After eight years of permitting, U.S. Forest Service issues draft decision for Perpetua's Stibnite Gold project in Idaho. In a move that is being hailed as a win for national security, the economy, and the environment, the U.S. Forest Service says it plans to approve the federal permits needed to develop Stibnite Gold, a mine project in Idaho that will be a significant domestic source of antimony critical to a number of military, high-tech, and consumer goods. "We believe...
Study shows that trolley assist for trucks would halve CO2 intensity of what is expected to be one of the world's cleanest sources of nickel. A recently completed engineering study has found that a trolley assist system for haul trucks would significantly reduce the carbon intensity of nickel produced at Baptiste, a project in central British Columbia being advanced by FPX Nickel Corp. that is already shaping up to be one of the cleanest sources of future nickel on the...
Reports demonstrate how growing demand, international cooperation, and social change are shaping the mining sector for the better. The continuing surge in critical minerals demand, anticipated to easily double by 2040, has significantly impacted the global mining sector while several world powers struggle to slip out from under geopolitical pressures on the battery industry and develop domestic supply chains. Propelled by technological expansion, the rate of demand growth for...
Gamblin Artists Colors introduces oil paints pigmented with waste from acidic water draining from old coal mine. Paints throughout the ages have been uniquely colored by crushed gemstones, rare shellfish, and even powdered Egyptian mummies. With that same pioneering spirit, the Portland, Oregon-based Gamblin Artists Colors began recycling dry pigment dust collected by their Torit air filtration system during the 1990s and mixing it into a paint color they called Torrit Grey....

Impressing the necessity of developing domestic supplies of critical minerals, the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management has issued a notice of intent to fund programs that will advance cost-effective and environmentally responsible production, reuse, and recycling of critical minerals and materials in the United States. As part of the $1.1 trillion Bipartisan Infrastructure bill, this latest funding opportunity is aimed to support bench-...
How much rock must be moved to produce the metals in an Apple iPhone, Tesla Model 3 electric vehicle or any other product that requires mined commodities (i.e., nearly everything)? Apple teamed up with the United States Geological Survey to develop a "rock-to-metal ratio" that makes it easier to answer that question. Metals are essential to every aspect of modern life. Even a bowl of oatmeal requires these fundamental building materials to grow, ship, and process this... Full story
