In this episode, we chat with Beth Borody, a seasoned leader in the mining industry and a trailblazer in driving diversity, equity, and inclusion. As the Founder and CEO of Femina Collective, Beth champions a community where women in natural resources can find connection, mentorship, and a supportive environment that fosters progress. Her vision is to transform the industry by creating safe spaces where women can collaborate, grow, and push for meaningful change. We are going to discuss Femina Collective and what they do and the challenges females in our industry are faced with which may not always be obvious to all. KEY TAKEAWAYS The mining industry is traditionally male-dominated, with women making up only 14% of the workforce globally. There is a pressing need for intentional efforts to increase female representation in all areas of the industry. The Femina Collective aims to radically change the experience of women in the mining industry by providing a supportive community that fosters connection, mentorship, and opportunities for professional growth. Women are encouraged to engage in mining investments, as they tend to be more risk-aware and make long-term investment decisions. The Femina Collective is launching an investment arm to educate women about investing in mining and to create a private investment club. Increasing the number of women in leadership roles within the mining sector is not just a diversity initiative; it is a smart business strategy. Diverse leadership teams lead to better decision-making and improved company performance. The organisation aims to expand its reach globally, enhance its membership offerings, and eventually establish an owner-operator model in mining, demonstrating the positive impact of female leadership and investment in the industry. BEST MOMENTS "Our goal since day one, our mission is always to radically change the experience of women in the mining industry." "We know that when women are looking at health and safety, that sites tend to be safer, that trucks aren't destroyed as quickly and women drive safer." "We believe that if we can impact one woman and we can grow her confidence, we can work with recruiters to get her her next role, that's going to have a rippling effect." "It's not actually a diversity thing that we're trying to achieve here. It's just actually smart business."

As a key part of net zero, mining is at the heart of the energy transition as producers require vast amounts of materials like lithium, copper and nickel needed. But it’s only the scale of the materials that we need, it's also the speed at which we need them to meet this huge demand. This month Daniela Jaramillo, Head of Sustainability Solutions speaks with two Fidelity experts on transition materials - Oliver Hextall, Portfolio Manager for Fidelity’s Transition Materials Strategy, and Sam Heithersay, Australian Mining Analyst. They examine how Australian miners could be affected by the repeal of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and what the potential outcomes for new tariffs on aluminium and steel mean for producers. They also discuss opportunities for investors outside of net zero including India’s growth and Artificial Intelligence (AI).

Legal Experts say the Mining industry can play a key role in addressing the scourge of gender-based violence. A new guideline published by the South African Mine Health and Safety Inspectorate aims to combat gender-based violence and femicide in the mining industry. The guideline, which came into effect last November requires mines to implement a code of practice to address GBVF risks and collaborate with state and non-governmental organizations. To discuss this further Elvis Presslin spoke to Mbali Nkosi, Senior Associate at Webber Wentzel
In this episode, we chat with Steve Virtue, a communications and public affairs executive within the mining industry with deep expertise providing leadership to the sector, whether junior miners, producers, and mining suppliers. He brings a 25 year career as a public affairs professional, having spent much of the past 15 years working in and around the sector, helping to improve outcomes for some of the largest brands in mining. He brings exceptional skills as a government relations, communications, and stakeholder engagement professional. As an active listener to the podcast, Steve discusses political risks in mining as we have seen a recent surge in government intervention around the world within our industry and wanted to provide some content around this and how mining companies could possibly navigate their way around certain situations and how to best market yourselves in the media. We also speak about branding and social media in our industry. KEY TAKEAWAYS Public affairs play a crucial role in supporting mining operations by managing relationships with government stakeholders, ensuring smooth operations, and mitigating political risks. Effective public affairs strategies can help mining companies navigate regulatory changes and maintain profitability. Governments are seeking genuine partnerships with mining companies rather than transactional relationships. Mining companies need to be proactive, ambitious, and constructive in their engagement with government officials to foster trust and collaboration. The political landscape is increasingly volatile, with significant changes in government leadership around the world. Mining companies must be prepared to adapt to these shifts, as new administrations may introduce unpredictable policies that can affect operations and profitability. The media industry is undergoing significant changes, with a decline in traditional outlets and a rise in citizen journalism. Mining companies need to adapt their communication strategies to effectively engage with audiences through digital platforms and social media, ensuring their narratives are heard amidst the noise. BEST MOMENTS "Governments are looking for partners. They want a real meaningful relationship, not just a transactional one where you come to me, solve my problem, and then move on." "The reality is that they do still require a very human touch. Public affairs is the exclusive domain of the relationship." "If you're tired of hearing your own voice, then let somebody else's voice speak for you. Talk about your social license to operate in the community." "There's a real education process that needs to happen. Mining is an environmentally friendly cause in many respects."

