Funding critical resources projects

Private equity appear to be major players in funding of new critical minerals projects

Don’t agree with the entire article, or at least, have a major issue with Robin Birchall (CEO of Giyani Metals)
China currently processes 100% of the world’s graphite, well over 90% of its manganese, and more than 70% of its cobalt, Birchall said in a presentation.

Really - 100% China? So zero from Brazil, India, Canada or US?

The US “dwarfs the rest” with $40 billion available to be deployed into energy transition with loans available for more than 30 projects, including for rare earth elements and other critical minerals
