CRITICAL METALS SUPPLY FOR ADVANCED COMPUTING INFRASTRUCTURE: Why Artificial Intelligence Growth Depends on Solving the Resource Shortage
Executive Summary The global explosion in artificial intelligence and advanced computing infrastructure is creating an unprecedented demand crisis for critical metals. Rare earth elements, cobalt, copper, and lithium—essential to every GPU, data centre, and high-performance processor—face a fundamental supply deficit. Whilst virgin mining cannot scale fast enough to meet demand, a proven solution exists: UHTP™…

Comprehensive Report on Amorphous Gold
Origins and Formation Amorphous gold is a distinctive form of gold mineralisation characterised by the presence of nanoscale gold particles that lack a well-defined crystalline structure. These particles exist in a disordered, non-crystalline, or colloidal state, often associated with amorphous silica gels or carbon-rich phases. Amorphous gold primarily forms in orogenic (lode) gold deposits and…

Refractory Gold Ores: The Untapped Potential in Today’s Mining Landscape! An Article by McKinsey & Company
As the gold mining industry faces a reserves crisis, refractory gold ores are emerging as a key source of growth. Representing 24% of current gold reserves, these ores pose unique challenges but also offer significantly higher grades—up to 86% more than non-refractory types. In this article from McKinsey, we explore the complexities of processing refractory…