In this episode, we chat with Joe David, MD of Elementos, a resources development company focused on the exploration and development of tin projects into operations, with a focus on jurisdictions that demonstrate a high level of governance and foster a responsible approach to mining. Their assets are in Spain and Australia. With qualifications in Mine Engineering, Civil Engineering, and a degree in Finance, Joe’s career has spanned executive roles with private equity, listed and private mining companies, as an Associate Director within M&A advisory and running his own project development consulting company. During his career, he has managed the development of mining projects, bankable feasibility studies, exploration and metallurgical programs, project financing, corporate finance advisory, corporate strategy, and mergers and acquisitions. He gives us an overview of Elementos, their Oropesa Tin Project and Cleveland Project, the tin market, and advice for those seeking c-suite roles in mining. KEY TAKEAWAYS Elementos is a resources development company focused on tin projects in Spain and Australia. The company aims to become a vertically integrated tin producer within the European Union, addressing the current lack of domestic tin supply in the region. The flagship asset, the Oropesa Tin Project in Andalusia, Spain, is positioned to produce approximately 5,400 tonnes of tin concentrate per year. The project benefits from a supportive regulatory environment and is expected to receive necessary permits by the end of 2025 or early 2026. The Cleveland Tin Project in Tasmania has a rich history of tin mining and significant resources. Recent drilling has revealed promising tungsten mineralization, indicating potential for additional valuable resources alongside tin and copper. While developing mining projects in Europe can be challenging due to regulatory hurdles, Spain is seen as a favourable location due to its historical mining background and government support for revitalising the industry. The European Union's Critical Raw Materials Act further encourages domestic production, making it an attractive environment for mining investments. BEST MOMENTS "For me, I want to explain how I've got to where I am in my career, certainly took the generalist path, which can certainly be a frustrating path when you don't feel like maybe you're progressing as much as the specialist early in your career." "There's currently no operating tin mines within the European Union at all. There's no domestic supply." "The tin industry has been screaming out for vertical integration for a while... we're just not a company that's prepared to sit around and wait." "Spain is a bit of an outlier... the Iberian Peninsula has had a long history of mining... and the Andalusian government is putting huge investment effort into rebuilding the Spanish mining industry."

In this episode, we chat with Jorge Ganoza, CEO of Fortuna Mining, who are multi-listed Canadian-based precious metals mining company established in 2004, with five operating mines and an advanced exploration project located in Argentina, Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire, Mexico, Peru, and Senegal. Jorge is an experienced geological engineer who has worked on many mineral exploration, mining, and business development projects throughout Latin America and has worked in senior levels for several private and public Canadian junior mining companies during his career. He co-founded Fortuna Mining back in 2004 and shares his and the company's journey since then, an update on all the projects, how they contribute to their local communities, their social and economic development of local communities and what is the future strategic direction of the company. KEY TAKEAWAYS Since its inception in 2004, Fortuna Mining has grown from a small startup with limited resources to a significant player in the mining industry, generating nearly $1 billion in sales and employing over 5,000 people across multiple countries. The company strategically expanded into West Africa in 2021, acquiring Roxgold and establishing the Séguéla mine in Côte d'Ivoire as its flagship asset. This move was driven by the region's promising mineral endowment and growth potential. Fortuna Mining actively invests in local communities, contributing approximately $8 million annually to initiatives focused on infrastructure, education, health, and sustainable economic development. The company emphasises training local workers to develop skills that can be utilised beyond the mining sector. The rise of resource nationalism in West Africa has led to discussions about adjusting tax breaks and local content requirements. Fortuna Mining views these discussions as a natural evolution of the industry and is committed to engaging in constructive dialogue with governments. The mining industry is increasingly held to higher standards of environmental and social governance (ESG). Fortuna Mining prioritises transparency and responsible practices, including adopting global standards for tailings management and conducting materiality assessments to focus on impactful sustainability efforts. BEST MOMENTS "We set out early on with big aspirations... always trying to balance that long-term vision with the short-term challenges that we face here in the industry." "The mineral endowment, the capital efficiency to build mines, the growth that the region has exhibited is no secret... the amount of opportunity that we see emerge is second to none." "Mining has always been a frontier business. So you must be willing to play in the frontier if you want to be in the mining business." "We recognise that what we have is a concession, but it is their asset... it gives you a whole different sense of responsibility in how you engage with the nation."

