  • Interview with Damien Giurco on strategies to reduce rare earths’ environmental impact and where you should look toward for industry insight.
    In this Mining IQ interview with Damien Giurco, Research Director for the Institute for Sustainable Futures, University of Technology, Sydney, he talks about the viable strategies to reduce rare earths’ environmental impact, the lessons Australia can learn from China’s experience and the future of the industry. Questions we asked include:
    • Now that China has cut their rare earths export, it’s opened up Australia’s participation in the international market. Are there any lessons there you feel can translate to the Australian market?
    • There are obviously environmental concerns when it comes to rare earths and strategic metals. Are there methods or strategies that can be employed to lessen the environmental impact?
    • Where are you currently looking for industry information on rare earths and strategic metals?
    • What do you think will be next for the rare earth industry?
  • Interview with Anna Littleboy on establishing a successful processing supply chain and reducing environmental impact in rare earths
    In this exclusive interview with Anna Littleboy, Acting Director for Minerals Down Under National Research Flagship from CSIRO, discussion centres around establishing a successful processing supply chain, reducing environmental impact in rare earths and the direction of the rare earths and strategic metals industry. Questions we asked include:
    • Establishing a successful processing supply chain – especially in the metallurgical side of this – is both difficult and costly. Are there any ways to reduce costs and simplify procedures?
    • There are obviously environmental concerns when it comes to rare earths and strategic metals. Are there methods or strategies that can be employed to lessen the environmental impact?
    • The majority of mining and exploration companies are investing in geological and metallurgical consultants. What advice do you have for choosing such consultants?
    • What do you think will be next for the rare earths industry?
