How can the mining industry meet the rising demand for critical minerals? Carly Leonida's article in The Intelligent Miner focuses on the urgent need to rethink our approach to sourcing essential resources. As traditional methods struggle to keep pace with increasing demand, alternative solutions like Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) are gaining traction. Kevin Kammerzell, Vice President of Mining, Minerals and Metals at Stantec, highlights, "The world needs to expand its idea of what constitutes a 'resource', and it needs to do so quickly." Mining companies must adapt by leveraging innovative technologies and exploring non-traditional resources to bridge the supply-demand gap. This includes mining industrial waste and reprocessing tailings, as seen with Rio Tinto's tellurium production from copper waste. The industry's transformation will require substantial investment and a commitment to sustainability to ensure long-term success.

Innovation in Critical Mineral Sourcing: Time to Think Creatively. As traditional mining struggles to keep pace with rising demand for critical minerals, Carly Leonida teams up with Greg Gillian and Kevin Kammerzell from Stantec to explore alternative approaches. With technologies like direct lithium extraction (DLE), the industry can unlock new sources of metals and bridge the gap between supply and demand. From tapping lithium brines to reprocessing tailings, these innovative methods offer opportunities to enhance sustainability and efficiency in the mining sector. The future of sourcing critical minerals lies in thinking outside the box. https://lnkd.in/ge7DQAXP #theintelligentminer #mining #criticalminerals #directlithiumextraction #innovation #sustainability #cleantech #metalsindustry

This week's top stories from the Australian Mining website: A new report from CSIRO has detailed how Australia could build its own mineral refining industry. #AustralianMining #csiro #research #development #demonstration #investment #report #criticalminerals #resources #mineral #refining #processing #industry #energytransition

Limited mineral processing and related manufacturing means starting at the bottom of the hill (mountain) for global competition in clean energy, the defense industrial base and numerous key sectors.

Unlocking unprecedented growth in the mining industry! Green minerals' demand could create a $10 trillion market by 2050. To seize this opportunity, miners must embrace new practices and thinking. Years of underinvestment demand strategic choices. Expanding production is the key to reaping benefits in the clean-energy market. Discover transformative investments for long-term growth in our latest article - https://lnkd.in/gR9ZntaR The time is now to change how you approach strategic planning. #MiningGrowth #GreenMinerals #StrategicPlanning Thank you to our authors for their contributions! Thomas Vogt, Duncan Melville, CFA, Elton Parker, Brian O'Malley, and Peter Clearkin

As the mining industry gathers in #CapeTown for #MiningIndaba, my colleagues Thomas Vogt, Duncan Melville, CFA, Elton Parker, Brian O'Malley and Peter Clearkin have published a great paper around unlocking growth for mining players. Key messages: 1) Miners have an unparalleled opportunity to supercharge their growth—but to capitalize on this potential, they must invest in new practices and ways of thinking. 2) Demand for green minerals is expected to create hundreds of billions in new value during the next several years, with some estimates projecting that green-metal purchases could reach $10 trillion by 2050. 3) But years of underinvestment leave most miners with expensive choices to make. To reap the benefits of the clean-energy market, most will need to expand production output by several times today’s levels. 4) The right investments can be transformative and help miners secure lucrative, long-term growth, though determining what those bets are will require a different type of planning than most miners are accustomed to. 5) The future is bright, but to avail themselves of it, mining organizations need to fundamentally change how they approach strategic planning.

We recently published a report that outlines a clear path toward urgent and meaningful progress in responsible #mining. This report is based on a survey of over 400 leaders and influential professionals from 18 different countries. Check it out below
