Come to DC and do big things! Well, testifying before the US House Natural Resources Subcommittee on Energy & Mineral Resources for the Majority is just that - talking about one of my favorite topics critical minerals and permitting. #energy #criticalminerals #criticalmaterials #permitting

Mine Survey - What is your biggest decarbonisation challenge? We surveyed miners attending Energy and Mines, Australia, May 7-8, Crown Perth, to understand their decarbonisation areas of interest, whom they want to meet, and their main decarbonisation challenges. The results can be viewed in the attached document #energyandmines https://lnkd.in/dTjvDBw

Join the conversation tomorrow to discuss #governance in the mining sector and the implications for #renewables.

As we approach November 5th, a time often dominated by partisan messaging, I’d like to offer a different perspective. Geothermal energy continues to stand out as a truly bipartisan issue, uniting both sides of the aisle in a shared vision for an abundant, low cost energy future. On July 23rd, I had the honor of testifying before the House of Natural Resources about H.R. 8665 – The Supercritical Geothermal Research and Development Act. (5-Minute video oral testimony here - https://lnkd.in/ghTGZK96).   Walking away from that hearing, I was struck by the genuine curiosity and optimism expressed by members from both parties. This landmark legislation embodies long-term thinking by our federal government, sending a clear message to the industry: next-generation geothermal will play a critical role in the U.S. energy portfolio. It also signals a commitment to investing early, ensuring that we can unlock the immense potential beneath our cities—providing firm, clean energy to power the industries of the future.

Think energy investments are too risky? Here's a risk-free option that could be your safe bet. Did you know that owning mineral rights can be a risk-free venture, as highlighted in discussions around significant events like the BP Macondo spill? Unlike operational risks faced by companies, mineral owners often enjoy protections, ensuring their investments remain secure, regardless of environmental incidents. This layer of security provides a unique investment avenue within the ever-evolving energy sector. But what does it mean to be a mineral rights owner in today's market? With stable projections for natural gas prices and an expected rise in oil and gas demand, the value of mineral rights continues to be significant. Whether it's through direct ownership, partnerships, or financial instruments, the opportunity for multiple revenue streams from a single investment is a reality. What are your thoughts on the balance between investment opportunities and environmental responsibilities in mineral rights ownership? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below and share this with a friend now! #oil #oilandgas #invest #investments

EIC Rose Rock and Andrew Lackner led an informative piece on CNN about #lithium, its uses and its investment potential. We're all in lithium's possibilities; one of our portfolio companies, Element3 Resources is creating a secure, domestic supply of lithium by extracting it from oil and gas wastewater.

Please see below a blog post my colleague and I wrote regarding a submission Natural Justice presented to the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy regarding the IRP2023 https://lnkd.in/dEDNTHbC

Big News on Capitol Hill: The Critical Mineral Consistency Act Vote Tomorrow, the House Rules Committee will cast a pivotal vote on the Critical Mineral Consistency Act, a crucial piece of legislation that aims to streamline regulatory processes and support a consistent approach to sourcing minerals vital to our energy transition. This vote holds significant potential to reinforce the U.S. commitment to securing domestic supply chains for critical minerals, including copper—an essential component for everything from electric vehicles to renewable energy infrastructure. Now is the time to make your voice heard! Reach out to your representatives and urge them to support the Critical Mineral Consistency Act (HR 8446). Together, we can build a stronger, more resilient U.S. copper supply chain. Find your representative here: https://bit.ly/3UzB9VY Let's #GiveCopperCredit and show our support for this vital legislation! Stay tuned for updates and let's continue to work towards a sustainable and secure future.

Intra Energy Corporation (ASX: IEC) managing director Ben Dunn sits down with Proactive’s Jonathan Jackson to discuss the discovery of high-grade #gold at the Maggie Hays Hill (MHH) Project in Western Australia’s Lake Johnston Greenstone Belt. Assay results from 11 rock chip samples collected in March and April averaged 2.56 g/t of gold, with the highest assay at 7.6 g/t. Three parallel quartz reefs, each more than 250 metres long, have been identified. IEC has also found significant gold and lithium targets through a soil sampling program. The northern anomaly spans 1,500 by 150 metres, with gold grades averaging 30 ppb, while a southern anomaly aligns with central quartz reefs, averaging 31 ppb. Dunn expressed satisfaction with the rapid progress of the exploration program, led by Todd Hibberd. The team is preparing to drill in mid-June 2024, pending the acquisition of necessary permits and heritage clearances.
