IMARC 2023: Exploring the relationship between Indigenous Peoples and the mining industry

The global mining industry is at a critical juncture in its engagement with First Nations communities, with progress on economic participation and employment being tempered by ongoing challenges around cultural heritage and land use. The destruction of Indigenous heritage sites in the western Pilbara in 2020, which attracted world headlines, has brought the relationship between mining leaders and traditional landowners into sharp focus. But while there continues to be challenges around environmental and cultural heritage, attention is also focusing on how mining can boost the employment, skills and economic participation of the First Nations communities in which they operate.

Tellurium Could Accelerate Transition to Green Energy

First Tellurium Corp. (CSE: FTEL) (OTCQB: FSTTF), a Delta, Canada-based company that is currently developing next-generation battery technologies, may play a significant role in the global green-energy transition thanks to a mineral called tellurium. The mineral has applications in everything from solid-state battery designs to thermoelectric devices and solar panels that can transform energy from the sun into relatively low-carbon energy. While conventional batteries use a polymer gel or liquid electrolyte to move lithium ions from the anode and cathode, solid-state batteries rely on solid electrolytes to carry ions between the electrodes. Lithium-tellurium batteries outclass conventional lithium-ion batteries in terms…

Silver Occupies Enviable Position Between Precious, Industrial Metals

For investors interested in metals as investment vehicles, the choice between investing in precious metals such as gold and platinum or industrial metals such as aluminum and copper can be a difficult one. While precious metals can act as a store of value and prevent asset depreciation, the metals do not provide investors with monthly interest and are less attractive when interest rates are high. On the other hand, industrial metals enjoy constant demand from industrial sectors and can be incredibly lucrative over the long-term but can be subject to disruptive market forces such as recession.

Could ‘Transition Credits’ Make the Switch Away from Coal Economically Viable?

Asia is the largest producer of emissions on the planet, accounting for more than one-half of global emissions and tripling the level of emissions from the United States, currently the world’s second-largest emitter. With China leading as Asia’s top emitter at over one-quarter of global emissions, the continent has been keen on cutting its reliance on coal in favor of cleaner energies. However, major Asian nations such as China are heavily reliant on coal for energy production, especially as energy shortages and high prices have made other sources of energy nonviable in recent months. Transitioning away from coal to cleaner…
