Government Support Growing for Critical Metals in Mining

Steven Enders notes an increasing government interest and support for critical metals, particularly in the US, Canada, Australia, and Europe. This public sector funding into private ventures is seen as a significant encouragement for the mining industry.

There's certainly in the United States, in Canada, and Australia, and even in Europe, there's a lot more interest in government support, particularly around what we call critical metals or critical minerals, which frankly is almost all of them.
Steven Enders
Um, and so we're seeing money flow from the the public sector into the private, and so that's a big encouragement for me.
