An engineer trying to use Mining as a powerful force for good. My views.

@LEPCornwall_IoS This is the saddest news about a wonderful human being. So many memories flooding back working with Mark and how he somehow kept so calm in the most trying of circumstances. He will be hugely missed as a great statesman for Cornwall and a good friend.

@stats_feed Price of lithium has gone to insane levels! Tesla might actually have to get into the mining & refining directly at scale, unless costs improve.

There is no shortage of the element itself, as lithium is almost everywhere on Earth, but pace of extraction/refinement is slow.

And not a single bit of this should be a surprise with a number (including @sdmoores) having forecast it for nearly a decade.

@Worley_ECR is teaming up with @CornishLithium celebrating Cornish engineering in the past industrial revolution and showcasing its important contribution to the next. Come see us at @waterandsteam 1-3 Jan 2022

[Cornish Lithium @CornishLithium]

We hope to meet lots of London based Cornish people this Bank Holiday weekend at @waterandsteam nr Kew Bridge. Come & see how 1st industrial revolution was shaped by Cornish engineering & how renewable energy revolution will be too. The connection is… water! #Lithium Pls retweet

@ElenainZAfrica Amen. My fervent hope is, at the very least, we’ll have an approach developed for #COP27

[🇦🇺 Darryn Quayle 🇬🇧 @DarrynQuayle]

@ElenainZAfrica An excellent report Elena, thanks for sharing. Quick question though, how many events are being held at #COP26 to discuss mining’s critical role in extracting the vast amount of additional minerals needed for manufacturing the technologies to mitigate Climate Change?

The Critical Minerals Association welcomes the UK Government's recognition of the importance of critical minerals in achieving net-zero in the newly published Net Zero Strategy 2021.

@MennaRawlings Harry looks so young and it must feel so sad to look at his picture at an age he never had the chance of reaching himself. I’m sure Harry would be so very proud of you and your family’s remarkable achievements. I hope somehow that you feel peace in your grief as you remember him

[Dr Cameron Perks @DrCamPerksBMI]

Localisation of critical mineral supply is vital for sustainability, transparency and security. The EU is aiming for 80% local #lithium production by 2025, but @benchmarkmin forecasts show an inverse scenario. More projects are needed to secure supply chains in both EU and USA.

@MennaRawlings @PatriciaMunn604 Such extraordinary courage shown by those who remained, but especially by Chrystie and his incredible wife. Thanks for sharing this Menna.

Hugely important statement from @CommonsEAC today on the UK, the world’s energy transition and a global race for minerals that will have epic proportions. Especially for those that miss it.

[Environmental Audit Committee @CommonsEAC]

'The UK is currently in a global race to secure battery manufacturing capacity' - our Chair @Dunne4Ludlow wrote to @BEIS on the UK supply chain for #battery #ElectricVehicles, urging an increase in government backing.

@CSaundersUK @UKinCanada Well done Caroline! How quickly had time passed. Looking forward to catching up soon.
