Abstract:

The current global tensions between China and the West have the potential for leading to major disruptions in metal supply. This presentation will consider the latest data on supply security based on recent  research conducted on resource efficiency, recycling, remanufacturing and frontier sources of  metals. The presentation will also explore what role technical mineral processing research can play in relieving some of the stresses created by such geopolitics.
