Why Max’s CESAR is our favorite copper-silver play – Richard Mills Copper and silver are essential metals when it comes to the transition from fossil-fueled transportation and power generation to electricity-based systems. A good argument can be made that to get the electrical juice flowing from any kind of energy source to any type of energy storage device, you have to have copper and silver. https://lnkd.in/gkQQJUmj #copper #silver #miningnews #metalsnews #miningandmetals #preciousmetals #criticalmetals #energytransition Ahead of the Herd

Those of us up in Canada understand the complexities of federal oversight when it comes to permitting, exploration, mining, etc. However, I have to think that one aspect of our industry in Canada and Australia, two production and consumption countries, is the fact that our federal oversight may make mining more acceptable. To what Julie Lucas says in Ernest Scheyder’s original post, one cannot consume on a high scale without understanding where the raw material comes from. Ernest brought this question up in his book, “The War Below”, are we comfortable consuming end products when the alternative could be raw material production in areas that socially and environmentally sensitive, or result in human exploitation? The energy transition should be also the “just” transition, yes? #mining #responsiblemining #justtransition #bigquestions

Piedmont Lithium with a mining permit for the deposit outside Charlotte Tesla supplier, Piedmont Lithium Inc. was granted a mining permit for the deposit outside Charlotte. The decision as well as posting the $1 mln reclamation bond removes one of the obstacles from Piedmont’s. The approval for the expansion of the open pit mine which should reach 152 m deep, was granted despite neighbors’ concerns on the subject of environmental impact. Due to this, the project was under long-term fire, however this investment. will be one of the few lithium-producing sites in the US. According to Reuters, the company has to obtain a local zoning variance and finance for the project. The estimated cost is more than $1 billion. The company has applied for the load via the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) program. Moreover Piedmont has to pay the reclamation bond. Keith Phillips has indicated that the company ”is taking steps to put the bond in place as soon as possible”. The must-have condition of obtaining the permit is that the company has to conduct regular water quality and water table level tests. Moreover, the waste storage pit must be lined with synthetic liner. Piedmont must also receive a zoning variance from officials in Gaston County #mining, #miningindustry, #lithium,

New study finds that #copper cannot be mined quickly enough to keep up with current U.S. policy guidelines for the country’s #energy transition. To meet the copper needs of electrifying the global vehicle fleet, as many as six new large copper mines must be brought online annually over the next several decades.

Coming to us from the Wyoming Mining Association -- Big news today! The Prohibiting Russian Imports Act (House resolution 1042) was passed by unanimous consent of the Senate today. Please see the link to the Senate Committee on Energy & Natural Resources announcement below:   https://lnkd.in/ekgwSMAr   The announcement states:   “Wyoming’s energy industry plays an integral role in powering not only our nation but the world,” said Senator Lummis. “ We should be capitalizing on Wyoming’s vast resources and boosting domestic mining, not jeopardizing our national security. I am proud to join my friend and colleague Senator Barrasso to deliver a bipartisan solution to unleash American energy.”   A Yahoo Finance article linked below states:   “This is a national security priority as dependence on Russian sources of uranium creates risk to the US economy and the civil nuclear industry that has been further strained by Russia’s war in Ukraine,” the White House said earlier in a fact sheet. “Without action, Russia will continue its hold on the global uranium market to the detriment of US allies and partners.” and;   “It’s possible Russia will respond with a unilateral export ban if the US bars imports, which could end deliveries of enriched uranium from the country immediately and render the waiver allowances moot.”   Source:       Senate Passes Russian Uranium Import Ban, Sending Bill to Biden - https://lnkd.in/gCfpH4Jf

A new report from S&P Global shows that the development of a new mine from discovery to production takes 29 years in the United States. That’s longer than any other country in the world besides Zambia. These long delays are part of the reason the U.S. is dependent on imported minerals from countries like China. The report shows that U.S. investment in mining exploration lags behind our peers – investment is 57% higher in Australia and 81% higher in Canada. It’s time to revitalize our country’s mining policies to address these long lead times, encourage investment and prepare America’s economy for the future.

📢 Copper Shortfall Threatens Renewable Energy Goals 📢 A study by the University of Michigan and Cornell University highlights a major issue: copper production can't keep up with US renewable energy and electric vehicle targets. ⚡🚗 To achieve America’s energy transition goals, six new large copper mines need to come online annually by 2050. The Copper World Project in Arizona and the Mason Project in Nevada are critical to ensuring we can continue to build the innovative products and technologies that will power a sustainable future.