Today, we are speaking with Liz Dennett, the CEO and Founder of Endolith. Endolith recently spun out of Cemvita to form its own independent company. (Ep #200 with Moji from Cemvita)By 2050, we will need more copper than in the history of mankind due to the electrification of industry and developing countries. If we don't solve this, it could lead to geopolitical conflicts. Their tech uses microbes to eat crushed rocks and poop out copper (I did say explain it to me like I'm 5). They add this to existing mining operations to increase output by ~10%. This helps us get closer to solving copper demand.In today's conversation, we cover**Copper in electrification**Her journey to CEO of Endolith**Why copper could be the thing wars are fought over**The innovation behind microbial mining**The balance between generating hype and focusing on scientific advancementsEnjoy! ---

“Southern Alaska Native Nations' Intervention: Stopping the Extractive Mining Industry from Maiming and Extinguishing Life” Today on American Indian Airwaves, we go to southeast Alaska and British Colombia (B.C.), Canada, to discuss the Southeast Alaska Indigenous Transboundary Commission (SEITC), which consists of 15 Indigenous nations in southeast Alaska and rooted along Canada's transboundary rivers, recent submission of a formal request with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, a legal organization that is part of the Organization of American States (OAS), to halt the protracted and reckless mining activities that are violating Indigenous peoples human rights throughout the region. Dozens of mining companies are seeking permission from the British Columbia (B.C.) government to develop some of the world's largest gold mines in the headwaters of Southeast Alaska's transboundary rivers, and the Canadian government continues denying the sovereign rights of the Alaskan Native nations living downstream from the extractive mining activities. In fact, a recent decision, ordered by Canada's Ministry of Land, Water and Resource Stewardship on June 27th, 2024, could guarantee the destruction of both a critical ecological hotspot and the ways of life of the Southeast Alaska nations. For example, Skeena Resources Limited (“Skeena”) proposed in 2021 a major gold and silver mining project called The Eskay Creek Project. It is one of eight mines in B.C. that are at issue, but the Esky Project, which is in the final environmental review state, and if built, would produce an estimated 7.5 million tons of gold and silver over an estimated 14-year mine life span and the project would be in the same area as a previous mine that operated from 1994-2008. Lastly, the Esky Creek Project risk southern Alaska Native nations, rivers including the Unuk, Stikine, and Taku, five species of wild Pacific salmon, and more traditional lifeways with possible extinction if left unheeded. Guests: Guy Archibald, Executive Director, of the Southeast Alaska Indigenous Transboundary Commission (www.seitc.org). Guy is an analytical environmental chemist and microbiologist with over 20 years of experience. He works to utilize western science and apply traditional knowledge and practices to protect the various communities, the forest, salmon, trees, and people.

Chris has a wealth of experience in the mining industry and previously served as the CEO of Gold Fields and also two major mining business, Anglo American Platinum and Kumba Iron Ore. Now with Vedanta, he tells us more about the company and the demerger of its business into 6 separately listed companies. He also discusses the critical minerals space in general and the geo-politics impacting on the critical minerals industry. KEY TAKEAWAYS Vedanta Resources is planning to demerge into six separately listed companies, each focusing on specific commodities, which is expected to unlock substantial value. The base metals division of Vedanta, has significant growth plans, aiming to increase zinc and copper production to over a million tons each by 2030. Geopolitics is impacting the critical minerals industry, with countries like the US, Canada, and China focusing on securing critical mineral assets and investing in African mining projects. Vedanta's mines and processing plants are strategically located in favourable mining jurisdictions like South Africa, Namibia, Zambia, India, and the Middle East to capitalise on growth opportunities. Vedanta has made significant progress in ESG initiatives, ranking among the top three globally in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index, showcasing their commitment to sustainability and responsible mining practices. BEST MOMENTS "I think the potential for Africa growth with the demand for critical minerals, and as we see the growth of the world needing growth in mining, you'll continue to see expansion of mining in Africa." "We've already seen 100% growth in the share price in this past year. I think as the demerger happens, which I think is one of the key things to watch for, I think that's all lined up to happen." "The real jewel in the crown is the fact that KCM, the Konkola copper mines in Zambia, which has been sort of under government control for the past five years, we announced at the end of last year that we had reached agreement with government and now just needed to go through the regulatory approval process."

