2023.08.25 在我们意识到之前，全球的铜市场正接近一个拐点。 一方面，作为地球上使用最广泛的金属之一，铜的需求一直稳步增长，与经济的增长步伐相匹配。现在，由于电气化需求的增加，铜的需求更加迫切。 这是因为铜具有出色的电导性能，因此成为可再生能源设施（如风能、太阳能、水能和热能）以及电动汽车建设的关键组成部分。 另一方面，供应问题已经成为普遍关注的焦点，因为能源基础设施对铜的需求增加，使全球生产商不得不赶上迅速增长的需求。 很有可能，我们很快将会看到铜供应不足的情况，这将严重影响全球减碳努力。事实上，一些世界上最大的矿业公司和金属交易商已经警告，供应短缺可能会在2025年甚至更早出现。 铜在电气化中的需求 这一预测的基础是未曾见过的、可观的铜需求在未来几年中的预期增长。 除了铜在建筑电线、管道、交通运输、电力传输和通信等传统应用领域外，现在还有额外的电气化需求。 为了推动能源转型，据估计，将需要数百万英尺的铜电线来强化全球电力网，还需要数百万吨的铜来建设风能和太阳能发电场。 根据铜发展协会 (CDA) 的数据，一个 […]

2023.06.17 随着清洁能源转型的快速推进，关键矿物现在处于国际讨论的前沿，因为它们是我们许多现代技术的基石，对国家安全和经济繁荣至关重要。 对于世界领先的经济体美国而言，确保这些矿产的可靠供应尤为重要，这不仅可以维持其主导地位，还可以摆脱对中国等主要竞争对手的供应依赖。 因此，该国一直忙于与其主要盟友联系，以加强关键矿物的供应并使其多样化。今年到目前为止，美国已与日本和澳大利亚签署了合作协议，以确保其拥有稳健的供应链和最新能源技术的专业知识。 日本的协议也有望成为备受期待的与欧盟达成协议的框架，该协议仍在谈判中。 早在 2022 年 6 月，在俄罗斯入侵乌克兰之后，美国及其七国集团伙伴已经启动了全球基础设施和投资伙伴关系 (PGII)，以建立清洁能源供应链。他们还签署了矿产安全合作伙伴关系，以生产、加工和回收关键矿产。 这些举措标志着一种通常被称为“联合产业政策”的现象的出现，即各国在国际层面协调其产业战略并共同建立供应链。 约翰霍普金斯大学的一项研究发现，民主国家之间的伙伴关系将能够生产足够的矿物 […]

2022.03.12 多年来，北美关键矿产的供应，即清洁能源转型的基础部分，一直是决策者和企业关注的焦点。 一方面，未来几年对用于制造电动汽车和储能应用的原材料的需求将激增。 彭博社新能源金融公司（Bloomberg New Energy Finance）估计，到2030年，锂和镍等矿物的消费量将至少是当前水平的五倍（参见下图）。 这种预测对这些材料的供应提出了巨大的疑问。标准普尔全球（S&P Global）12月的一份报告预计，由于使用量超过了产量，消耗了库存，锂材料将在2022年出现短缺。 虽然锂等金属的供应正在增长，但即使是两位数的增长率（如去年所见），也可能不足以满足我们的汽车电气化需求。 在北美，情况更为严峻，因为美国和加拿大的大部分电动汽车原材料都依赖进口。两国多年来一直忽视着针对电池矿产的勘探与矿山的建造。而考虑到世界政治的动荡程度，这是一种冒险的赌注。 在最终意识到美国供应链的脆弱性后，美国政府于2018年制定了一份清单，列出了35种被认为对其国家和经济安全至关重要的矿物。而如今，这一名单已增至近50种矿物，其中70%仍由其两个主要竞争对手 （俄罗斯和中国）供应。 […]

The global supply chain for graphite is severely vulnerable to disruptions due to the near monopolistic nature of the market.
Currently nearly all graphite processing takes place in China because of the ready availability of graphite there, weak environmental standards, and low costs.

The supply-demand imbalance for graphite has meant a rising price environment for the mineral since 2017. Roskill analysts believe prices will likely remain high with resilient demand for EV raw materials, major suppliers getting hit by covid-19, and environmental crackdowns in China.
This is great news for companies exploring for graphite. Our Canadian favorite is Lomiko Metals (TSX.V:LMR, OTC:LMRMF, FSE:DH8C), hunting for the grayish-black mineral in the Canadian province of Quebec.

If you needed upwards of 50 million tonnes of copper over the next five years, and had very little production of your own, what would you do?

May 6, 2021
Demand for graphite used in EV batteries is set to increase by 15 times over the next decade, rising from 200,000 to 3 million tonnes annually. On the other side of the equation, global graphite supply is expected to remain tight for the foreseeable future. Last year, the world’s total output came to 952,600 tonnes, a staggering 15% decline over 2019.
With an intensifying national focus surrounding EV raw materials, it’s no surprise that high-priority designation was given earlier this year to Graphite One Inc. (TSX-V:GPH) (OTCQB:GPHOF) to develop what is possibly the largest known graphite resource in the US.

