In this episode, we chat with Scott Winter, MD of the Critical Minerals Group, who are focused on the critical minerals required for energy storage and renewable energy. Their strategy involves acquiring, developing and producing critical mineral deposits essential for a sustainable future. Their aim is to reduce dilution and drive early-stage revenues through strategic partnerships and corporate transactions to add value to shareholders while operating to the highest ESG standards.
Scott is an experienced mining engineer with almost 30 years working across all aspects of mining exploration, development, engineering, financing and operations working for the likes of BHP, Thiess and Perenti Group. He gives us an overview of Critical Minerals Group and their strategy moving forward, a project update, an update on the vanadium and electrolyte market and how the government is supporting their initiative.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
BEST MOMENTS
"The majority of the manufacture of vanadium electrolyte occurs in China. There are some massive batteries that are under construction or have been constructed in China."
"Our primary focus is vanadium for the battery market, and we'll take some value out of high-purity alumina and molybdenum as we go through."
"It's about looking at the way we can extract those and create value out of them with very little additional capital, if any at all."
"The next 12 months is very clearly mapped out and is a big step ahead of us. We'll be looking for partners to assist with the development of the facility."
