Discover the complex journey of minerals in this episode of From the Ground Up, now brought to you by TexChange Unbrokered.
This episode dives into the process that turns minerals into green technology like solar panels and EV batteries, exploring how companies find mineral deposits and prepare to mine them.
We discuss the exploration and discovery phases, the importance of community engagement, and the concept of social license to operate (SLOs). Additionally, we touch on the challenges communities face in negotiating with mining companies, the rise of community development agreements (CDAs), and how policy can impact the mining industry.
