We are pleased to share that a collaboration to bring critical minerals learning resources into UK schools has been awarded funding support by the Department for Business and Trade. This joint project between Future Is Mine CIC and Minerals Matter, with industry support from SLR, will deliver teaching resources on critical minerals supply chains to UK schools starting April 2025. Ben Lepley comments, “This exciting opportunity allows us to build on great work done by the European Union EIT Raw Materials’ Briefcase of Mineral Applications project that ran for several years. Our project aims to take this concept and grow a network of resources across the UK and inspire future generations to get involved in this essential industry required for the energy transition” Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eAhQBjTE #CriticalMinerals #Geoscience #MakingSustainabilityHappen
Brilliant work guys. Fantastic to see this initiative supported by UK Gov and industry. Exactly what the #UKGSA is trying to promote.
Great initiative, well done for supporting this.
Well done Ben Lepley!

1dLet's hope that this results in jobs for British geologists here in the UK! For decades, I had been looking for such work only to be treated with indifference. Hopefully, now, the tiide has turned.
