Soft launch of the Critical Minerals Consortium

Today marks the soft launch of the Critical Minerals Consortium (CMC). The CMC is an initiative of Monash University to assemble leading experts in critical minerals assessment research and industry advisers, for the purpose of advancing the development and application of critical minerals assessment. Critical minerals assessment is used by sovereign entities as an objective foundation upon which to base policy decisions, and by minerals businesses in the development of strategy. The founders of the CMC are Associate Professor Mohan Yellishetty; Dr Stuart Walsh; Associate Professor Gavin Mudd (RMIT) and Dr David Whittle. Drs Yellishetty, Walsh and Mudd have each made significant contributions to the science and application of critical minerals assessment in the last several years. Dr Whittle has joined to add his industry experience to the consortium, particularly in the field of strategic mine planning.
