The Critical Minerals Strategy sets out the long-term vision and objectives to be achieved in the 5-year strategic period from 2024-2028, including ensuring sustainable exploitation of minerals, strengthening value addition and promoting the local economy, and building reliable critical minerals supply chains to meet global demand.

The Strategy defines critical minerals as naturally occurring minerals essential to modern technologies, the economy and national development. It identifies 11 minerals of strategic importance to Zambia:

Lithium

Graphite

Nickel

Cobalt

Coltan (Columbite-Tantalum)

Tin

Copper

Manganese

Sugilite

Uranium

Rare Earth Elements (REEs)

The Strategy also addresses several challenges facing Zambia’s mining sector, including illegal mining and insufficient geological data. It outlines a four-point action plan to enhance the country’s capacity to manage its critical mineral resources effectively:

Advancing geological mapping and mineral resource development and management;

Enhancing strategic government and private sector partnerships;

Promoting beneficiation and value addition; and

Fostering research and development.

The U.S. Army Just Called China’s Bluff in the Rare Earth War

Just recently, in a span of about six weeks, one impressive company was selected by the U.S. Army to build and operate rare earth processing facilities on an American military base…the first time the Army has ever done this. That same company closed $100 million in institutional financing, giving it a war chest of roughly $130 million. It was also formally added to the Russell 3000 Index. And it locked in MOU’s for feedstock agreements covering billions of tonnes of rare earth-bearing material from sources across Wyoming, Appalachia…

Oil Prices Ignore the Warning Signs in Physical Markets

Oil price movements since the start of March this year have become the topic of dozens of discussions. Many have been puzzled by futures prices and why they haven’t gone through the roof given the severe disruption in Middle Eastern supply. It appears the reason is sheer optimism and a bet on market adaptability. However, there is a problem with that. Adaptability has limits. Many commentators like to compare the current oil price—and supply—situation to 2022, when Russia’s incursion into eastern Ukraine prompted an actual…

The World’s Largest Sand Battery Is Now Online

Modern power grids require a constant, real-time balance between supply and consumption. Unfortunately, the integration of wind and solar energy makes power grids unstable due to the intermittent nature of renewable energy generation. To prevent localized grid blackouts or harmful voltage spikes, utilities are increasingly pairing renewables with battery storage and/or rapid-response natural gas plants to smooth out fluctuating supply. However, Finland has now come up with a rather eccentric method to store excess renewable energy and release it…

Refined Fuels, Not Crude, Are Driving the Oil Market Crunch

Oil prices have just come off a fresh two-month high as the crude oil market has tumbled this week amid signals of de-escalation in the U.S.-Iran conflict. Despite the slump in crude prices and the extreme volatility in the past five months, the refined product market continues to tighten with refining margins at record highs because the supply of petroleum products is much tighter than crude supply. Refining margins held at record highs even as crude oil prices soared last week to $100 per barrel. That’s because global gasoline, diesel,…
