The France government has long been running rounds of negotiations to rescue New Caledonian nickel industry, including drafting an agreement of support extension from the French side. Louis Mapou, the president of New Caledonia criticized the agreement as “insufficient” though passed the document to Congress for voting. 📌 Based on the draft of agreement, the France gov will cooperate with local government to 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿 𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 𝘀𝘂𝗯𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗶𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝘁 𝟮𝟬𝟬 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗲𝘂𝗿𝗼 𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿 for electricity infrastructure construction, making local nickel producers benefit from the cost side. 📌 The additional subsidiary could 𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗹 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗲𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗮, and to increase their profitability from the price war.

Given the recent geopolitical concerns around supply of uranium and net-zero mission by 2030, Uranium should make its way to Australia's strategical mineral list if not critical. Having 25% of total World uranium resource in Australia, there are much more opportunities to make our economy green and create sustainable jobs. #strategicalplanning#greenenergy

🇨🇦🤝🇪🇺 Canada and its provinces, along with the EU and its Member States, share fundamental principles and a unified perspective on energy security and the maintenance of secure industrial value chains. Notably, Canada plays a pivotal role as a key partner for Europe in providing critical raw materials such as #Copper, #Cobalt, #Graphite, #Nickel, #Uranium, which are essential for the EU's successful twin transitions. In light of these mutually beneficial relationships, it isn't very reassuring to witness certain EU Member States obstructing the ratification of CETA. Removing these barriers is crucial for fostering increased collaboration between EU-based and Canadian companies, especially those related to mining, facilitating the exchange of best practices, and promoting the development of new ventures on both sides of the Atlantic. A sincere appreciation to the Canada EU Trade and Investment Association (CEUTIA) for today’s invitation!

We are almost at the final panel of Day 3: “Critical Minerals, Decarbonisation, Infrastructure and Geopolitics: is Africa on the right path?” here at Investing in African Mining Indaba. Esteemed panellists: President of the U.S. Export-Impact Bank (founded by FDR) Reta Jo Lewis, Esq., Mzila Mthenjane the Chair of the Minerals Council of South Africa, and chaired by Timothy Schultz at Brunswick Group👍🏻 Great discussion on this mammoth set of issues. On the table for discussion (nb practically everything!): issues of consultation, security of supply, collaboration over competition, trains and roads, beneficiation, infrastructure development, policy direction, rail policies, regional collaboration, transparency, ppps.. #lobitocorridor #geopolitics #greentransition

Canada officially granted Nunavut control of its vast reserves of gold, diamonds, iron, cobalt, and rare earth metals, potentially stimulating exploration and growth. #canada #naturalresources #preciousmetals #trending

Risk aversion is likely to leave major Western miners lagging in a race to tap Africa's reserves of critical raw materials that has gathered pace now Middle Eastern oil powers have begun to emulate China's years of investment on the continent.

The U.S. #CriticalMineralsSecurityAct and the EU's #CriticalRawMaterialsAct both signify major steps towards ensuring #sustainablesupplychains for #criticalrawmaterials. The U.S. bill is a response to China's dominance in the sector and focuses on safeguarding #supplychains, promoting domestic mining, and encouraging investment in allied countries. The EU's act, meanwhile, aims to reduce dependency on imports and enhance internal #supplychains. Both represent a shift towards more #resilient and diversified #rawmaterial sourcing strategies, crucial for industries reliant on these materials. Each legislation, in its way, underscores the growing global emphasis on securing #stable, #sustainable #rawmaterialsupplies.

The West needs to produce more critical minerals. Here’s how the Pentagon should help Geological and technological obstacles will require subsidies to overcome.   Western governments are seeking to build more mines and refineries for critical minerals, given their necessity in not only clean energy technologies like electric vehicle batteries but also defense applications like hypersonic glide vehicles. Australia, Canada, and the United States have been particularly active in funding domestic mineral projects, and the European Union is set to begin vetting mineral projects soon. But beyond capital challenges (and local opposition), the West’s paucity of mines and refineries faces structural realities: geology and technology.    To address these challenges, Western governments should continue offering funding such as grants for drill programs and loans for processing facilities, but they should prioritize mineral extraction and processing capacity that supply their defense industries.   https://lnkd.in/ePFg7_fU   M2i Global Corporation is an engineering, research, and services company that brings together people, technology, and solutions from across government, business, not-for-profits, and academia to provide guaranteed access and availability to critical minerals and metals for the purpose of national defense and economic security.    We are creating the sustainable path to securing our economic and military resilience, by ending our dependence on imports from foreign nations.    #m2icorp #m2i #minerals #metals #otcqb #mtwo Doug Cole Jeffrey W.
