Chief Operating Officer Midwest Lithium

Are the environmental requirements as stringent within Indonesia as they are within the US? Do they extract the minerals as safely and efficiently as we do in the United States? Or is it about as long as it is “not in my backyard”? We need the minerals for our modern lifestyle, and no one produces minerals as environmentally responsibly, safely and efficiently as we do in the States!

Let us not forget the estimated 500,000 mines that are abandoned in the US. With a 14,000+ still active. Agree critical mineral partnership are important if handled RESPONSIBLY but that is not always the case. While I would agree there is a tendency of foot dragging the opposite approach of “Drill Baby Drill” looks largely at profitability it is NOT enviromentally nor ethically sound.
