The transition to clean energy will require a massive increase in the demand for critical metals, such as lithium, cobalt, and copper. These metals are essential for low-carbon technologies, such as electric vehicles, solar panels, and wind turbines. However, the supply of these metals is limited by environmental, social, and geopolitical factors, which could pose dilemmas for investors and policymakers.

Did you know that if we extracted the Te from one Carlin type gold deposit as a byproduct, it would cover the entire US need and then some?!
The tellurium (and gold) in these deposits is all contained in our wonderful ore mineral of the year, PYRITE!!

#IMA_OreMineralogy is pleased to announce that pyrite has been selected as the Ore Mineral of the year!!! I honor of pyrite we will be hosting a number of outreach events throughout the year, so stay tuned.
