The REPORT:

¦ First, the United States and Canada must understand how to assess shared risks in the new energy security paradigm brought about by the transition, which differs greatly from energy security considerations in a hydrocarbon-based system.
¦ Second, the two countries must discover the right public-private partnership models to bolster the incipient supply chains that have come to underlie the energy transition, devising models in which the sector can achieve both marketability and resiliency.
¦ Third, Washington and Ottawa must define “sustainable mining” to ensure that the extraction and production of energy transition minerals do not negate their carbon-reducing benefits, and that standards are set
for the industry at a global scale.
¦ Finally, the United States and Canada should leverage their robust innovation ecosystems to close the mineral lifecycle through recycling, and reduce mineral intensity to ease the pressure on developing supply chains.

Your right MB-Canada will indeed play a major role!
Canada & The U.S. are indeed moving forward together as well as with Quad, & EU members; & a few other key countries. The "Global" economy is being decoupled & new ESG driven chains are being built. Niocorp & a few other great prospects from Aussie, Canadian (SHCMF-clean Canadian owned resource! & a few others lol), U.S., are forging forward. Several of these New Mining projects will be needed for a entire HOST OF THE 50 CRITICAL MINERALS LISTED. Both Private & Government Investments must be made to make this possible. IMHO

Niocorps permitted, ESG driven, "shovel ready" Elk Creek mine has the "RIGHT STUFF!"
The BENS US Critical Minerals List Criticality Ranking:
#1)RARE EARTHS #2)SCANDIUM #3)NIOBIUM & Titanium is ranked #27 but with recent events may have Bumped-UP a few notches!
