Rare Earth Minerals and Renewable Energy Technologies
The world has made a collective promise to power itself differently — to move from burning fossil fuels toward wind, solar, electrified transport and cleaner grids. It is one of the defining commitments of our age. Yet beneath the inspiring language of the energy transition lies a hard physical reality that is too often glossed…

The Future of Light Rare Earth Elements (LREEs)
When people talk about rare earths, they usually talk about them as a single block — one mysterious group of metals lumped together under one strategic banner. The reality is more interesting and, for anyone trading or investing in this space, far more important. The rare earths split into two families that behave very differently…

Rare Earth Elements and the Electric Vehicle Revolution
The electric vehicle is often described as a triumph of software, batteries and bold design — and it is all of those things. But spin the story back to its raw materials and you arrive at a quieter, less celebrated truth: the modern EV is, at its core, a machine built around a small group…

Why Global Industries Need Rare Earth Minerals
Most people will never hold a rare earth mineral in their hands, yet they touch the results of these elements dozens of times a day. The phone that wakes you, the car that moves you, the wind turbine spinning on a distant ridge, the MRI machine in a hospital, the guided systems that defend a…

Why Ilmenite is Important in Aerospace Manufacturing
Hold a handful of ilmenite and it tells you nothing about the sky. It is dark, heavy, unglamorous — a black sand that smudges your palm and looks, frankly, like dirt. I have run countless tonnes of it through my fingers over twenty-five years on the Jos Plateau. And yet every time I do, I…

Industrial Uses of Titanium Dioxide
There is a moment I never tire of. I am standing on the Jos Plateau with a handful of dark, heavy ilmenite sand running through my fingers — grains so black they look almost like gunpowder — and I think about where they are going. Because that same black sand, after a long industrial journey,…

Why Investors are Targeting African Lithium Deposits
The phone calls have changed. For most of my twenty-five years on the Jos Plateau, the people who rang me wanted tin, columbite or tantalite. These days, more and more of the voices on the line — some from Lagos, many from Shanghai, a growing number from London and Toronto — ask about one thing:…

Battery Minerals and the Clean Energy Transition
A few years ago, the young men who used to bring me cassiterite and columbite from the pegmatites around the Plateau started showing up with a different rock. Pale, glassy, sometimes faintly pinkish or lilac — spodumene and lepidolite. They did not always know what they had. I did. The same lithium-cesium-tantalum pegmatites that have…

Mineral Recovery Techniques in Heavy Mineral Sands
The first time I really understood heavy mineral sands, I was crouched beside a stream on the Jos Plateau watching an old tin miner swirl a calabash of black sand. He wasn’t a metallurgist. He had never read a flowsheet in his life. But as he tilted and washed, the heavier grains — the cassiterite,…
