Zak Mir talks to Colin Bird, Executive Chairman, Kendrick Resources, as the mineral exploration and development company, announces that it has entered into a binding and exclusive Option Agreement to acquire not less than 70% interest on terms to be agreed with Bonya Exploration Pty Namibia.Kendrick Resources Plc (LON: KEN) has entered into a binding and exclusive option agreement to acquire a minimum 70% interest in two rare earth exploration licences, EPL4458 and EPL6691, in Namibia. The exclusivity period runs until May 19, 2026.The licences, located southwest of Aus, have returned encouraging historical results, with peak Total Rare Earth Oxide grades of up to 4.47% and an average grade of 3.12%. Sampling has identified significant concentrations of neodymium, praseodymium and samarium, elements that are critical for the manufacture of high-performance permanent magnets.Kendrick said it will immediately begin assaying, trenching and drill-target identification as part of its due diligence programme, ahead of a decision on whether to exercise the option to secure the majority interest.The binding and exclusivity period is valid until 19 May 2026 and can be extended with the consent of Bonya. Highlights· The licenses are situated 55km southwest of the town of Aus, approximately 65km southeast of the deepwater port of Lüderitz· The two license areas are known as Twyfelskupje and Keishohe and are hosted within a Carbonatite and Alkaline intrusive structural corridor· The two licenses represent well-defined, high-grade targets located within a larger highly prospective area under license· The Twyfelskupje Carbonatite Complex forms a circular group of hills with a diameter of 1km· Historical channel sampling and grab sampling returned peak Rare Earth Oxides ("REO") grades of 4.47% and 4.18% with an average REO of 3.12%· ICP analysis undertaken in Canada, returned high Rare Earth Elements concentrations, greater than 10,000ppm for a number of elements, including Neodymium, Praseodymium and Samarium, which are all important components of high-performance, high-temperature magnets· The Keishohe Carbonatite Complex indicates scope for an additional three satellite near surface occurrences· Work will commence immediately on assaying, currently available but unassayed core, further trenching and identification of drilling targets· Kendrick will concurrently carry out all necessary legal, financial and regulatory checks before determining whether to exercise the optionColin Bird, Executive Chairman of Kendrick Resources Plc commented: "Rare Earths are globally accepted as new age strategic materials and these licenses are located in Namibia, a country recognized for its support of the development of natural resource projects. The historical Rare Earth values are higher than those generally reported in the industry and the high values of the magnetic elements are very encouraging since such elements are much sought after.The licenses have areas which are drill ready and historically been well evaluated with geophysics and exploration fieldwork. We intend to accelerate our due diligence and technical preparedness in order to release the high potential of the project area. We will keep shareholders advised as our evaluation phase develops."

Nationwide and in Indiana anti-ICE protests continued this weekend, a call for accountability for Renee Good's death. Recovering rare earth elements from toxic coal ash could be a win-win for Indiana's environment and its economy. Indiana is one of two new national drone test sites, as named by President Donald Trump's administration. A bill that would designate the breaded pork tenderloin as the state's official sandwich has passed its first hurdle. Respiratory viruses are on the rise across Indiana, including influenza and COVID. Next Monday's national championship game in Miami will be a homecoming forIndiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza.

This week's episode features a discussion of the recent US federal investment in a privately held mine—the Mountain Pass Rare Earth Mine in California—with host Daniel Raimi and podcast guest Tom Moerenhout, a professor at Columbia University and leader of a critical minerals initiative at the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs. Moerenhout talks about the current US dependence on foreign imports for rare earth elements, which are used to manufacture things like wind turbines, batteries, missiles, and airplanes. While recent federal investment in the Mountain Pass mine puts financial risk on the US government, Moerenhout says that this type of approach could help the United States reduce its reliance on other countries for rare earth elements.

