Caroline Hands, General Manager of Human Resources, Copper for Rio Tinto, recently participated in an employer panel at the second annual mining conference of the United Steelworkers of America in Minneapolis. During her remarks, Caroline emphasized the importance of copper being designated as a critical mineral by the United States Geological Survey (USGS). She advocated for streamlining the permitting process in the US. She highlighted that the US has the second longest mine development timeline globally, with an average of 29 years, second only to Zambia. At Resolution Copper, we value our neutrality agreement with the Steelworkers and are committed to fostering partnership and collaboration to advance critical minerals projects vital to the renewable energy transition.

Our Executive Chairman Andre Labuschagne joined a panel of experts at Austmine’s Copper to the World conference, where more than 500 mining industry players from Australia and overseas came together in Adelaide. Andre and other industry, government and sustainability experts discussed ‘Building a World Class Copper Nation’ and the key factors that will determine Australia’s ability to become a leading producer and exporter of copper on a global stage. Andre said, “There’s no doubt that copper has an important role to play nationally and globally as governments and industry work towards a renewable energy future. “Right now, copper demand is predicted to outstrip supply in the coming years. For Australia to play a key role in meeting this demand, it requires explorers, miners, finance providers, government and communities working together to expedite copper discovery and extraction.” Find out more about our cornerstone copper operation Tritton (NSW), our copper-gold deposit Barbara (North Qld), and our advanced copper-zinc development project Stockman (Vic). 👉 https://lnkd.in/gaZdic_x Panelists and moderator: Adele Seymon, Dr Ariella Helfgott, Jacqui M., Richard Laufmann, Dallas Wilkinson #Copper #Mining #Conference #Australia #RenewableEnergy #CopperDemand #WeAreAeris

The Australian Critical Minerals Conference (#ACMC) kicks off in #Brisbane AMEC Chief Executive Warren Pearce joined a panel discussion on "What government support is needed to accelerate growth in the critical minerals sector?" A timely discussion on the back of the Federal Government's 2024/25 budget announcement, to support the critical minerals sector, with $7 billion committed over the next decade for all 31 critical minerals to drive downstream processing in Australia. This comes via a ten per cent Production Tax Incentive (PTI), aimed to enable the nation to realise the full value of our natural resources. Moderating the panel was Bernadette Currie from Sedgman Pty Limited and fellow panelists included Helen Degeling from Cobalt Blue Holdings, Darryl Cuzzubbo from Arafura Rare Earths Limited , Rebecca Tomkinson from The Chamber of Minerals and Energy of Western Australia, Gavin Loyden from QEM Limited (ASX:QEM) and Rebecca Knights from Department for Energy and Mining, South Australia. Thanks to Quest Events for putting on a great conference. #CriticalMinerals #PTI

Is the Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA) adopted by the EU enough for Europe to reduce its dependence on China and ensure the availability of raw materials necessary for the energy transition? Svemin's CEO and Euromines board member Maria Sunér discusses the topic in an interview with Renewables Now. Some highlights: 🔹 the CRMA is a very good first step, but won’t be enough on its own. 🔹 Europe needs to discuss long-term targets beyond 2030 🔹 Even if Europe reaches the ambitious targets in the CRMA, it will still need allies 🔹 Investment in exploration should be increased 🔹 Regulatory and financial hurdles must be addressed to develop a sustainable mining industry in Europe.
Raw materials are crucial for the energy transition and the EU has adopted the Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA) in a bid to secure these essential resources and reduce Europe's heavy reliance on supplies from China. However, according to Maria Sunér, CEO of the Swedish mining association Svemin and a Member of the Executive Committee at Euromines, the CRMA is just the beginning. In a recent interview with Renewables Now, Suner emphasised that while the CRMA is a positive initial step, it won’t be enough on its own. She highlighted the need for long-term targets beyond 2030, reliable trade allies, and increased investment in exploration. Suner also pointed out regulatory and financial hurdles that must be addressed to develop a sustainable mining industry in Europe.

For Southeast Europe, a region rich in critical raw materials (Serbia alone ranks third in Europe in terms of reserves of lithium), the EU's Critical Raw Material Act is economically, and politically, of key importance. In an interview for Renewables Now Ltd, Maria Sunér talks about the need for long-term targets beyond 2030, increased investments in exploration and reliable trade allies. The latter hits straight home, with part of the Western Balkans caught up in close ties with China. #criticalrawmaterials #china #southeasteurope

🌟Exciting news for British Columbia's future in sustainable energy! In a recent article by CBC News, it highlighted a new study by the Mining Association of B.C. of a monumental opportunity: more than a dozen proposed critical-mineral mines could generate an average of $1 billion in revenue annually, including Northisle's North Island Project. These mines are integral to the global shift towards #renewableenergy sources, being pivotal for technologies like #electricvehicles, #solarpanels, and #windturbines. As B.C. steps up to be a leader in the world's energy transition, this development promises significant economic growth and positions the province as a key player in environmentally responsible mineral production. NorthIsle Copper and Gold aims to be part of this generational chance to shape a greener, more prosperous future! 🌱🔋🌍 Read full article here: https://lnkd.in/gFC5szuX #copper #exploration #criticalminerals #energytransition #decarbonization #investing #sustainablemining #economicgrowth

This May, we're celebrating BC Mining Month and the exciting role critical minerals play in building a greener future! ☀️♻️ BC is a leader in supplying these essential materials for clean technologies, while Vancouver Petrographics is proud to be part of a sector committed to the highest environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards. Here's a glimpse into how critical minerals are driving the clean energy revolution: Imagine cruising in an electric car (EV): The lithium, nickel, cobalt, and graphite in your EV battery were responsibly mined, reducing reliance on fossil fuels for cleaner transportation. Picture yourself basking in the glow of energy-efficient LEDs: The critical mineral lithium plays a part here too, along with reducing overall energy consumption. Think about the wind turbines spinning in the breeze: Neodymium and dysprosium, critical minerals, create the powerful magnets that keep them operating efficiently. Ever wondered how we store all that renewable energy? Vanadium, another critical mineral, plays a key role in safe and long-lasting energy storage solutions. ♻️ At Vancouver Petrographics, we're proud to be part of a sector that prioritizes environmental responsibility, social well-being, and collaboration with Indigenous communities. Join us in celebrating BC's world-class mining industry and its commitment to a greener future! #Mining #CriticalMinerals #BCMiningMonth #CleanEnergy #SustainableMining #VancouverPetrographics #VanPetro

We are excited to see significant progress on the proposed BC-Yukon grid connection, a key move to strengthen the energy infrastructure that supports the mining industry in the Yukon Territory. The Government of Yukon is moving forward with pre-feasibility studies for a 765-kilometre high-voltage transmission line to connect the Yukon grid to the North American power grid through B.C. These studies will be supported by up to $40 million in conditional funding from Natural Resources Canada’s Critical Minerals Infrastructure Fund Program (“CMIF”), pending final due diligence. Enhanced energy infrastructure in the Territory creates opportunities for Fireweed’s projects in the Macpass District: improved project economics, reduced GHGs, and better overall environmental performance. This is a great day for critical minerals in the Yukon and in Canada. https://hubs.li/Q02QF49K0
