The topic of rare earths and critical minerals sparks debate-even within the mining community. Who defines what's "critical"? How do shifting energy policies impact the industry? And what does the future of mining look like in a rapidly changing world?
Join us for a thought-provoking discussion as we explore:✅ What qualifies as a critical mineral (and does uranium make the cut?)✅ The impact of shifting energy policies on the critical mineral list✅ Who should shape mining policy-government, industry, or environmental groups?✅ The staggering need for 369 new mines by 2040-realistic or reckless?
Expect friendly, open dialogue on these pressing issues. Whether you're a strong advocate or just curious, your voice matters!