Petro also offers some advice for young people who are thinking about studying engineering.
Coffee with Samso | Episode 209 | UWA Club, Crawley, Western Australia In this latest episode of Coffee with Samso, I reconnect with exploration legend Jon Hronsky to unpack one of the most significant emerging geological stories in Australia: the Westrunter carbonatite province. This conversation builds on John's recent presentation at the AIG's event and dives deep into how Encounter Resources Limited (ASX: ENR) has methodically uncovered what may become a globally significant carbonatite-hosted niobium and rare earth element (REE) district in remote Western Australia. From big structures and conceptual targeting to nuanced mineral system thinking, this discussion is a masterclass in modern greenfields exploration. It reminds us that true discovery lies in resisting the urge to pigeonhole — and embracing complexity. Samso Concluding Comments In the world of mineral exploration, for me, few conversations are more engaging in terms of explaining the complexities of mineral exploration than that with Jon Hronsky. This episode is about the conversation of Western Australia standing at the edge of a new global province — and it's not lithium, gold, or copper. It's carbonatites, niobium, and rare earths. This story is what I call the power of staying open-minded in geology. You go in searching for an IOCG and come out with a Carbonatite. You chase magnetics but find your answer in subtle alteration. You expect Olympic Dam–style signatures but discover something without the iron. I have had so many conversations on what real mineral exploration looks like — messy, adaptive, and powered by deep systems thinking. The significance of West Arunta is not just what Encounter Resources has drilled — it's the framework they're exposing and building. Encounter is opening the door to a scale of mineral endowment that few in the market are fully appreciating yet. As Jon notes, greenfields isn't about hope — it's about managing a portfolio with creative concepts, disciplined testing, and repeatable targeting. This province — if it matures — could become the next big thing not just in WA, but globally. 00:00 Start. 00:10 Introduction. 01:03 Introducing Jon Hronsky. 01:12 Jon Introduction. 02:30 Mineral System Approach and Discovering the West Arunta Carbonatite Province. 03:19 Jon's view of Mineral Systems - The similarity of geological relationships. 04:14 Reason why Encounter get involved in the West Arunta region. 05:29 The IOCG Connection - The Beginning. 06:34 The Roy Woodall Concept of tenement consolidation. 07:02 The remoteness of the West Arunta Project. 07:40 The Discovery hole. 08:49 The Geophysical Conundrum - Carbonatite Signatures for Encounter Resources. 10:19 The Hybrid Conversation of Mineral Mineralisation - IOCG without the Iron. 12:46 Jon's Concept of Search Space. 14:45 The fundamentals of the West Arunta Province for Large Scale Mineralisation. 18:17 Funding the Reality of taking Discovery to Mining. 19:58 Any learnings from the discovery techniques by WA1 Resources? 21:44 The Competitive advantage of Free Government Datasets. 23:21 Current project acquisition from free data. 24:08 Chemistry of Kimberlites and Lamprophyres could be a clue to future discoveries? 26:01 Are there any thinking in the past that could help modern mineral exploration? 27:49 Is there a place left for Field Mapping? 28:39 Are the learnings of modern exploration being taught to younger geologists? 29:54 AI Targeting. 30:56 Risk reward ratio for Greenfield Exploration 32:29 The difference in Greenfield and Near-Mine Exploration. 33:43 The challenges to provide capital and skillset to do proper mineral exploration. 34:45 What advice would you give to the incoming young geologists today? 36:43 Conclusion.

Critical minerals are required for the manufacturing of electronics, aerospace equipment, medical devices, and renewable energy technologies, making them essential for a country's economic and national security. These materials have been at the center of China's domestic and foreign policy for many decades, and China's ability to integrate internal industrial policies with foreign trade and investment policies has allowed them to gain dominance in the market. Meanwhile, the US has lagged behind China in terms of both access to and processing technology of critical minerals. The country has been heavily dependent on China for its critical minerals and struggles to find an alternative supplier.China's announcement to impose export restrictions on seven rare earth elements on April 4th has opened many conversations surrounding critical minerals, especially regarding the US and its supply chain vulnerabilities. What has China done to achieve their global dominance in the critical minerals sector, and what can the US do to address the overdependence issue they are facing today? To answer these questions and more, host Bonnie Glaser is joined by Gracelin Baskaran, the director of the Critical Minerals Security Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. She is a mining economist whose area of expertise is critical minerals and trade.

