View attachment 6295016 At 9:15 am The honourable Mr Kim Beasley
below is a snippet of a recent interview with Mr Beasley who at present holds an advisory role to the US.
It is one of life’s ironies that the critical minerals vital to the technologies essential for dealing with climate change are the same that are vital for the effectiveness of weapons systems. Some 3400 US weapons systems use rare earth products vital for permanent magnets, which determine accuracy and effectiveness. They are vital too for batteries. Other critical minerals are important for a range of strengthening metals in industrial and weapons systems. Lithium’s properties are well understood for its value in batteries production. That accounts for around 74 percent of its use. The other 26 percent is useful for strengthening materials in tanks, missiles and a number of other weapons systems.
Globally, a large number of nations identify the presence of critical minerals. Probably many of the claims are valid. Rare earths, for example, are not rare. Most will go nowhere but, if viable, they can count on Chinese miners eager to participate. In the end, virtually all of it goes to Chinese processing. Through massive stockpiles, China can manipulate pricing, if other countries choose to try to leave China out of the process.
