Critical Minerals have become a popular subject in every country’s agenda nowadays.  Nations cannot afford to overlook the importance of a secure supply chain in these materials anymore.  The debate is not about whether you should prioritize in developing these projects, is about how fast you can in developing them.  The clock is ticking… Investors should be paying attention to this sector because they are essential for modern technologies, the clean energy transition, and national security, with demand projected to skyrocket amidst vulnerable, geographically concentrated supply chain.  Can the Western worlds  catch up to China and Asia in terms of the processing of certain metals/ Many of these critical minerals have been very strategic for countries that cannot rely just on one source of supplies.  From Copper, Nickel, Tungsten, Manganese, REEs, Antimony, Lithium, Cobalt…etc, the race is on for developing these assets to ease the supply tightness.  This is the new norm that will not be reversed any time soon.