China's new export controls on rare earth elements (REEs) are a problem for EVs, renewables, and other industries that rely on the minerals, especially the permanent magnets they're used in. The vast majority of the global supply chain is in China. Plus, Chinese companies control supply chain operations around the world. So is it possible to stand up a rare earth supply chain outside of China's control? In this episode, Shayle talks to Ahmad Ghahreman, co-founder and CEO of REE recycler Cyclic Materials. (Energy Impact Partners, where Shayle is a partner, invests in Cyclic.) They cover topics like: REE 101: the basket of 17 minerals, how they're mined and processed, and the most important five Why an REE supply chain hasn't been built outside of China, even though the raw materials exist outside the country The timeline of Chinese export controls leading up to the April escalation and what could come next The specifics of what's limited, including oxides, alloys, and magnets Why Ahmad is optimistic about building an ex-China supply chain Other potential pathways, like recycling and designing more REEs-efficient products Recommended resources: The New York Times: The Mine Is American.

Just weeks before he was elected president of the United States, during a conversation at the Economic Club of Chicago, Donald Trump declared, “The most beautiful word in the dictionary is ‘tariff.' And it's my favorite word.” As the president-elect takes to the bully pulpit, leaders of nations threatened with new tariffs are calling Trump or even flying down to Mar-a-Lago, as Canadian President Trudeau did recently, to argue their case. Stanford Law Professor Alan O. Sykes joins Pam and Rich for this episode to help make sense of the fascinating world of trade, tariffs, and the global economy. Al is a leading expert on the application of economics to legal problems whose most recent scholarship is focused on international economic relations. His writing and teaching have encompassed international trade, torts, contracts, insurance, antitrust, international investment law and economic analysis of law. He is the author most recently of the book The Law and Economics of International Trade Agreements.

Sykes >>> Stanford Law page(00:00:00) Chapter 1: Introduction and Explanation of Tariffs Rich Ford and Pam Karlan introduce Professor Alan Sykes, a leading expert in international trade law, to explore the basics of tariffs. They discuss what tariffs are, how they function like a tax on imports, and who ultimately bears the cost. Sykes explains the economic complexities, such as elasticity of demand and supply, and highlights how tariffs impact U.S. consumers and foreign producers.They discuss how tariffs often fail to significantly increase manufacturing jobs and the potential downsides of retaliation and supply chain disruptions.(00:08:36) Chapter 2: Policy Implications and Optimal Tariff Strategies Alan Sykes unpacks the policy decisions behind tariffs, such as balancing national security concerns and economic efficiency. Sykes explains the concept of "optimal tariffs" and critiques proposals like 100% tariffs, arguing for targeted approaches such as subsidies for sensitive industries. The hosts highlight the distinction between product-specific measures and country-focused tariffs in maintaining supply chain resilience. (00:12:28) Chapter 3: The Evolution of U.S. Free Trade Policy The group explores the post-World War II consensus around free trade and how it has shifted in recent years. Alan Sykes outlines bipartisan changes to U.S. trade policy, the impact of the "China shock," and the shift towards an "America First" approach under both Trump and Biden administrations.(00:16:43) Chapter 4: Tariffs, Trade Wars, and Public Misunderstandings The discussion delves into the politics of tariffs and their economic implications. Alan Sykes explains why tariffs remain politically popular despite their economic inefficiency, the mechanics of trade wars, and the historical example of the Smoot-Hawley Tariff. They also discuss how tariffs and retaliation, such as restrictions on rare earth elements, could affect U.S. industries.(00:23:26) Chapter 5: Multilateral Trade Agreements and National Security Alan Sykes traces the history of multilateral trade institutions, focusing on the GATT, WTO, and USMCA. Sykes explains the U.S.'s recent retreat from WTO commitments, the renegotiation of NAFTA, and the controversial use of national security clauses to justify tariffs and sanctions.

