Oopsie.. Somebody’s insecure on their continued access to #silver 😅😅😅

"Indeed, every year, humanity is wasting more than $60 billion worth of so-called critical metals—the ones we need not only for electronics, but also for the hardware of renewable energy, from electric vehicle (EV) batteries to wind turbines." #raremetals #ewaste https://www.motherjones.com/environment/2024/11/demand-critical-metals-e-waste-recycling-clean-energy-climate-vince-beiser-book-power-metal/

Addendum:

I know it's a #charity auction, and I know it's a rare model (however many of these were even made, seems many for a thing was officially unreleased), but laying down £55 for a single #BloodBowl mini is kind of inexcusable 😆 better tell my wife which the valuable one is

Item 74:
Mighty Zug mini.
Yes, it's that one.

Considering the info in the following article, it's curious why #China would negotiate with the #US about anything & why they wouldn't bloc the availability of #samarium to any country who needs/wants it unless they kiss China's a$$. 🤷‍♂️

The Remarkable Properties and Industrial Applications of Osmium: A Precious Transition Metal

Osmium, a striking bluish-white transition metal, holds the distinction of being the densest naturally occurring element on Earth. Discovered in 1803 by Smithson Tennant, this precious metal belongs to the platinum group metals (PGMs) and has atomic number 76.

🌍 AFRICA | 🇨🇳 CHINA
🔴 China 'monopolizes' Africa's rare metals market

🔸 China controls 70% of global rare earth production, dominating Africa via BRI.
🔸 Beijing avoids political interference, offering infrastructure-for-minerals deals.
🔸 US and Western influence in Africa continues to decline.

Scientists find huge trove of #RareMetals needed for clean energy hidden inside toxic coal waste | CNN https://www.cnn.com/2024/12/06/climate/coal-ash-rare-earth-elements/index.html Scientists analyzed #CoalAsh from power plants across the United States and found it could contain up to 11 million tons of rare earth elements — nearly eight times the amount the US has in domestic reserves — worth around $8.4 billion

It offers a huge potential source of domestic #RareEarth elements without the need for new mining,

"First we did it with manganese. Later we did it with nickel and lithium. And then we used a different strain of bacteria and we were able to extract cobalt and nickel.”

University of Edinburgh scientists are using bacteria helping to extract rare metals from old batteries to help create a circular green economy.

🔴 🇳🇴 🇬🇱 🎥 Inside the Race to Mine $92 Billion Worth of Deep Sea Minerals

“Between Norway and Greenland lie some of the most valuable minerals on the planet. From cobalt to rare earths, raw materials are needed to drive multi-billion dollar industries such as EVs. These mineral reserves from the deep sea are of huge geopolitical significance as China and a few other key countries are monopolizing the supply of these materials.”
