The pace of announcements by Western governments to bolster the critical minerals supply chain this week has been remarkable. Initiatives like the MSP and the EU’s SAFE framework are unified in their demand for responsible and sustainable production. This focus is not just about securing supply, but ensuring it is developed in a way that aligns with the values of modern society. As highlighted in Sovereign Metals’ latest update, meeting these evolving standards is not optional; it's a business imperative. The company’s commitment to responsible rutile production in Malawi positions it perfectly to support global supply chain resilience while adhering to these stringent new requirements. It's encouraging to see such alignment between industry efforts and government frameworks as we navigate this transformative phase for the sector. #CriticalMinerals #SustainableMining #ResponsibleProduction

The WA Battery and Critical Minerals Strategy 2024-2030 from the Department of Jobs, Tourism, Science and Innovation is now available. This updated strategy outlines the Western Australian Government’s approach to developing WA’s battery and critical minerals sector and capturing more value onshore focusing on expanding the States advanced processing capabilities.

The Australian Trade and Investment Commission (Austrade) trade has launched the new Australian Critical Minerals Prospectus 💡, which provides crucial insights on investment opportunities in #Lithium and #RareEarth. It details 52 advanced #criticalminerals projects (including geological, technical and financial data) for investors. 📱🔋 The report outlines leading critical mineral projects across the country, including from those here in Queensland such as the HPA First Project - Gladstone (Alpha HPA Ltd), Cape Flattery Silica Sand Project (Metallica Minerals (MLM), Galalar Silica Sand Project (Diatreme Resources Limited), Richmond - Julia Creek Vanadium (Richmond Vanadium Technology Ltd) and Queensland midstream Sconi Project (Australian Mines Ltd). Critical minerals are key in helping us achieve the transition to a low-carbon economy and safeguarding clean energy supply 📈🌐 Download here 👇 Download the report from the Australian Trade and Investment Commission (Austrade): https://lnkd.in/e4zyBcCQ Australian Green Economy Prospectus: https://lnkd.in/gKJ8iBAJ #netzero #criticalminerals #sustainability #greeneconomy

I see 3 scenarios for how the critical minerals push plays out; a race to the bottom (very bad), more of the same (bad), and a race to the top (good). Let me know what you think of my OpEd on that idea, prompted by the recent International Energy Agency (IEA) Critical Minerals report. https://lnkd.in/e3hXPWZ7

🌟 Updates from the PNWER Annual Summit in Whistler! 🌟 Our Account Director, Kamran Shaikh is attending the Pacific NorthWest Economic Region (PNWER) Summit, where groundbreaking discussions are taking place. One of the highlights was an engaging session titled ‘Rock Solid Relations: Harnessing Critical Minerals for Cross-Border Prosperity’, moderated by Mining Association of BC President and CEO, Michael Goehring. The session underscored the significance of establishing a stable critical minerals supply chain in the Pacific Northwest and emphasized the vital role of engaging with and including First Nations in decision-making processes and building capacity for engagement. 🔍 Did you know? -British Columbia produces 54% of Canada's copper, a critical mineral. BC is the exclusive producer of Molybdenum in Canada, another essential mineral. -BC is home to 16 out of the 31 minerals listed as critical for Canada. -The natural resources sector in BC holds immense potential to generate sustainable, multigenerational jobs while responsibly supplying the critical minerals essential for Canada to meet its net zero obligations by 2030. 🎤 Industry insights: Other Panel Members included: -Heather Exner-Pirot, Senior Fellow and Director of Natural Resources, Energy and Environment, Macdonald-Laurier Institute -TJ Parhar, Executive Lead, Mining Regulatory Reform, BC Ministry of Energy, Mines, and Low Carbon Innovation -Doug Brown, Vice President Corporate Affairs, Teck Resources Limited, and Chair of the Mining Association of BC -Nalaine Morin, Vice President, Environment & Regulatory Affairs, Skeena Resources Limited Looking forward to more insightful discussions and collaborations at PNWER! 🌍💼 #PNWER2024 #CriticalMinerals #SustainableMining #FirstNationsEngagement #Decarbonization #NetZero #MiningPR

Happy #CanadianEnvironmentWeek! As Saskatchewan minerals industry professionals, we are proud to be part of this innovating, increasingly sustainable sector. The minerals industry is contributing to protecting the Canadian environment in a few ways: 1️⃣ Prioritizing environmental protections in waste and tailings management, post-operations ecosystem rehabilitation, and more. 2️⃣ Supplying key materials needed to make the energy transition possible. 3️⃣ Continually investing in innovative solutions that minimize environmental impacts. With ESG commitments, the minerals industry continues to evolve and sustainability-driven technological innovation is growing, and we're seeing it right here in Saskatchewan. #CanadianEnvironment #Innovation #Sustainability #Mining #MiningIndustry #Minerals #FutureOfMining #MiningInnovation

Yesterday, the Government of Canada announced that Canada Nickel Company has been selected for a $4.38 million contribution from the Critical Minerals Infrastructure Fund! With CMIF's support and meaningful Indigenous partnerships, we are able to integrate pre-implementation studies for electrical infrastructure into our flagship Crawford Nickel Sulphide Project, a key step in creating a low-carbon power grid that has the ability to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by over 60% compared to diesel operations. Crawford, located in the Timmins Nickel District, is set to become Canada’s largest nickel mine and will contribute vital nickel, cobalt, and chromium to the Canadian Critical Minerals Strategy. With a permanent carbon storage component, Crawford has the potential to be a net-zero contributor over its lifetime, directly supporting Canada's 2050 net-zero target while creating 1,500+ high-paying jobs. A huge thank you to Minister Jonathan Wilkinson, Parliamentary Secretary Marc G. Serré, MP Viviane L., and our valued partners. Together, we’re building a future where resource development aligns with environmental stewardship, Indigenous reconciliation, and sustainability.
