"The world’s largest hard-rock lithium mine is the Pilbara Minerals’
Pilgangoora Mine situated in Western Australia. Just a few years ago, people
were discussing the scarcity of lithium (you don’t see much around, if you
ain’t looking for it.) Then the major concern was that lithium was mainly being
sourced from the brine lakes of Chile, putting the local environment and
populace at risk.
Fast forward to 2023 when most of the world’s lithium comes from Australia,
which has bountiful reserves of hard rock spodumene which can be mined with
world class ESG standards. Though, we still end up with big holes in the
ground.
“Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) investing refers to a set of
standards for a company’s behaviour used by socially conscious investors to
screen potential investments,”
Investopedia writes. “Environmental criteria
consider how a company safeguards the environment, including corporate policies
addressing climate change, for example. Social criteria examine how it manages
relationships with employees, suppliers, customers, and the communities where
it operates. Governance deals with a company’s leadership, executive pay,
audits, internal controls, and shareholder rights.”"
