Just watched a very interesting interview regarding tungsten.
Apparently previously the US had been more difficult than other duristrictions regarding exploring. The mining exploration industry had lagged behind countries like Australia and Canada.
The current administration has elevated mineral projects to priority 1. He reckons any paperwork for approvals etc is given top priority, no delays (in his experience)
US are leading the charge in getting resources into production, aim for 2 years, taking all obstacles out of the way, other countries are not being so aggressive.
By 2030 - there could be a 50 000,00 tonne defecit of tungsten
Tungsten is listed as Europe's no 1. Critical mineral
The interviewer asked, what should every investor know about tungsten?
A) If you think that globally, military spending is going to increase, you should be investing in tungsten to go hand in hand with that. App. 25% of tungsten is used in mining and construction, 11% is used for defence at the moment.
