Demand is undeniable but how can the industry sustainably accelerate the supply?
Critical thinking to meet a world of high demand and high expectations
Global mining investment will need to double to almost US$100 billion per annum to produce the metals and minerals required for the world to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.
According to the International Energy Agency, by 2030, global electricity storage alone will require 50 new lithium mines, 60 new nickel mines and 17 new cobalt mines.
The opportunity is immense and the challenge equally daunting.
Is a paradigm shift needed in how the industry can bring copper, lithium, cobalt and a host of critical minerals and metals to market while balancing community expectations of what sustainable mining and greener manufacturing looks like?
The timeline between exploration, approvals, finance and commercialisation for new and established projects remains long and complex.
Governments around the world are playing a more active role in resource development. What more needs to be done across the industry value chain to secure and accelerate the next generation of mining and manufacturing investments?