This Matters is pleased to publish episodes of the Toronto Star's podcast, "Road Trip: Electric Avenues," every Saturday. This week, we are proud to share the final episode in the series: When we started this podcast, we really wanted to visit each step of the EV production process to show a complete picture of the supply chain, but in the end, we couldn't seal the deal. First off, the cam and cathode production isn't coming to Ontario. Right now, it's all being built in Bécancour, Quebec. And while there are plans to retool auto assembly plants to make EVs, there's currently only one that's operational — the GM electric delivery van plant in Ingersoll — and when we asked to visit, we found out it had been shut down due to supply chain snags. So instead, our final stop is North Bay where they are making specialty EVs for the mining industry. Toronto Star photographer Steve Russell and climate change reporter Marco Chown Oved went on a road trip through northern Ontario in the dead of winter. It was cold, blizzarding and icy. They travelled 2,300 km during the coldest week of the year. And they did it in an electric vehicle (EV).
In our first conversation of this week's long-form episode, Michael Howell discusses the source of liquidity in the current market and the role of central banks in injecting liquidity. He explains the investment cycle and the current phase, highlighting the potential challenges in the banking sector. Howell also discusses the implications of the Bank Term Funding Program and the relationship between interest rate expectations and liquidity. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the relationship between inflation expectations and liquidity, as well as the impact of liquidity on commodity prices. The second segment features Todd Mallon of Talon Metals. Here Trevor and Todd discuss the evolving relationship between governments and the mining industry, particularly in the context of Western governments' focus on securing supply chains for critical minerals. Mallon highlights the importance of security of supply and the need for responsible mining practices to address societal expectations. He also emphasizes the role of partnerships between industry, government, and civil society in addressing challenges related to permitting and public engagement. Mallon discusses the role of government funding and support in advancing critical minerals projects and the potential for expanding processing and refinement facilities in the United States. Overall, Mallon is optimistic about the bipartisan support for critical minerals policy and the potential for collaboration in the industry. We'd like to thank our sponsors: Arizona Sonoran Copper Company (ASCU:TSX) is focused on developing its brownfield copper project on private land in Arizona, a tier 1 location.

