The company suggests that in order to meet desired climate goals set out in the Paris Agreement, the world is going to need 140 new copper mines, 60 new nickel mines and 50 new lithium mines by 2030.

The capital investment needed to achieve this is estimated at an additional $US100 billion ($152.5 billion) per year, but global competition for capital is intense and mining players will need to wisely strategise the best ways of unlocking financial support.

BHP believes if Australia was to boost its production of critical minerals, it could deliver up to $20 billion of annual investment into the country.For Australia to achieve this opportunity, BHP outlined four key pillars.

They are as follows:

Stable and globally competitive policy, regulatory and fiscal settings

Robust, transparent and streamlined permitting

Best-in-class enabling infrastructure

A world-class METS sector and workforce of the future



Comment from me .... three of four main points focus areas of TIVAN IMO...

Permitting - Transparency & free, prior & informed consent top of the tree.

Infrastructure - MASDP - I'm not sure if everyone picked up on it, but Simon Flowers ran the team that worked on this proposal. Go back & watch the TAG team video & listen carefully to Simon.

METS - howdy to our friends at the CSIRO.

The sheer number of those projects means Eng firms are going to be swamped with work - we have Hatch. Top of the tier ones.
