Unbeknown to many, the mining sector holds the key to
the technological development needed make the globe
greener.
Mining is a significant driver in the advancement of
communities. As the world begins its slow transition to
decarbonisation, the production of green technology needs to
significantly increase and mining plays a central role in this
revolution.
To produce the items needed to transition, the world needs to
supercharge the production of minerals such as:
- copper (used in almost every technological device),
- nickel (used in batteries, phones, computers),
- cobalt (used in advanced tools and lithium-ion storage
batteries)
- and rare earth minerals (used in a range of green technologies
such as wind turbines and solar panels, as well as in electronic
equipment).
