South America 'vital' to critical minerals supply chain
A report from Verisk Maplecroft suggests South America is key to the West’s critical minerals supply chain.
As the global scrabble for critical minerals continues, it is essential to identify which markets offer the greatest policy certainty and political stability. New analysis suggests South America could hold the key.
Verisk Maplecroft assessed 10 emerging markets with major reserves of cobalt, copper, graphite, lithium, nickel and rare-earth elements. Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Peru sit at the centre of the opportunity to rebalance tech-critical mineral supply chains.
Other emerging markets assessed include DR Congo, India, Indonesia, Madagascar, the Philippines and Tanzania.
