…to consider whether mining basalt should be materially cheaper than mining other bulk commodities (at c$40/ton). The data-file contains our ‘top three charts’, our workings and our underlying notes from…
…ascent of solar and face its own challenges in ramping silver mining. Sensitivity analysis is shown for optimizing finger spacing, narrower fingers, increasing the number of busbars and printing taller-thinner…
…chain for semiconductors starts with silica mining (350MTpa globally), then production of silicon metal (8.5MTpa globally) in an arc furnace; then 99.999% pure polysilicon (1MTpa globally) via the Siemens process…
…material are complex. If we take the UK as an example: there is a ‘standard rate’, a ‘lower rate’; a range of industries that qualify for exemptions (ranging from mining-related…
…of global mining, refining and recycling. Mostly mid-caps. Many are trading at 2-15-year lows, due to weak market expectations for PGMs and weak recent PGM pricing, while those that have…