A number of U.S. industries rely heavily on critical minerals that must be imported from other countries. Policymakers and business leaders are calling for investment and reshoring to manage that risk. U.S. Public Policy Research Team member Ariana Salvatore and Head of the Metals and Mining Team in North America Carlos De Alba discuss.----- Transcript -----Ariana Salvatore: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Ariana Salvatore from our U.S. Public Policy Research Team. Carlos De Alba: And I am Carlos De Alba, Head of the Metals and Mining Team in North America. Ariana Salvatore: On this special episode of the podcast, we'll discuss what we see as an inflection point for the U.S. metals and mining industry. It's Tuesday, September 19th, at 10 a.m. in New York. Ariana Salvatore: Since 1990, the U.S. has seen a significant increase in both the variety of imported minerals and the level of dependance on these imports. As of right now, U.S. reliance on imported critical minerals has reached a 30 year high, and simultaneously, investment in the industry is near its lowest point in decades. But as we're seeing the world transition to a multipolar model where supply chains are more regional than global, it's becoming ever more obvious that the U.S. needs to turn to reshoring in order to satisfy its growing need for these critical minerals. So, Carlos, before we get too deep in the weeds, let's start off with something simple. Can you define critical minerals for our audience? Carlos De Alba: Yeah. So the Energy Act of 2020 defined critical minerals as those which are essential to the economy and the national security of the United States. They also have a supply chain that is vulnerable to disruption and serve an essential function in the manufacturing of a product, the absence of which would have significant consequences for the economic and national security of the country. The Act also specified that critical minerals do not include fuel minerals, water, ice or snow, or common varieties of sand, gravel, stone and clay. The U.S. Geological Survey, or USGS, is a government agency in charge of creating the official list of critical minerals that are meet that criteria that I just mentioned. Ariana Salvatore: So given the importance of these critical minerals, what are some of the factors that led to this prolonged underinvestment in the metals and mining industry? And who have been the major exporters of critical minerals to the U.S. over the last three decades? Carlos De Alba: It is quite a complex issue, but the bottom line is that the US has scaled back its mineral extraction, processing and refining capabilities since the 1950s, because of environmental concerns and economic considerations like higher labor costs and lower economies of scale. As mining activities decline in the U.S., the country has increasingly relied on imports from China, Brazil, Mexico, South Africa, Indonesia, Canada and Australia, among others. Ariana Salvatore: So it's obvious that China is clearly in a powerful position to influence the global mineral markets. It's the first one on the list that you just mentioned. What is China to doing right now with respect to its exports of minerals and what is your outlook when you're thinking about the future? Carlos De Alba: Well, over the last 4 to 5 decades, China gradually took over the industry by heavily investing in exploration, mineral extraction, and more importantly, refining and processing capabilities. China's dominance over the world minerals processing supply chains has created, as you would expect, geopolitical and economic uncertainties can cause supply disruptions to crucial end markets such as green technologies and national security. A recent example of export curbs took place in July of this year, when China imposed export restrictions on two chipmaking minerals, gallium and uranium, citing national security concerns. The move was widely interpreted as a retaliation against the US and its allies for having imposed restrictions that caught China's access to Chipmaking technologies. Now this move by China was particularly relevant because the country produces over 80% of the world's gallium supply and 60% of germanium, and it is the primary supplier to the US representing more than 50% of these two minerals imports to the United States. But since we're on this topic Ariana, how are the US policymakers trying to help the strengthening of domestic supply chains? Ariana Salvatore: Right. So most things that involve building up the domestic sphere in order to kind of build resiliency or counter China's influence are quite popular bipartisan priorities. So we're seeing policymakers on both sides of the aisle indicating support for reshoring the critical mineral supply chain. That's mainly accomplished through legislation that targets things like tax incentives, or subsidies for corporates. On the regulatory front, it really comes down to easing the permitting process, which can be quite backlogged and delay the project pipeline. For some more context on that point, permitting on average takes about 7 to 10 years in the U.S. without taking into account the time spent on litigation, compared to about 2 to 3 years in other countries. So relaxing the permitting process, we think, is one key way that lawmakers can try to accelerate this reshoring of critical minerals in an increasingly insecure geopolitical world. Carlos De Alba: Now, the mining sector obviously has implications from an environmental point of view, and some of the aspects of the mining industry are at odds with sustainability business goals. So what would a significant increase in mining activity in the US will look like from a sustainability perspective? Ariana Salvatore: So this is really just a question of opposing factors. We do think that there are some clear benefits from a sustainability perspective when it comes to onshoring. For example, you have better oversight and reduced risks relating to human and labor rights violations, a reduction in global greenhouse gas emissions, assuming the extraction process here in the U.S. is held to higher ESG standards, and shortened transportation or supply chain routes. However, there's also a flipside which contains some obvious ESG concerns. First, you've seen the mining industry in the past be associated with human rights concerns, specifically related to impacts to local communities and of course, the hard to ignore implications of mining on nature and biodiversity. So at the end of the day, as I said, it's really a question of where that net effect is, and we think it's more in the positive column specifically because of that better oversight around the ESG pillars that is facilitated by onshoreing. But putting that to the side for a second, Carlos, when all is said and done, assuming the U.S. is actually able to do this, does it even have enough of its own mineral supplies in order to satisfy all its needs domestically? Carlos De Alba: Well, that's an interesting point, because in 24 of 50 minerals deemed critical by the USGS, the US either report less than 1% of the total global reserves or lack sufficient reserve data, which highlights the need for more comprehensive exploration and mining efforts. In the case of some battery making minerals like cobalt, nickel or vanadium, the US holds an average reserve level of only .5% of total global reserves. Now, on the positive side, the US ranks ninth in copper reserves, accounting for about 5% of total global reserves, and the country ranks sixth in rare earths reserves. Ariana, if we consider yet another relevant aspect for the discussion, what about the workforce? How is the US government addressing labor shortages in the mining industry? Ariana Salvatore: When it comes to the sector there's definitely a shortage of skilled workers in particular, which is being tackled I'd say through two distinct avenues. First of all, you have corporates which are trying to change the public perception of mining, and they're doing that primarily by elevating their operating standards and focusing on reducing possible environmental impacts. And then to your point, the you just mentioned, you also have the government doing its part by launching workforce initiatives. Those are basically programs that are set up to incentivize higher education institutions to develop critical minerals education programs and research and training efforts. Those are funneled through legislation like the CHIPS and Science Act, which was signed into law late last year. A popular saying within the mining industry is, 'if you can't grow it, you mine it'. Given that mining is a critical source of raw materials which touch upon nearly every supply chain, Carlos, can you sketch out some of the broader industrial and economic implications of a potential mining boom? Carlos De Alba: You're absolutely right. The development of a new domestic mine supply and the required processing capabilities will influence multiple industries here in the US. Beyond obviously, miners and exploration companies, a potential mining boom in the country will generate significant demand for equipment and machinery manufacturers, as well as engineering and environmental firms. It would also foster a more rapid and secure development of supply chains that rely heavily on minerals like batteries and electric vehicles companies. Ariana Salvatore: Carlos, thanks for taking the time to talk. Carlos De Alba: Thank you, it was great speaking with you Ariana. Ariana Salvatore: And thanks for listening.
