Global racing continues for critical minerals. Here’s why the life of the new technological period

Is your smartphone a solar panel or partner with a home battery or piece of military equipment? All using critical minerals is an important component of strengthening modern technology every day.

“It’s a completely central thing for calling electro-digital age,” he said, author of Vince Beiser Power Metal: Race for resources to form the futureIn an interview to CBC’s current.

“This period we developed during this period will be determined by renewable electricity and digital technology. These work cannot do without critical metal.”

Some trade experts call critical minerals “Beds” In technological progress, unlike a new period – the invention of the invention of the vapor engine during the first industrial revolution, the world has changed the world, trains, trains and factory machines.

The idea is considered important for the transition to green energy and digital technology of these elements, or is important for serving a kind of military function, Elizabeth Stain, Elizabeth Stein, who examined critical minerals, explained Elizabeth Stein.

CBC has a global race to control what critical minerals and why these valuable sources are.

What critical minerals Canada do you have?

“Historically, Canada really became the best place in the world for mining companies and prospects,” he said in an interview with the front brighter of the CBC front, a mining correspondent in Bloomberg Lorinc.

Canada has 34 critical mineral and metal its list (Some countries apply to them as “strategic minerals”). Except for Pei, there are mines, processing plants and projects dedicated to these minerals in each Canadian province and territory

The supply chain of a mineral to reach the list should be at risk and should be “reasonable chance” produced in Canada. You also have to answer one of the following criteria:

• Canada is important for economic or national security.

• “Continuous Low Carbon and Digital Economy” is required for the transition.

• This helps the Canadian position as a “strategic partner” in its global supply chain.

It is important to note that within the wider list of Canada, there are 17 metal bands called “rare land minerals” or Lanthanides, which are very poisonous and radioactive.

“Rare lands are a good example of how rare of critical minerals, but they can be scarce,” Stein said. Lanthanides are on the ground crust, “it is very small that they are found to find a place where we will master in a possible way.”

Problem with mining in Canada

Canadian mining failure minerals are a place where it is commercially possible.

However, some experts say the country does not fully use the rich scene of the mineral, for a number of reasons.

“This minerals is everywhere, but we have not been very good in recent years,” said Lorinc, “said Lorinc.

“Sudbury was really used to be a behemot of the world for nickel production, and then we had all the nickel there, some, but it’s not like it,” he said.

Other Deposits – Like a fire ring in Northern Ontario – the development and construction of mining infrastructure are in remote areas.

Some local communities are concerned about these mining developments Water will cause pollution or other harmful environmental impact on the land.

“We have taken this way through the local leadership on the table,” he said.

“We recognize the importance of strong relations with the local people as strong relations in this country,” he said.

“Countries who can manage this place will definitely be a stronger position at the international level,” he said.

An example: The list of Canada’s critical minerals has been updated to enter silicone metal used to prepare semiconductor chips in turn last year Power by the largest companies in the world artificial intelligence. This gives a sense of how valuable the digital age of these minerals is.

“We have an incredible role to play in all these sectors,” he said. “But surely we fight like a nation competing in the space.”

Why do you have geopolitical results?

The United States and China are fighting for global technological advantages for advanced technology and resources used to correct it. China has the advantage of the mining nation – but perhaps more importantly, the world leader in processing of other countries.

The United States was the number one mining power, but ’70 and in the ’80s, “said Beiser, mostly the authors.” “Mining culture is very destructive. Very pollution, etc.”

“China, China, which opens the economy at that time, we will do it well. We are pleased to drill this work in our lands and build processing plants.”

Now China uses a strong position by restricting mineral exports to the United States and the United States is trying to reduce its trust.

Therefore, Trump, Canada and Greenland showed interest in the annexes of rich areas with mineral. Therefore, the United States and Ukraine are in agreement with Ukraine to ensure that US minerals in exchange for military assistance. Ukraine trusts to deal to finance post-war recovery.

“Critical minerals are the issue of national security for the United States,” Stein said. “I don’t think it’s a reason for the excitement, but that’s something we need to know.”
