In the global race to achieve net zero emissions, and to quell China’s geopolitical power, the hunt is on for critical minerals.
One curiosity of this is that researchers are trying to work out if large deposits of these minerals were left behind as waste in abandoned mines decades ago.
The Australian Critical Minerals Research Centre’s Carl Spander told Sky News Australia the country has amazing assets in terms of the metal endowment in the ground and the potential to discover more.

Let's hope we get the processing done in Australia. The Greens will hate this, they are straight out anti mining.
Let's rip the earth apart so that we can be sustainable. A clown show.
Idiots
Ah, well I hope China hasn't bought up Australia's saving grace…..from their dominance
Oh oops…. banana Joe got on it…..smfh….
Oz has one of the highest concentrations of Both Thorium and Rare Earths – the most important and heavier Actinide rare earths are usually found with fertile (not fissile) safe to handle Thorium (half-life 14.5 billion years; hence providing the opportunity to supply world wide Thorium molten salt reactors with an almost fee fuel – included Australia and Indonesia (who are at least 5 years ahead with their 7×500MegaWatt liquid metal Thorium ion molten sodium fluoride salt burner energy converters; (built in a shipyard and towed to site for $1200/kiloWatt) and will provide pre-profit electricity to the grid for less than $40/Megawatt.hour (includes all costs of fuel, maintenance, security and 4 yearly recycling the empty reactor can with new graphite moderator).
Think about just how stupid the title of this video is. Net zero w rare minerals, how do you get those out of the ground,what do you use to get those out of the ground? Oh thats right,, big machines and also, what do those machimes you use to get those rare things out of the earth run on?Oh that's right diesel fuel. This whole met zero,.climate thing is such absolute non sense. Just give it up already. We don't want out lives ruined because of your little climate game u are playing
Mining rare earth minerals, plus production, with rainbows & unicorns, assures the global race to achieve net zero emissions. 🙄
conflict minerals, destroying beautiful nature….for what….so i can buy and buy a new iphone….omg
world need more CO2
Rare earths that need dug out of ground by fossil fuel intensive mining machinery. As well as the refining then needed and dumping of the waste products. Im not against either renewables and non-renewables, I'm simply showing who so called renewables require non renewables to even function in the first place.
Plant life breathes carbon dioxide, if we limit it will we kill plant life, which in turn produces oxygen for animals
Give me a break.
Of course it is coz all of them are found in China…. Are you waking up yet?

This will be sending Sky viewers cognitive dissonance, off the chart.
Australians beating the Chinese at mining rare earth metals and enabling more renewables.
If 2+ billion daily commuters aren't going to get out of their 3 ton wheelchairs then NOTHING ELSE WE DO WILL MATTER!!!
Net zero is what politicians accomplish.
Does any other person out there understand why China is keen to buddy up with the Taliban?
It is because of the rare earth deposits! Also like China they HATE the West!
John, Australia.
Strip mining by the greenies. Blah, blah, blah.
No wonder they want full control of Australia #cnn #bbc #pbs #abc #nbc #msnbc #skynews #vox #goodmorningamerica #kimbel Father thank you for opening their eyes in Jesus name 🕊️
How much fossil fuel energy is required to mine and process?
Vital metals also produces rare earth metals in Canada
5 cents asx at the moment
This an Aussie company
Don't worry, if Labor wins the next federal election they will sell us out to the Chinese for aldi bags of cash.
If China won't clean up their notorious pollution levels then why should we.. we don't even make the top ten list of countries who emit the most carbon
boycott the chyna winter games
boycott everything made in chyna
The mining of rare earth causes huge amounts id pollution and recycling it will cause more.
How can this be Green or save the Earth?
And the Australia Government will sell it all off to overseas companies to make them self money and not the people of Australia money
Have we forgotten the main motivation for Japan to invade asia was oil and minerals! Now I wonder who might have a similar motivation in the years ahead looking across the China sea!!!?
Here's an idea 💡 hydrogen powered cars. Exhaust is water vapor. 💧
