The recent UK-Brazil critical minerals seminar has ignited a conversation about the role of British mining in the global critical minerals market. As Brazil continues to strengthen its position as a leading supplier of niobium, graphite and nickel, experts have called for a renewed focus to enhance Britain's own critical minerals strategy.

✅ #Argentina & #USA ♻️ Great to see the #relationship between these two #Countries flourish on a proactive level. ♻️ Strengthening the understanding and commitment to the #criticalminerals supply and demand, further enhances #value to each party at a time of #global unrest and #instability. ♻️ Certainly, an aspect of this relationship that can not go unnoticed is the fact that both sides can rely a bit more on #domestic #supplychain of #materials and within each other instead of heavily relying on #countries such as #China, #Russia, and #Panama for the same availabilities!! #supply #demand #supplychain #metals #manufacturers #manufacturing #jobs #technologies #trade #logistics #mining #minerals #manufacture #business #market #markets #buy #sell #sales #purchase #agreement #businesses #ties Global Mineral Holdings Inc. #gmhinc

Where will the money come from to build the critical minerals supply chain? As per a recent article in The Globe and Mail, it certainly isn't coming from domestic sources. The article highlights the proposed investment of $130 million by China's Zijin Mining in Solaris Resources Inc., a Canadian mining company, developing the Warintza copper project in Ecuador. With the increasing demand for critical minerals, will the Canadian government let this deal go through? Read more about this proposed investment in the following article: https://lnkd.in/eKRucAtu

Value chains = kill chains... Here is an interesting quote from the article, "Whilst no single country has more than a 15% share of oil supply, China has a more than 80% share in gallium, magnesium, tungsten, to take just three critical minerals – and controls almost all the mines in the Democratic Republic of Congo which produces over 70% of cobalt." #mining #technology #criticalminerals

If the South African mining sector is going to capture a share of the growing international demand for critical minerals, it will have to address the issues that undermine its attractiveness and competitiveness as a mining jurisdiction.

As Gulf nations expand their mining investments, countries like the DRC and Morocco must carefully negotiate terms that reflect the true value of their mineral resources. Explore the implications of these partnerships:

"Given its comparatively well-developed infrastructure, established mining expertise, and abundant renewable energy and minerals resources, South Africa could position itself as a regional investment destination for the extraction and processing of critical minerals ... However, these strengths can only be leveraged if the core structural challenges are addressed and a more enabling policy environment created."
