Reliable supplies of critical raw materials are essential for the #energytransition and to ensure the competitiveness of key national industries. However, there are concerns that the UK's July 2022 Critical Minerals Strategy does not meet its purported aims. Louise Woods, Elena Guillet and Nonkululeko Zondo explore lessons from the #InflationReductionAct and opportunities for the UK to refine its critical minerals strategy in this latest article from Energy Intelligence. #mining #supplychain https://lnkd.in/g6ZCdUAf

Australia is a leading supplier of the minerals the world needs to reach net zero and the latest release of Australia's Identified Mineral Resources, published by Geoscience Australia, shows that Australia produced 27 minerals, 15 of which ranked in the top five for global supply. It also shows Australia is number one in the world in economic resources for gold, iron ore, lead, nickel, rutile, uranium, zinc and zircon. #minerals #mineralexploration #mineralprocessing #mineralresources #criticalminerals #mining

Dr Chris Vernon, Critical Minerals Lead Expert at CSIRO, discusses the promise of Australia’s critical minerals to propel the country towards a resilient and sustainable future. https://lnkd.in/eRdwWwqC #australia #criticalminerals #criticalrawmaterials #mining

The mining industry is under the spotlight with the release of the International Energy Agency (IEA)’s #GlobalCriticalMineralsOutlook for 2024. Demand for materials like cobalt and lithium is rising as low-carbon technologies begin to proliferate. Now is a make-or-break moment in whether that demand can be met sustainably. Rohitesh Dhawan, shares his thoughts in edie highlighting how ‘a race to the top’ in performance is the only way to ensure that the growth in critical minerals helps create a more just, safe and sustainable world. https://lnkd.in/e_z6SCPj

China's dominance in global mineral markets poses a critical supply risk for the US, especially for defense technology. While Washington has initiated measures to lessen dependence on China—such as engaging with resource-rich nations, promoting recycling, revising mining laws, and offering financial support for mining—achieving significant results will take time. BENS recently interviewed three industry leaders for their perspectives on this complex challenge: Jonathan Evans, President and CEO of Lithium Americas Corp.; Selina Hayes, Founder and CEO of Hayes Group International; and Anthony Weiss, Executive Director at TechMet Ltd, USA.

BENS is fortunate tonhave some real experts on critical materials, processing and mining.

Global demand for critical minerals, particularly lithium, is growing rapidly to meet clean energy and de-carbonisation objectives. Africa hosts substantial resources of critical minerals. As a result, foreign mining companies are rushing to invest in exploration and acquire mining licences. https://lnkd.in/gqr84YzH #world #west #rushing #investing #africa #critical #minerals #lithium #continent #dealing #demand #meeting #cleanenergy #decarbonisation
