Show me the money: What will it take for finance to back critical minerals at scale?
The pipeline of critical minerals projects has never been longer. But the gap between a viable project and a financed one remains stubbornly wide. Capital is available, it’s just not flowing fast enough, or to the right places. Early-stage mining projects carry a risk profile that most institutional investors are not set up to absorb. Infrastructure is absent, policy frameworks are inconsistent, and the road from discovery to production stretches beyond a decade. At the same time, rising sustainability expectations are adding cost and complexity that can deter rather than attract capital. This webinar brought together financial institutions and mining companies to explore what it actually takes to move critical minerals investment from intention to action. What we discussed... The structural barriers that keep credible projects stuck at the development stage. How financial institutions are building frameworks to evaluate and de-risk critical minerals investments. The role of blended finance, development banks and public-private mechanisms in mobilising private capital. Sustainability performance as a bankability asset: how responsible sourcing credentials are factoring into investment decisions. What mining companies and project developers need to demonstrate to get deals across the line.
