Russia, China should not be allowed to dominate critical minerals market: minister

Demand for critical minerals and metals – such as lithium, graphite, nickel, cobalt and copper – is exploding as demand climbs for everything from smartphones and laptops to wind turbines, solar panels and electric cars.

Following Russia’s invasion in Ukraine, Europe is facing an oil and gas crisis as it tries to disentangle itself from heavy reliance on Russian fossil fuels, without easy alternative sources. That is a wake-up call for western democracies in the critical minerals field, Wilkinson said.Story continues below advertisement

While each country has slightly different lists and definitions of critical minerals, typically they are substances which have no substitute, are limited in supply, economically important, and increasingly concentrated in both extraction and processing.Russia is among the three biggest sources of palladium, scandium and titanium, produces one-tenth of the world’s nickel, and six per cent of its aluminum.

Hypocrite.

Why is it you all can’t just live and let live.. let go of the hate and jealousy and show love honesty and respect to each other.

Of course Canada should be extracting and exploiting our vast mineral wealth ... but that will require JustinTrudeau and cafreeland to make a 180° course correction and promote the needs of actual working people over those of the urban core voters.

More hypocrisy by the anti resource minister.

How many gold mines did Trudeau sell off to China again?

This is the real reason we picked a war with Russia and are picking one with China. The US empire and its vassal nations must remain on top, they know how they treat those on bottom.
