Listen along: Thinking outside of the resource box - why it's time to get creative in sourcing critical minerals

Carly Leonida reads her June 2024 interview with Stantec's Greg Gillian and Kevin Kammerzell on how innovative technologies and processes could help to unlock alternative sources of critical metals

In this episode, learn about:

  • Why everyone is talking about direct lithium extraction (DLE) technologies today

  • How DLE works, and how these technologies compare economically, practically and ecologically to more traditional lithium extraction methods, such as evaporation ponds or hard rock mining

  • Where these technologies are being applied today

  • What potential DLE and other innovative technologies hold in helping to unlock alternative sources of critical minerals and metals e.g., mine wastes, geothermal brines and in-situ mining operations.
