[New Research] 📑 There is currently a lack of transparency and accountability in critical mineral supply chains, which not only undermines the mining sector’s ability to contribute to sustainable development on the African continent, but also poses a serious threat to the success of the global energy transition. 💡 In this policy insight, Adrian Joseph explores, among other issues, why addressing the governance risks associated with mineral supply chains is essential to developing responsible supply chains that will allow African countries to develop their economies. #ClimateChange #JustEnergyTransition #Extractives #MininginAfrica Read the full report 👇

Jan Kwak FAusIMM, Managing Director at Hatch, has released the title and synopsis of his fascinating keynote at AusIMM’s Critical Minerals Conference 2024 next week.   Presentation title: "New flowsheets for a new era" Synopsis excerpt: Society continues to require metals and materials as it transitions to a new, more sustainable economy. The energy transition requires the mining industry to supply a range of critical minerals, but it can’t do it the way it has been done in the past.   Read full synopsis: https://lnkd.in/gqihDtxi #AusIMM #CriticalMinerals2024 #CriticalMinerals

I have the pleasure of presenting the UK Case Study on Critical Minerals Webinar ⛏ for RICS on Monday 25th March at 13:00 until 14:00. As part of the session, I will look to provide insights on: - The latest on the UK's Critical Minerals Strategy? - How the government is planning to support critical minerals. - What role do Chartered Minerals Surveyors play? - What mining is being undertaken and of what minerals? To find out more and book your place, please see the webinar details here: https://lnkd.in/ebjpyGCn. #RICS #MineralExploration #ESG #CriticalMinerals #CharteredSurveyor #GovernmentPolicy #Lithium #Nickel #Tungsten #Mining #CPD

It is a huge shame that most folks missed the recent launch of the International Resource Panel's Global Resources Outlook - there is much wisdom in there. Here is a London Mining Network summary of what it says about minerals / energy transition minerals here ... My concluding comment - “It’s vital that people understand the impact that could result from our increasing demand for minerals and metals, both in general and in relation to the energy transition. We are on a pathway to an unjust transition dominated by a corporate agenda to increase extraction. As such the GRO does a great job of highlighting key concerns and proposing solutions that address the root causes of that increasing demand. Civil society now needs to take up these challenges, with the call of affected communities at the heart of how we can collectively ensure well-being for all on a finite planet.” https://lnkd.in/eAzxtS4t

The European Partnership for Responsible Minerals (EPRM) works to improve conditions for mine workers and communities in Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas (CAHRAs). By promoting responsible mining practices, EPRM ensures that minerals are sourced ethically. ✅ Why is EPRM important? It supports the European Union (EU) Conflict Minerals Regulation by helping more mines meet the high standards set by the OECD Due Diligence Guidance. This guidance helps companies check their supply chains to ensure minerals are sourced responsibly without contributing to conflicts or unfair practices. ✨ EPRM is about more than just regulations; it’s about making a real difference in the lives of those in mining communities.
