Critical minerals such as copper, lithium, nickel, cobalt and rare earth elements are essential components in many of today's rapidly growing clean energy technologies – from wind turbines and electricity networks to electric vehicles.
In July 2022, the UK Department for Business and Trade released the first UK Critical Minerals Strategy aiming to improve the security of supply of critical minerals and to highlight the importance of building resilient and diversified mineral supply chains.
As government builds the foundation upon which Britain can thrive in the 21st century, it’s clear that they must create resilient and diversified mineral supply chains.
This webinar will be looking into the work that is ongoing in the critical minerals market alongside additional work required in order to support supply security.
As part of this session, we will aim to inform you of the necessary insights into the topic while asking the big questions:
- What is the latest on UK’s critical minerals strategy?
- What is the government planning to support critical minerals?
- What role do Chartered Minerals Surveyors play?
- What mining is being undertaken of what minerals?
