In a recent InvestorIntel interview, Jack Lifton spoke with Dr. David Dreisinger, Director and Vice President Metallurgy at Search Minerals Inc. (TSXV: SMY) about Search’s results around magnetic separation testing for producing rare earth concentrates from in the Port Hope Simpson Critical Materials District in SE Labrador.

In this InvestorIntel interview, which may also be viewed on YouTube (click here to subscribe to the InvestorIntel Channel), Dr. Dreisinger went on to say that Search Minerals’ Silver Fox rare earths deposit hosts a very high occurrence of zirconium and hafnium. With a plan to extract these critical materials as co-products with the rare earths, Dr. Dreisinger describes this as a “big breakthrough” for reducing overall cost in the extraction processes. He also discusses how the world is moving towards a non-Chinese supply chain of many critical materials and that  “the time is now for rare earths”.

In a recent InvestorIntel interview, Tracy Weslosky speaks with Geoff Atkins, Managing Director of Vital Metals Limited (ASX: VML), about how Joe Biden’s victory will affect the critical materials market and how Australia has a big part to play in the global rare earths supply chain.

In this InvestorIntel interview, which may also be viewed on YouTube (click here to subscribe to the InvestorIntel Channel), Geoff went on to say that Biden’s victory, combined with the rising demand for electric vehicles and  is going to be a positive for the critical minerals industry overall — “We are in a bit of a perfect storm with regards to critical materials.”

Geoff then goes on to say, “We have a large consumer driven demand for energy efficiency, electrification, and miniaturization which all require critical minerals. At the same time, you have statutory and regulatory pushes for reduced emissions. Lastly you have a geopolitical situation which is also driving the need for diversified supply chain in these minerals.” Adding, “You add all of those three things together and you are left with a significant increase in demand and interest in the critical minerals space.”
