With more than 35 years of experience working in sectors focused on extracting valuable materials from the ground, I have always been on the lookout for the next big thing. I like to think we are after the “future metals,” the ones that are going to power our global economy and help make our world a cleaner and greener place. Several years ago, I came into contact with elements that have the potential to redefine the geopolitical landscape: rare earth elements.
President-elect Donald Trump has his eye (again) on buying Greenland, which also happens to possess one of the world’s largest known rare earth deposits.
