Could Norway be the key to Europe's independence from China's dominance in the rare earth metals sector? Are the rumored phosphate-rich deposits in Southern Norway fact or fiction? More on IFE's mineral days 28th of May.

In South Africa, food security is increasingly being threatened by coal mining interests. The Mpumalanga Province is a key source of South Africa’s coal supply with over 60% of the province’s surface area either being subject to mining rights or prospecting applications. Mpumalanga also possesses almost half of the country’s high potential arable land.

Today marks Day 3 of the NW working visit, where the ES/CEO, NIPC, Ms. Aisha Rimi and her team met with His Excellency, Mal Dikko Umaru Radda, PhD, Governor of Katsina State. Katsina is making significant strides in various sectors: - The launch of KAGIS, which processes Certificates of Occupancy (C of O) in 4 weeks. - Upcoming rail line and extensive road networks enhancing connectivity. - A vibrant agricultural sector focusing on cotton, groundnuts, and maize. - Progress in the mining sector with investments in limestone, kaolin, and silica. - Infrastructure improvements, including industrial parks and road networks. - Promotion of educational initiatives to build a skilled workforce. - Strategic support to SMEs, improving the business environment to attract more investments. Katsina is actively seeking investors in various sectors: - Agriculture, with a focus on expanding crop production and processing. - Mining to add value to the mining value chain. - Solar energy to develop solar panels and related products. #KatsinaState #InvestmentOpportunities #NIPC #Agriculture #Mining #Infrastructure #SolarEnergy #EconomicGrowth #SMEs #Education #Connectivity

Yesterday, Norway made the decision to delay its first licensing round for mining metals and minerals on the Arctic seabed. The Norwegian government had planned to begin offering exploration permits in early 2025, despite considerable uncertainty about environmental impacts and opposition from 32 countries, including Germany, France, and Canada. I shared my thoughts on this postponement with Gro, from Børsen. The postponement of deep-sea mining is a clear example of the growing focus on nature impacts and the transition risks it creates for businesses—risks that can ultimately affect the bottom line. There is no doubt that critical metals and minerals are essential to support the green transition and reduce our dependency on countries like China. However, this must not come at the expense of marine biodiversity. If we sacrifice nature, we risk undermining both climate and nature goals. It is crucial that authorities begin to assign a value to nature in such projects, something that rarely happens today. Proper valuation will ensure that projects are economically sustainable while avoiding overexploitation of natural resources. This case also illustrates the complexity of the green transition. We must reduce emissions while preserving biodiversity, while simultaneously navigating geopolitical issues, metals and mineral security, and competitiveness. #Danskebank #Responsibleinvestment #deepseamining #Norway #climate #nature #greentransition #biodiversity

Great leap towards the world's most sustainable mining industry ✔ By means of a new strategic industrial partnership (MoU), Norway and the EU aim to ensure sustainable European value chains for critical raw materials ♻ -The European Union’s efforts to ensure sustainable and robust value chains for raw materials within the European market is incredibly important also for Norway – and for us at the Geological Survey of Norway (NGU) in particular. Norway is rich in critical raw materials and has a substantial potential for increased mineral production. Thus, this new industrial partnership is a great leap forward both for Norway and the EU, says Head of Department at NGU, Henrik Schiellerup ✅ https://lnkd.in/dWSEEHG7 Norwegian Ministry of Trade, Industry and Fisheries European Commission #criticalrawmaterials #sustainablemining #batteries

Highfield Resources Limited CEO, Ignacio Salazar, talks to Andrew Geoghegan at ausbiz following the Company's announcement to fund the Muga #Potash mine in Spain with a binding agreement with Yankuang Energy and a number of strategic investors including Beijing Energy, and Taizhong. Potash is a future facing #commodity with critical importance to #FoodSecurity as an important #fertilizer input.  Demand for Potash is expected to grow driven by geopolitical supply diversity, population growth, and declining arable land. Highfield is focused on becoming a globally diversified potash #producer, and is set to be the next new significant source of Potash in #Europe. #macronutrient #potassium #muriateofpotash #MOP #agriculture #ASX #Ausbiz #mining ASX.HFR #invest ________________________________

“𝙀𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙚𝙨 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙝𝙤𝙡𝙚𝙨” In the outskirts of the city, where the sun dips into the earth, a man named Ajang digs for a treasure that connects us all. #Tin, a humble mineral, soldering our lives together through smartphones and laptops. But every connection comes with a cost. Ajang's hands, worn and weary, tell a story of struggle. His eyes, sunken and wise, hold a deeper truth. The earth suffers too, its rivers running red, its forests shrinking. The price of progress is paid in full, yet the reward is meager. Are you surprised?! I am not! For such is the story of an average youth in my community. These and many more are the reasons for my advocacy for safe and sustainable resource exploitation. It’s day 16_of_21 with Amaka Ifeduba _______________________ How best do you think these practices can be curbed? How can mining communities benefit from their natural resources while ensuring environmental sustainability?
