Energy Transition, Critical Minerals & Mining Investment Summits’ Post

Very proud to see this come across the line! Critical minerals are at the heart of the energy transition and our national security objectives. Unfortunately, many critical mineral supply chains are concentrated in China, with few domestic mining, processing and recycling alternatives.  LPO is changing that, with billions of dollars of loans and conditional commitments already announced for critical mineral processing and recycling projects. And now LPO is announcing that its financing can be used to support critical mineral mining and extraction projects, adding an important funding tool to strengthen the key upstream sector of the domestic supply chain. This is a big win for the clean energy transition and American economic security.  https://lnkd.in/e_Fz7yxF

Exciting news from the heart of Africa!🌍🔋 Atlantic Lithium, a leading lithium exploration and development company, has achieved a significant milestone by receiving approval to list on the Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE). This approval reflects Ghana's commitment to transitioning towards electrification and meeting climate change objectives. The company's flagship project, Ewoyaa, is progressing towards production as Ghana's first lithium mine, with an annual projection of 365,000 tonnes of spodumene concentrate. Listing on the GSE aims to maximise local participation in the project and offers Ghanaian investors the opportunity to contribute to the development of the country's green minerals industry. With significant milestones on the horizon, such as concluding partnership processes and obtaining final permits, Atlantic Lithium and Ghana are leading the way towards a more sustainable and electrified future in Africa. https://lnkd.in/d-8_wd2H What opportunities do you think the listing of Atlantic Lithium on the Ghana Stock Exchange offers to local investors and the community at large? #Lithium#gold #paneldiscussion #criticalminerals #evcharging #energytransition #cobalt #nickel #graphite #ESG #mining#Mining #Digitalization #SustainableEnergy #TalentManagement #Efficiency

Kibali, Africa’s #largest #gold #producer, is neighbor to #Loncor Gold’s #Adumbi deposit, only 200 km away. Proximity to Kibali signifies Adumbi’s prospective #mined grade in pit to be similar once developed. Kibali continues to have #exploration success, and #reserve #growth. Barrick president and CEO Mark Bristow said #Kibali was built on #partnerships with its #stakeholders, notably the government and its host #communities. Based on its success, Barrick was ready to invest in new gold and copper #opportunities in the #DRC, provided the government continued to build alongside it.

Ghana's first lithium mining deal with Barari DV holds promise for economic growth and a prominent role in the global energy transition. As parliament prepares to ratify the agreement, a comprehensive review is crucial to protect the country's interests. Parliament must address five critical issues to secure long-term benefits for citizens: 🏔️ Acknowledge the environmental risks associated with lithium extraction and devise effective mitigation measures. 💰 Avoid unnecessary concessions, such as tax breaks and discounted tariffs, which could lead to revenue loss. 📈 Safeguard government revenues by introducing a lithium pricing standard and limiting interest deductions. 🔧 Promote value addition by demanding a rigorous feasibility study for the proposed lithium refinery. 🏘️ Strengthen community development obligations by establishing guidelines that guarantee sustainable benefits to host communities.

Barrick Gold Corporation's Kibali mine in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) stands as a testament to the potential for sustainable and economically beneficial mining ventures in Africa. Mark Bristow, President and CEO, has announced the company's intention to explore new gold and copper opportunities in the DRC, building on the success of Kibali, Africa's largest gold mine. The mine's strong production performance is poised for continued value creation, with plans to offset the depletion of resources with high-quality replacements. The transformation of the previously disadvantaged north-east region into a thriving economic hub underscores the positive impact of responsible mining. Barrick Gold's investment in the DRC, exceeding $5 billion, with over half spent on local contractors and suppliers, exemplifies the company's commitment to fostering local economic growth and enhancing commercial and technical skills within the community. Kibali's collaboration with the ARSP and its industry-leading local content strategy further demonstrate its dedication to community development. The mine's transition towards renewable energy, including the upcoming commissioning of a 16MW solar plant, reflects a commitment to environmental sustainability, aiming to increase renewable energy usage to 85% and support operations solely on renewable power during the rainy season. Moreover, Kibali's biodiversity preservation efforts, particularly the feasibility assessment for introducing additional white rhinos into the Garamba National Park, illustrate a holistic approach to mining that respects and protects the natural environment. Barrick Gold's exploration of new ventures in the DRC, in partnership with the government, signifies a forward-looking strategy that prioritizes sustainable development, environmental stewardship, and community empowerment. This approach not only contributes to the economic prosperity of the DRC but also sets a benchmark for responsible mining practices worldwide. #responsiblemining #communityempowerment #communitydevelopment #environmentalstewardship #sustainabledevelopment #renewableenergy #goldmining #economichub #positiveimpact #economicprosperity

Canada aims to fast-track critical mineral mine development, cutting the process from 12-15 years to 5. Minister Jonathan Wilkinson prioritizes regulatory optimization to reduce dependence on China for key minerals in EVs and renewable energy. The plan involves streamlining permitting, allocating funds to clear bureaucratic backlogs, and facilitating concurrent federal and provincial approvals. Canada also plans to support cobalt mining through tax credits, infrastructure funding, battery factory investments, aswell as establishing a loan guarantee program to engage indigenous communities in mining endeavors. Wilkinson emphasizes environmental preservation amid the accelerated process.
