To coincide with the Diggers & Dealers 2024 Mining Forum, we have released our latest Mining & Metals thought leadership report: Creating opportunity through uncertainty: How can Australian critical mineral projects gain an edge in the emerging global market?
Author, Matt Judkins, Lead Partner- Deloitte Energy and Climate Advisory highlighted:
“As the energy and climate transition gathers pace, countries and industries across the world are locking in supplies of the minerals critical to delivering the transition. From rare earths to lithium, cobalt, graphite, nickel and copper, critical minerals are required for a range of clean technologies, including batteries for electric vehicles and magnets for wind turbines. In response to limited diversification of global supply and increasing demands for ESG value chain transparency, the global trade and investment environment for critical minerals has the potential to rapidly change. Australian mineral explorers, developers and producers must understand the potential implications for their businesses and impact on individual projects across a range of possible scenarios.”
