Copper, gold, lithium, zinc, and more: The United States sits on a wealth of natural resources, as outlined in a study by S&P Global in June. The value of selected resources—many of which are essential for the energy transition—is estimated to exceed $8 trillion. This places the U.S. roughly on par with Canada and Australia. The latter is one of the leading lithium producers, even though the reserves in the U.S. are twice as large, according to the S&P study. This means the country is not fully tapping into its mineral potential. Two reasons for this are lengthy approval processes and insufficient investment.

When we talk about ways the minerals industry can stay ever-growing and evolving, we must discuss strategies for improving mineral recovery. Put plainly, this means upgrading our refining processes to ensure our efforts reap the most saleable minerals. Investing in innovations will improve safety, sustainability, and efficiency. Our progressive minerals industry is made possible by our constantly improving mineral recovery strategies, technologies, and processes. The minerals industry has been able to adopt a great many technologies that improve the industry's efficiency.

CEO, Joe Kaderavek, was invited to participate in the Western Australia Battery and Critical Minerals Strategy Stakeholder Forum on 9 February 2024, hosted by WA Premier Roger Cook. We applaud the government for listening to not just existing, but new producers and consider options to maintain momentum in Australia’s #criticalminerals sector. Our proposed Cobalt-Nickel Refinery is aligned with the State's Strategy to establish WA as a national #batterymaterials production hub. The Refinery aims to have the capacity to produce #cobalt and #nickel sulphate (3,000 tpa cobalt and 1,000 tpa nickel metal equivalent) in Stage One. The Refinery will be: - Australia’s first cobalt sulphate refinery - a world-scale cobalt sulphate production facility that can be expanded at a relatively low incremental capital cost - targeted for first production from mid/late 2025 https://lnkd.in/e-7j344x #energytransition #electricvehicles #lithiumionbatteries #criticalrawmaterials #CleanEnergyTransition #mining #miningnews #Minerals #asx #nometalsnotransition

The clean energy transition is at the top of many industry's minds and priorities—especially the minerals industry. After all, our industry is highly responsible for making the transition possible. The materials needed for clean energy technologies to function will be sourced from the minerals industry. And, as the image shows, a staggering 3 billion tons of metals will be necessary in the coming years to fulfil this key goal! Meeting this demand is the driver for bringing innovative technologies and ideas to the forefront. #Innovation #Sustainability #Mining #MiningIndustry #Minerals

Indonesian Energy Minister designates 22 strategic minerals in new decree Indonesian Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Arifin Tasrif has issued a new Ministerial Decree No 69.K/MB.01/MEM.B/2024, which focuses on defining the types of commodities classified as strategic minerals. The decision to issue this decree stems from the government's commitment to promoting domestic industrial development and leveraging mineral resources for national and international competitiveness. By establishing criteria and classifications for strategic minerals, the decree aims to guide mineral governance towards enhancing domestic value addition through mineral downstream industry development. According to the decree, strategic ... ... read complete story at https://lnkd.in/gKhUDthB #miningnewsindonesia #miningnews #newsminingindonesia #newsmining #newsmining #mining #minerals #rareearth

Critical minerals lists vary by country, but the criteria for selection is similar globally according to Natural Resources Canada (NRC): 1. have few or no substitutes 2. are strategic and somewhat limited commodities, or 3. are increasingly concentrated in terms of extraction and, even more, in terms of processing location. NRC also notes that the list can change over time depending on supply and demand, technological developments and the evolving needs of society. #mining #energytransition #criticalminerals

🇨🇦 Marilyn Spink of the Canadian Critical Minerals & Materials Alliance (C2M2A) reflects on the need to change how we view and approach critical minerals supply chains. "We need to stop talking about commodities because the energy transition is going to need un-commoditized specialty materials that meet a technical specification, meet environmental and social performance criteria. ...if you build the midstream you are tied at the hip to your customer and you don't ever hear mining talk about customer..." 🎥 Watch the full video here | https://lnkd.in/gFYxMb4J #criticalminerals #supplychains #industry #energytransition #automotive #pdac2024 #mining #exploration
