We know the world needs minerals and metals. Not only for our everyday lives, but also to build the green energy transition. We also know it’s hard to get new mines permitted. Given the increasing demand for minerals and metals, Brian Mashford shares how we can get critical minerals to market faster. He discusses reprocessing tailings, improving productivity in existing operations, and embracing technology partners. Brian ends with a call to action for the mining industry to work with permitting agencies to help us meet the critical mineral needs of today and for future generations.
