, ,

Toronto, January 18, 2023 – The Critical Minerals Institute, which was founded for education, collaboration, and to provide professional opportunities to meet the critical minerals supply chain challenges, is pleased to announce it has published a hit list of the 14 critical minerals common to all the official American, Canadian, Australian, British and European critical minerals lists. Published on the new CMI website at CriticalMineralsInstitute.com, the Critical Minerals list was compiled by CMI Board member Alastair Neill and may be accessed in the CMI Library.

The Critical Minerals Institute (CMI) is an international organization for critical mineral companies and professionals designed to address relevant issues relating to the establishment of secure supply chains from mine to manufacturing in not just rare earths but all 50 mineral commodities identified by the United States Geological Survey that are “critical to the U.S. economy and national security after an extensive multi-agency assessment.” These critical minerals are required not just for battery materials and electric vehicles, but also for future green technologies and energy production.

“The CMI’s website is a go-to resource for critical minerals news and information,” said Critical Minerals Institute Founder Tracy Weslosky. “It will bring together leading companies, investors, government agencies and industry experts interested in exciting new opportunities in securing domestic supply chains.”

The CMI’s 14 Most Elusive Critical Minerals Hit List includes the following critical minerals:

  1. Antimony (Sb)
  2. Bismuth (Bi)
  3. Cobalt (Co)
  4. Gallium (Ga)
  5. Graphite (C)
  6. Indium (In)
  7. Lithium (Li)
  8. Magnesium (Mg)
  9. Niobium (Nb)
  10. Platinum Group of Metals (PGMs)
  11. Rare Earth Elements – Of the 17 REEs, the CMI prioritizes the following 4: Neodymium (Nd), Praseodymium (Pr), Dysprosium (Dy) and Terbium (Tb).
  12. Tantalum (Ta)
  13. Tungsten (W)
  14. Vanadium (V)

The Critical Minerals Institute has already held its highly successful inaugural summit in November 2022, with over a hundred international experts, investors and critical minerals companies gathered in Toronto, Canada, to hear over 20 speakers and world-renown panelists talk on the theme The Race to Achieve a Critical Minerals Supply Chain. This year’s highly anticipated summit is scheduled for June 14-15, 2023, in Toronto. Keynote speakers such as Mark Chalmers of Energy Fuels Inc. have already confirmed.

The Critical Minerals Institute website was created to offer education, collaboration and an online resource to learn about critical mineral projects, emerging technologies, legislative initiatives, government funding, human capital needs, and capital market investment opportunities.

    This 14 Critical Minerals Hit List is one that I urge people to review. I am seeing the web populated with outrageous claims based on generalizations where the source is banking on an uninformed audience. Would like to thank CMI for investing in knowledge sharing as we collaborate towards increasing access to facts towards assisting investors, companies and industry in building these supply chains.
