the Critical Minerals Hub emerged from a shared vision
The Critical Minerals Hub emerged from a shared vision by Amanda van Dyke and Jeff Townsend, to address a critical gap in public understanding of the mining industry and the vital role of critical minerals.
With decades of collective experience as seasoned veterans in the mining sector, Amanda and Jeff recognized the urgent need to demystify the complex world of critical mineral supply chains.
The Critical Minerals Hub was established to bridge this knowledge gap, fostering informed dialogue and empowering stakeholders with transparent, accessible information.
Why Critical
Minerals Matter
Critical minerals—such as lithium, cobalt, nickel, graphite, and rare earth elements—are the backbone of modern technology and the global transition to net-zero emissions.
As the world accelerates toward electrification, renewable energy, and advanced manufacturing, demand for these materials is projected to grow exponentially over the coming decades. From powering electric vehicles and renewable energy storage to enabling cutting-edge electronics, critical minerals are indispensable to technological progress and economic development. However, their supply chains are often opaque, geographically concentrated, and vulnerable to disruptions, posing challenges to industries, governments, and consumers alike.
