The strategic mistake made in allowing Russia to have global dominance in oil and gas cannot be repeated as the world looks to massively ramp up production of critical minerals, Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson asserted this week.

Tesla is turning to Mozambique for a key component in its electric car batteries in what analysts believe is a first-of-its-kind deal designed to reduce its dependence on China for graphite.

The House of Commons Natural Resources committee has embarked on a study of “critical minerals” in Canada — a term referring to the raw materials like lithium, nickel, cobalt, graphite, aluminum and copper that go into making lithium-ion batteries, the standard workhorse of the electric vehicle and energy-storage world.

“I have this incredible feeling when I see a material that nobody else has in his or her hands.”

The Trudeau government is digging for intelligence on the role Canada's mining sector could play in providing the United States and other key trading partners with crucial minerals and metals — from cobalt to tellurium — considered building blocks of the new economy.

Nouveau Monde says a study confirms the financial viability of its proposal to build North America’s largest mine to produce flake graphite, a key material used in lithium−ion batteries.

In a city of pinstripes and partisan power brokers, Mike Allison sticks out like a sore thumb. He's in the wrong place — and he knows it.
