Managing dispute risk in critical minerals projects

The Global Mining Review published an article titled “Sovereignty in the supply chain: The new critical minerals disputes frontier and approaches in Canada and the UK,” co-authored by industry professionals, including partners Chris Hunter and Braden Jebson.

As Canada and the UK strengthen their critical minerals strategies, the article examines the factors creating new dispute risks for mining projects in both countries.

An excerpt of the piece is below.

The UK and Canada are both redesigning critical minerals strategies in response to concentrated supply chains, net-zero delivery pressures, and national security concerns, but from different starting points. The UK is focused on import resilience, while Canada looks to establish itself as a critical minerals mining and processing superpower.

This sovereignty agenda is not merely a policy story. Faster project timelines, increased public funding, and heightened security scrutiny are creating new opportunities for disputes.