We've been thinking (and talking, and writing) a lot lately about the forces that are shaping the future of agriculture. There are the more obvious ones– artificial intelligence and mandatory climate disclosures– to the less obvious, like the ubiquity of remotely sensed data and geoengineering. All of these forces, and others like them, are not only acting on ag and the institutions the industry depends on, they're also acting on one another, evolving and compounding all the time. We investigated these forces, and four critical scenarios that they might create, in our latest report, Navigating a Future of Cross-Sectoral Forces, commissioned by AgriFutures Australia. This week, Tenacious co-founders Sarah and Matthew are joined by research collaborator Sarah Mock and Shane Thomas, author of Upstream Ag Insights. Together, they discuss: For more information and resources, visit our website. The information in this post is not investment advice or a recommendation to invest.

As the world pivots towards a green energy future, the dominance of rare earth elements has never been more crucial. Yet, while the West has been preoccupied with other geopolitical challenges, China has quietly taken control of this vital industry. This episode delves into the strategic manoeuvres that allowed China to secure a near-monopoly on rare earth production and the consequential vulnerabilities faced by Western economies. By focusing on technological advancements and resource acquisition, China has positioned itself as the gatekeeper of essential materials for modern technology and renewable energy. Has the West, with its divided attention, failed to anticipate this shift and what are the strategic missteps that led to this imbalance?

Rare earth elements are a group of 17 metals used in a wide range of things that make modern life possible, including batteries, magnets, LED light bulbs, phone screens, and catalytic converters.These elements are essential to a green economy because they are integral to many technologies designed to have low environmental impact. However, mining these metals is a dirty, complex, and costly process. And as the world transitions towards more clean energy production, the demand for them will continue to grow.One possible solution is to recycle rare earth elements when they're discarded in electronics waste. On stage in Ames, Iowa, Ira Flatow talks with Dr. Ikenna Nlebedim and Dr. Denis Prodius, two materials scientists from the Critical Materials Institute at the Ames National Laboratory who have developed a new acid-free method to recycle rare earth metals found in magnets.Transcript for this segment will be available the week after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

Rare earth elements (REEs) are essential ingredients in electric vehicles, wind turbines, and many electronics. As with most critical minerals, China controls the vast majority of the REE supply chain. And so when it banned the export of REE processing technology last December, it raised concerns about supply. So what will it take to secure the supply of REEs? In this episode, Shayle talks to Ahmad Ghahreman, CEO and cofounder of Cyclic Metals, a rare earth elements recycling company. (Energy Impact Partners, where Shayle is a partner, invests in Cyclic). They cover topics like: The five high-value REEs used in the permanent magnets inside EVs, wind turbines, and other electronics The many steps in the supply chain, from extraction to end-of-life Building magnets without REEs Increasing production outside of China The role of recycling Why Ahmad is optimistic about developing a supply chain in North America Recommended Resources: MIT Technology Review: The race to produce rare earth elements IEEE Spectrum: Who Will Free EV Motors from the Rare Earth Monopoly?
To build electric vehicles, solar panels, cell phones, and millions of other devices means the world must dig more mines to extract lithium, copper, and other vital building blocks. But mines are deeply unpopular, even as they have a role to play in fighting climate change and powering crucial technologies. Shermer and Scheyder discuss: • How much rare earth metals will we need by 2050, 2100, and beyond? • How do lithium-ion batteries work compared to lead-acid? What are the alternatives? • Will EVs completely replace all other cars? • Can renewables completely replace fossil fuels without nuclear? • How mining works in the U.S., China, Chile, Russia, elsewhere. Ernest Scheyder is a senior correspondent for Reuters, covering the green energy transition and the minerals that undergird it. He previously covered the US shale oil revolution, politics, and the environment at the Associated Press.
