Ensuring the security of #copper supply goes beyond investing in new mining. In this month’s #WMHorizons, we look at why stages two and three of the supply chain – smelting/refining and semi-fabricating – must not be overlooked. Read the insight here: https://okt.to/LUzhun

One of the most important topics in mining today.

Challenging #4g #5g #Wifi #connectivity solutions are not new at POYNTING Antennas. Harsh environments with poor signal reception...that is where we excell!

I had the pleasure of exchanging insights with Arnaud Douville and F. Nicanor Berola in Buenos Aires, discussing critical mineral projects for energy transition. The event brought together partners and associates of leading law firms, investors, government officials, and academics from the region. South America has long been a major exporter of minerals, but the conversation has shifted: How can we mitigate environmental risks during this mining rush while capitalizing on investment opportunities and staying competitive? What lessons can we learn from other countries in the region to address common challenges? 💡 ESG-Focused Investments: Investors are increasingly focused on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors, reshaping mining’s future. I recall a project that took 20 years, involving road construction through the Amazon. These same minerals are critical to environmental protection, but such projects are losing appeal for ESG-conscious investors. 🔋 New Technologies: In Brazil, BIM, digital twins, and IoT are enhancing project sustainability. With around 20 research centers, we’re seeing progress in safe decommissioning and water use reduction, addressing key industry challenges. These technologies are expected to gradually lower extraction costs and improve sustainability, though more investment is needed to fully realize their potential. 📜 Regulatory Progress: While improvement is needed, Brazil has made strides in regulation over the past decades. The creation of agencies and long-term policies has attracted foreign investments in strategic (and now successful) sectors like renewable energy. With the Brazilian National Mining Agency gaining relevance, there is optimism for a mining sector that combines resource management with technological innovation. However, effective coordination between federal and state agencies remains crucial. 🔋 Synergy Between Mining and Renewable Energy: Brazil’s mining sector, a major consumer of clean energy, is driving renewable growth. Regulations on remote energy generation are key to this synergy. Battery and solar panel manufacturers are seeking stable mineral supplies via offtake agreements or direct investment. 🤝 Nearshoring: South America has a unique opportunity through friendshoring to strengthen its role in global supply chains. To seize these opportunities, it’s crucial to align diplomatic policies, strengthen international cooperation, and establish strategic partnerships. We have the resources and the capacity, but success will ultimately depend on stability and the adoption of long-term public policies hat promote both investor confidence and sustainability. #SustainableMining #EnergyTransition #Nearshoring #CriticalMinerals #MineraisCríticos #ESG #InovaçãoTecnológica

Wood Mackenzie experts have released a report on the importance of China and its prime position in the industrial processes of downstream processing and semi-manufacturing of #copper to succeed in the #energytransition.🌏 Informed discussion and useful insights such as this are fundamental to guide our global energy targets and reconcile them with industrial capabilities.
