⭐ Delighted to announce Tivan has been included in the Australian Critical Minerals Prospectus! The Prospectus is a key initiative by Austrade to attract international investment in Australia's critical minerals projects. It features more than 55 investment-ready opportunities across the country. These projects are poised to address future production shortages, strengthen supply chain security and support the transition to a net zero future. 💬 Quotes attributable to the Minister for Resources, Madeleine King "Critical minerals are vital for the global efforts to reduce emissions and becoming increasingly important inputs for the defence industry." "Australia's resources industry has been developed with foreign investment, and we need overseas investment to build our critical minerals industry." 🔗 Head to the Prospectus here: https://lnkd.in/gKSV4xhE

Earlier this week, Amos Hochstein, the White House Senior Adviser on Energy and Investment, advocated for sourcing critical minerals from countries such as the Democratic Republic of Congo and Zambia to meet the demand for clean energy infrastructure and artificial intelligence. Hochstein believes sourcing critical minerals from the Congo and Zambia are a viable alternative to will reduce the world's reliance on China.   We encourage Hochstein to look no further than within his own borders for critical mineral development before looking to countries far and away with poor environmental track records and little to non-existent labor standards. Excellent projects across the U.S. including Twin Metals Minnesota LLC, Resolution Copper, NewRange Copper Nickel's NorthMet project, and Ambler Metals LLC have all faced delays under the current administration's watch. If we're truly serious about lessening our dependence on China for Critical Minerals, why wouldn't we start here at home? Read more via the Reuters link below: https://lnkd.in/gQKybFFh

Here is a map of Australia's #CriticalMinerals operations. Australia is rich in these resources. Supporting the sector could stabilise global supply and boost the Australian economy. The A$22.7 billion Future Made in Australia package includes support for “green metals” and $8.8 billion for critical minerals.

It is fantastic the Minister is building strong relationships with our strategic partners. As well as looking to Australia for critical minerals, the US is also absolutely desperate for our uranium; we could be a trusted supplier of uranium to the US; our closest strategic ally. Australia may or may not make the decision to build its own reactors. That’s an issue that the federal election will help clarify. But the rest of the world is certainly tripling down on its nuclear ambitions and needs huge amounts of uranium to fuel it. Uranium that we have. Lots of it. Just waiting to be exported. Now the US doesn’t yet technically designate uranium a critical mineral as they designate it an energy fuel. But that doesn’t mean they aren’t desperate for uranium supply from politically aligned nations. And it will be interesting to see if that classification changes in the near term as the Russian uranium ban comes into effect… We should act now to take up this exciting and profitable opportunity for Western Australia. And we would benefit by diversifying our economy too and ensuring our mining workforce maintains strong employment as other commodities such as nickel and iron ore have down times. Perhaps policy makers and union leaders should ask those workers whose jobs are under threat if they would prefer the uranium mining ban to continue or if they would be interested in working in the new growth industry to help deliver zero carbon energy to the world.

Llewelyn Hughes examined the relationship between critical minerals and resource security and then considered Australia’s current strategy toward the critical minerals sector as well as its emerging international strategy in his essay for the NBR report "Critical Minerals: Global Supply Chains and Indo-Pacific Geopolitics": https://bit.ly/485o5wA #criticalminerals #Australia

The Gulf and the Middle East more broadly has important role to play in supplying clean energy inputs. Here’s one example amongst many: https://lnkd.in/gRpyxMyx #criticalminerals

EU ja Australia kriittisten mineraalien kumppanuuteen: "Australia and the European Union have struck an agreement to boost cooperation and investment in critical minerals, part of a drive by Western nations to loosen China’s grip on supply chains of materials essential to high-tech and green manufacturing. ...Under the MoU signed on Tuesday [May 28], Australia and the EU will look to boost investment in critical mineral projects, including joint ventures, as well as cooperating on research and innovation." #kriittisetmateriaalit #kumppanuudet #EuropeanUnion #australia https://lnkd.in/d89zwWkS
