What are 'critical minerals'? Do you struggle to explain this complicated topic to your stakeholders and communities? ICYMI - super handy fact sheet Mia Pepper and I produced for Publish What You Payand Mineral Policy Institute All 4 fact sheets are available here https://lnkd.in/gcpsFKyZ #2 What are mineral sands? #3 What are rare earths? #4 What is lithium?

Where are all of those minerals going to come from then?

Our comprehensive Ring of Fire report highlights the significant potential for critical minerals development in Ontario's Ring of Fire region. This area, rich in essential minerals, is home to several key properties, including Eagle's Nest, Ring of Fire, and other prospects. Eagle's Nest, owned by Wyloo Metals, is at the feasibility stage and boasts exposure to Copper, Gold, Nickel, Palladium, and Platinum. The region also features promising prospects like those owned by Canterra Minerals and Juno Corp, each with substantial mineral resources. Wyloo Metals' Ring of Fire - Noront/Sureshot project further emphasizes the area's potential with its diverse commodity exposure. Explore these properties and their strategic importance in our latest Ring of Fire Report.

According to Mining Journal's research, since 2020 more than 80% of the US government's nearly $2 billion publicly announced funding for critical mineral financing has gone to three minerals. #Rareearths, #graphite and #lithium. $589 million went to rare earths alone. 💸 Rainbow is highlighted as one of the important companies receiving funding from the US government (U.S. International Development Finance Corporation) via our backers TechMet Ltd, showing the importance of investing in projects outside of China to develop independent and ethical #supplychains of #criticalminerals, and the poised position of Rainbow to become one of the only producers of all four separated magnet rare earth oxides (including Nd, Pr, Dy and Tb). 📈 🌍 https://lnkd.in/gKwDjBss

Indicator Minerals in Porphyry Copper Deposits or Epithermal Systems. These indicator minerals are very important for the overall aspect of fertility in porphyry copper deposits. There are several key factors that we use to determine if an element is a key indicator, such as oxidation state, temperature of the forms, water pressure, metals, chlorite, sulfur in the case of apatites, and there are many different minerals and key minerals that have been investigated in the last 10 to 20 years. #Exploration #MineralExploration #Copper #MininginPeru #PorphyryPotential #MiningExploration #EpithermalMineralization #PorphyryPotential #GeologicalPotential #MineralizationStudy #Epithermalsystem #lowsulfidation #highsulfidation

In case you missed it here's our documentary "Critical Minerals, Critical to who?" The documentary explores the situation around the Bikita Lithium Mine Sinomine Mine. It reveals the sorry state of the communities living near this lithium mining operation. The documentary provides a glimpse into the lived experiences of those affected by the mining activities in this area. The documentary also highlights some of the social and environmental costs associated with the growing global demand for critical minerals like lithium. https://lnkd.in/dx_MYVga
