The Australian Critical Minerals Conference (#ACMC) kicks off in #Brisbane AMEC Chief Executive Warren Pearce joined a panel discussion on "What government support is needed to accelerate growth in the critical minerals sector?" A timely discussion on the back of the Federal Government's 2024/25 budget announcement, to support the critical minerals sector, with $7 billion committed over the next decade for all 31 critical minerals to drive downstream processing in Australia. This comes via a ten per cent Production Tax Incentive (PTI), aimed to enable the nation to realise the full value of our natural resources. Moderating the panel was Bernadette Currie from Sedgman Pty Limited and fellow panelists included Helen Degeling from Cobalt Blue Holdings, Darryl Cuzzubbo from Arafura Rare Earths Limited , Rebecca Tomkinson from The Chamber of Minerals and Energy of Western Australia, Gavin Loyden from QEM Limited (ASX:QEM) and Rebecca Knights from Department for Energy and Mining, South Australia. Thanks to Quest Events for putting on a great conference. #CriticalMinerals #PTI

This morning, CME CEO Rebecca Tomkinson delivered a keynote speech at the Australian Critical Minerals Conference 2024 in Brisbane, where she outlined the importance of maximising global opportunities in Australia, particularly in relation to the supply and demand of critical minerals.    Australia has many competitive advantages - we have world-class reserves of all the critical minerals the energy transition needs; abundant solar, wind, and gas energy resources; stable government, with low sovereign risk; a reputation as a long-term, reliable trading partner; a skilled workforce; the necessary technology and innovation; and high ESG standards. These advantages have contributed to the development of a number of world-class mining and energy projects across Australia, ranging from iron ore to natural gas, as well as bauxite, gold and nickel. There is huge opportunity for growth, given the demand for critical minerals in front of us. But given the fierce competition we are facing from countries around the world for this investment, we’ll need to be at our best as an industry, but also in terms of the policy environment created by government.

For Southeast Europe, a region rich in critical raw materials (Serbia alone ranks third in Europe in terms of reserves of lithium), the EU's Critical Raw Material Act is economically, and politically, of key importance. In an interview for Renewables Now Ltd, Maria Sunér talks about the need for long-term targets beyond 2030, increased investments in exploration and reliable trade allies. The latter hits straight home, with part of the Western Balkans caught up in close ties with China. #criticalrawmaterials #china #southeasteurope

Raw materials are crucial for the energy transition and the EU has adopted the Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA) in a bid to secure these essential resources and reduce Europe's heavy reliance on supplies from China. However, according to Maria Sunér, CEO of the Swedish mining association Svemin and a Member of the Executive Committee at Euromines, the CRMA is just the beginning. In a recent interview with Renewables Now, Suner emphasised that while the CRMA is a positive initial step, it won’t be enough on its own. She highlighted the need for long-term targets beyond 2030, reliable trade allies, and increased investment in exploration. Suner also pointed out regulatory and financial hurdles that must be addressed to develop a sustainable mining industry in Europe.

Since the Minerals Security Partnership (#MSP)’s creation, partners have announced milestones on 14 projects and confirmed they're working to advance more than 30 projects, including 19 projects in upstream mining and mineral extraction, 15 projects in midstream minerals processing, and 3 projects in recycling and recovery. These projects focus on the minerals and materials most essential to the energy transition located in the Americas, Africa, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. We’re committed to high environmental, social, and governance (#ESG) and labor principles to bolster and diversify critical mineral supply chains. 🌐https://lnkd.in/gTJQwMYS #EUnderSecretariatUSA U.S. Department of State - Bureau of Energy Resources U.S. Department of State – Bureau of Economic and Business Affairs Department of State's Office of Global Partnerships

Is the Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA) adopted by the EU enough for Europe to reduce its dependence on China and ensure the availability of raw materials necessary for the energy transition? Svemin's CEO and Euromines board member Maria Sunér discusses the topic in an interview with Renewables Now. Some highlights: 🔹 the CRMA is a very good first step, but won’t be enough on its own. 🔹 Europe needs to discuss long-term targets beyond 2030 🔹 Even if Europe reaches the ambitious targets in the CRMA, it will still need allies 🔹 Investment in exploration should be increased 🔹 Regulatory and financial hurdles must be addressed to develop a sustainable mining industry in Europe.

Did you catch our latest episode? In our recent conversation with Gord Neal, CEO of World Copper, we explored the pressing challenges and opportunities facing the copper market today. Here’s what you missed⬇ ✅ World Copper has two main assets: the Zonia Copper Oxide Project in Arizona and the Escalones Oxide Project in Chile. Zonia is positioned for quicker production due to its pre-stripped nature and existing infrastructure, while Escalones has a larger resource but faces permitting challenges due to recent government restrictions. ✅ The copper market is currently experiencing a significant deficit, driven by the increasing demand for copper in electric vehicles, renewable energy technologies, and infrastructure development. This demand is expected to rise as the world moves towards decarbonisation. ✅ Many junior mining companies, including World Copper, are facing valuation challenges, particularly those with market caps below $50 million. The current market conditions make it difficult for these companies to attract investment and gain attention. ✅ World Copper plans to conduct a verification drill program to confirm the presence of copper on leach pads at the Zonia project. Successful verification could significantly enhance the company's market valuation and support its move towards a bankable feasibility study.
