On April 11, the Mandela Mining Precinct (MMP), backed by the Department of Science and Innovation’s (DSI’s) Circular Innovation South Africa fund, unveiled the South African Circular Minerals and Metals Initiative (SACMMI). "The initiative aims to expedite circular interventions in the #miningsector through science, technology, and innovation," states MMP director Julie Courtnage. SACMMI aligns with a key theme of the government’s Science, Technology, and Innovation (STI) Decadal Plan (2022-2032), part of the DSI’s strategy to foster research, innovation, and address societal #challenges over a decade.

via MiningNews.net Pilbara Minerals Limited chief development officer for the last 18 months, ex-Macquarie man John Stanning, couldn't resist the temptation to over-egg things when talking up Pilbara's agreed all-scrip takeover of Latin Resources Limited. The A$583 million/20c a share offer (including some option conversions) is a whopping 57% premium to #LRS's 12.7c a share 10-day VWAP in a lithium market still struggling to find a bottom. So, there was always going to be a temptation to over-egg just what a great catch Latin is with its pre-development Salinas #lithium project in Brazil in Mina Gerais state. Since its discovery in late 2022, Salinas has grown to a world scale 77.7Mt at 1.24% lithium oxide. Read more: https://loom.ly/pXlV-AQ #LatinResources #ASX

In July, Non-Executive Director of Pantera Minerals Ltd, Tim Goldsmith, spoke to more than 150 guests at the JMM Investor Lunch in Noosa about the latest developments in the lithium brine project in Arkansas, USA. Tim highlighted: - The Strategic Location in Arkansas: Pantera Minerals holds over 25,000 acres in the lithium-rich Smackover Formation, positioning them alongside major industry players like ExxonMobil and Albemarle. - High-Grade Lithium Potential: The company's assets in the western part of Arkansas feature lithium concentrations of 300+ ppm, comparable to significant projects in the Lithium Triangle. - Cost-Effective Lithium Exploration: The company's focus on oilfield brines, known for being at the low end of the cost curve, positions Pantera advantageously in the lithium market. "The company is still in the early stages, with a relatively low market cap, surrounded by much larger competitors, but strategically positioned next to industry giants like Albemarle and Standard Lithium." https://lnkd.in/gpD3rvgS

Watch Vincent Algar share why joining Tennant Minerals as CEO at the beginning of February this year was an easy decision to make. Once I looked at the previous work that had been done on the project, a few things that attracted me were not only the intersections that they'd achieved, but also the potential scale along strike to expand the deposit and other deposits. So there's more discovery opportunity there, and every geologist is interested in that potential to make new discoveries. Learn more: https://loom.ly/3CC9nPk #TMS #TennantMinerals #ASX

At #AMERoundup2024, Honourable Premier David Eby addressed an audience of mining industry leaders to address B.C.’s new #criticalminerals strategy. As part of this speech, Premier Eby delved into the Energy & Mines Digital Trust project, highlighting how digital trust technology has the potential to benefit B.C.’s mining industry.    After two years of testing and technical development, Energy & Mines Digital Trust is excited to have two credentials in production for mining operators. Having our effort recognized by the Premier is a great honour, and our team is hard at work exploring how best to continue to adapt, refine, and expand the use of this technology for mines.     This milestone is possible thanks to the contribution and expertise of our collaborators: PwC, Hudbay Minerals Inc., Mining Association of Canada, Teck Resources Limited, Envirochem Services Inc. and Northern Block   Watch Premier Eby’s opening remarks here: https://lnkd.in/gw9rSj7a  #digitaltrust #opensource #digitalidentity #supplychain #digitalcredentials

“We're never going to out-compete them in a race to the bottom on cost with conventional battery materials. We need to be investing in next-generation products that can leapfrog the status quo.” Last week at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Global Energy Institute's Critical Minerals Summit, our Head of Government Affairs, Alex Fitzsimmons, joined industry experts and government officials to discuss how new battery technologies and policy reform can reduce our domestic reliance on critical minerals from Chinese-dominated supply chains. #energysecurity #criticalminerals #supplychain
