Critical Production’s Sarah Gordon went to visit Bunker Hill Mining Corp. in northern Idaho. This mine, famous for the silver it once produced, will reopen after 4 decades. Our improved understanding of how to mine will ensure:  - the environment will be protected; - the community will be supported both while rock is mined and into the future; - the latest technology will be used to mine in the safest possible way. Good luck Bunker Hill on the reopening, and thank you for such a great visit! #mining #geology #silvermining #idaho

🇪🇺 In our CMIA EU Series, Ludivine Wouters, a critical minerals and EU policy expert highlights that the CRMA is not effective as a mineral governance legislation, but it does set a direction and targets that will drive policy decisions. How effective is the EU’s Critical Raw Materials Act? The Act tries to: ✅ Create a holistic and unified approach to domestic markets and minerals diplomacy  ✅ Promote a Team Europe approach focusing on defining a leadership position  ✅ Pick winners vs taking a blanket approach as seen with the US Inflation Reduction Act Watch the full interview with Jeff Townsend and Ludivine here |  https://lnkd.in/gKWHjdSM #CMIAEUSeries #criticalminerals #criticalraw materials #industry #mining #exploration #recycling #supplychains #automotive #policy #EU
