to see our incredible progress and the milestones we’ve achieved so far!
