This quote from the assistant deputy minister with Natural Resources Canada says it all: "“If you look at Canada, we have three electric vehicle battery factories. We need about 15 new mines coming into production by 2035 to meet supply and demand for those three factories,” he said. “Since 2005, we’ve only been able to open four critical mineral mines. So we have to do this five times faster than we did before. That’s $25 billion that’s needed to achieve those goals.” Need we say more?? #CriticalMinerals #Mining

🏔 Mineral Exploration Insights: Rules for Success! Dave Lowell, regarded as one of the most accomplished "#Explorationists" of our modern era, is known for leading some of the greatest discoveries of the last century including #Escondida. According to a Mining.com article, here are Lowell's nine key rules for exploration: 1. Ore Definition: Ore is a rock that can be mined at a profit. 2. Field Discovery: Mines are found in the field, not in the office. 3. Drilling Necessity: Drilling is essential for finding mines. 4. Cost-effective Exploration: Choose cost-effective methods; precision isn't always necessary. 5. Geological Mapping: High-tech tools are less effective compared to geological mapping. 6. Comprehensive Understanding: Knowledge of mining engineering, metallurgy, mine finance, and mineral economics is crucial. 7. Accepting Low Success Rates: Exploration has low success rates; persistence is key. 8. Risk Management: Exploration involves various risks, including political and financial. 9. Independence in Planning: Freedom in planning exploration projects is vital. For more detailed insights into each of these rules, you can refer to the full article here. https://lnkd.in/gjQCZTfj #McClintockGroup #Explor #MineralExploration #Mining #JuniorMining #CriticalMinerals #Strategy

Great article from S&P Global about the potential of mining in Timor-Leste

Taranis was again mentioned in a Northern Miner article in a sobering overview of the B.C. Exploration sector. "Exploration spending in British Columbia is down by more than 45% since 2022, the biggest drop of any jurisdiction in Canada, PearTree Financial managing director Kendra Johnston said at the Energy Transition Metals Summit in Washington, D.C. in April". The Government's take on the same issue? During Premier Eby’s announcement at the Association of Mineral Explorers annual conference [January 2024], he shared exploration expenditures and mine production numbers for 2023, "reaffirming another strong year for B.C.’s mining and mineral exploration sector. Last year [2023], mineral-exploration expenditure in the province was $643.5 million, 94.1% higher than in 2018". 😧 Quit the political spin - This is proof, Premier Eby's government lives in the past (in fact 2018)....It's time to face the fact that the NDP Government has devastated the exploration/mining business in British Columbia. https://lnkd.in/dzrUgPna

Fraser institut mining exploration favorability: "The top jurisdiction in the world for investment based on the investment attractiveness index, which takes into account the impact of both policy factors and mineral endowment, is Utah, followed by Nevada (2nd), Saskatchewan (3rd), Western Australia (4th), Quebec (5th), Manitoba (6th), Arizona (7th), Northern Territory (8th), Newfoundland & Labrador (9th) and Ontario (10th)." BC is ranked 25 th. #invest#utah#nevada#mining#investment https://lnkd.in/dwXywHkU

The Department of Mineral Resources and Energy and the Industrial Development Corporation have signed a #MemorandumofAgreement officially establishing the #JuniorMining #Exploration #Fund. The establishment of this fund forms part of #SouthAfrica’s #mineral exploration #strategy.

Litchfield Minerals Limited (ASX:LMS) is pleased to announce that Lucy Creek tenement, (EL 33568) has been granted for an initial 6 year period. The Lucy Creek tenement is located approximately 400 kilometres north-east of Alice Springs and is an 'early-stage' exploration project that encompasses an area of 791.64 square kilometres. The Company considers that the project is prospective for several exploration models, namely: - high‐grade manganese‐iron deposits, potentially associated with elevated rare earth elements (REE) and possible cobalt mineralisation; - REE mineralisation associated with Georgina Basin carbonate sediments, similar to known occurrences elsewhere in the basin; - Kimberlitic diamond mineralisation; and - Mississippi Valley style base metal mineralisation hosted by Georgina Basin sediments. Matthew Pustahya, Managing Director commented on the granting on the Lucy Creek Exploration Licence.“The granting of our second exploration licence is great news for Litchfield as it now provides Litchfield with exploration optionality. In the short term, we have commenced desk top studies on Lucy Creek, while the Company focuses its exploration activities on the Mount Doreen tenement.” Read more: https://lnkd.in/dseYHjAk $LMS #mining