Tin currently has the highest value of the major base metals, three times the value of copper and nine times the value of zinc.
Chances are the value of zinc could stay high for a while. This is because the global tin market is in the midst of a historic squeeze (or one might call a “super squeeze”).
One potential source of tin that we should be looking at lies in the Pasco region of central Peru. This is where we find Tinka Resources (TSXV:TK, OTCP:TKRFF) and its flagship Ayawilca project.

The big question is, will there be enough copper for future electrification needs, globally? Plus all the other modern-day uses of copper?
The short answer is no, not without a massive acceleration of copper production worldwide.
Global leaders have set strict decarbonization targets that require green-focused infrastructure built with copper. This, combined with a massive rise in government expenditures and years of underinvestment, has investment bank Goldman Sachs predicting that another commodity super-cycle is on the horizon.

“The adage of ‘if it can’t be grown it must be mined’ serves as a reminder that electric vehicles, transitional energy, and a green economy start with metals. The supply chain for batteries, wind turbines, solar panels, electric motors, transmission lines, 5G — everything that is needed for a Green Economy starts with metals and mining. Demand for these metals, principally lithium, nickel and cobalt on the battery side and copper, uranium and rare earth elements on the energy side is expected to rise rapidly.”

Years of neglecting its critical metal supplies is catching up with the United States, as demand for the raw materials needed to build a new green economy that rejects fossil fuels gears up.

Though early stage, the possibility of widespread sulfide nickel mineralization at Surimeau looks promising. The grades and rock value given here are conservative; the 0.224% Ni used to calculate the rock value of US$41.83 per tonne is based on only three intercepts from three holes drilled at Surimeau, less than 200m. Highlights from summer 2020 grab sampling show grades up to 0.495% Ni. If those grades start showing up in drill core, Renforth could really be onto something.

Mainstream media and the large mining companies are finally catching on to what we at AOTH have been saying for the past two years: the copper market is heading for a severe supply shortage due to a perfect storm of under-exploration/ lack of discovery of new deposits, clashing with a huge increase in demand due to electrification and decarbonization.

The common denominator for each countries climate action plan is electric vehicles; that’s easy to identify. But whether economies can acquire sufficient raw materials to reach “full electrification” is another story — it's a problem that has yet to be solved.
For years, the US has been heavily reliant on foreign supply of minerals required for key areas such as national defense, electronics and medical equipment, and its EV sector is no different.
Under Trump’s executive order (September 2020), graphite was identified as one of four minerals considered essential to the nation’s “national security, foreign policy and economy.”

Unsurprisingly, many of the base metals, which are invaluable to many sectors of the global economy, are found within Canada’s critical minerals list. Among them is zinc, an essential ingredient used to build our roads, bridges, buildings, and cars.

Goldman Sachs says that the next structural bull market for commodities will be driven by spending on green energy.
The fossil-fueled based transportation system needs to be electrified, and the switch must be made from oil, gas, and coal-powered power plants to those which run on solar, wind and thorium-produced nuclear energy. If we have any hope of cleaning up the planet, before the point of no return, a massive decarbonization needs to take place.
In a recent report, commodities consultancy Wood Mackenzie said an investment of over $1 trillion will be required in key energy transition metals over the next 15 years, just to meet the growing needs of decarbonization.

The thawing of permafrost is yet another manifestation of climate change, that populations living near it will have to deal with in the coming decades as global warming accelerates, particularly in the polar regions
Mining is often deemed complicit in the rise of greenhouse gas emissions, given its use of heavy machinery and ground disturbance, but in this case, in areas where the ground is permanently frozen but starting to thaw, operations can be negatively impacted, and big miners are having to shell out millions. We have seen the implications of thawing permafrost at Teck’s Red Dog Mine in Alaska, and at Norilsk Nickel’s Oktyabrsky and Taimyrsky mines in Siberia.
The problem is not going away; in fact, there is every indication it will get worse.

Peru-focused Tinka Resources (TSXV:TK, OTCP:TKRFF) has the backing of a major player in the Peruvian zinc and silver market, adding significant heft to its flagship Ayawilca zinc-silver play.
Nexa Resources (TSX:NEXA), one of the world’s largest zinc producers, and owner of the only zinc smelter in Peru, purchased 28.895 million common shares from an arms-length shareholder, giving the Luxembourg-based firm an 8.8% stake in Tinka.
The transaction means Tinka Resources now has two major miners as shareholders — the other being Buenaventura SA (NYSE:BVN) — along with JP Morgan UK.

North America relies heavily on foreign supplies of critical minerals — the raw materials it needs to become a leader in high technology, transportation, energy, and defense. Materials like lithium, graphite, and tin.
For years, the United States and Canada did not bother to explore for these minerals and build mines. Globalization brought with it the mentality that all countries are free traders, and friends. Dirty mining and processing? NIMBY. Let China do it, let the DRC do it, let whoever do it.
