Critical Minerals Policy

As reported by Phys.org Earth Sciences, a clean energy future relies heavily on critical minerals like copper, cobalt, lithium, and rare earth elements. However, the rush to secure these resources puts pressure on mining locations and has become a geopolitical concern. With supply chains concentrated in a few countries, a new approach called 'just-shoring' is emerging, focusing on justice and equitable distribution in critical minerals policy. This development is crucial for mineral exploration companies and investors, as it may impact the global supply of these essential resources.
