    Apparently, e.g., Auxico simply accepts the DRC RE mine owner’s signature as a mark of ESG compliance. CRTM apparently runs its own mine in DRC so they have first-hand control in terms of meeting ESG requirements. DRC gov’s intentions…?

    Will first-hand verification of ESG mine compliance be a required criterion of any DRC feedstock being used in the new critical metals value chains by brand name conscious mid and end-line manufacturers? I think when it comes to environmental dogma. perception is reality. Therefore, perceptions will have to be changed (look at e.g., Lynas’s environmental battle in Malaysia, even now, never mind last decade).
