Critical Minerals Chokepoints: Lithium, Rare Earths & Supply Chain Risks | The KE Report

Hosted by the Cory Fleck of the Korelin Economics Report, Howard Klein and Matt Fernley discuss the recent structural changes in the critical minerals sector, highlighting how the ongoing conflict in the Middle East has restricted the global sulfur supply and directly disrupted downstream nickel and cobalt processing. They also analyze the emerging trends in heavy rare earth element demand, evaluated new visual clay processing techniques, and debated the long-term feasibility of domestic lithium production and government-backed price floors.
