I appreciated the opportunity to join Louis Marechal and the @OECD team at their critical minerals forum in Istanbul. Valuable opportunity to discuss the Public Private Partnerships needed to build resilient supply chains.

This is a rare, smart and sober analysis of the deeper geopolitical differences at stake - beneath the froth - dividing Western views over the conflict with Iran.
The real transatlantic divide is about more than Trump via @FT

Great to discuss geopolitics & critical minerals with @EleniGiokos on @cnni in the margins of #FutureMineralsForum in Riyadh - covering Iran, Venezuela and critical mineral supply chains. @AppianCapital👇
Former UK Deputy PM @DominicRaab tells me #Trump using “strategic ambiguity because it doesn’t want to be drawn into forever wars” when it comes to #Iran. We also talk about #Venezuela, #Greenland and #criticalminerals. #FutureMineralsForum #Riyadh @CNNConnect

Important initiative. Central Bank purchasing schemes can help elevate responsible artisanal miners out of the shadow economy, and plug them into a viable supply chain, whilst crowding out the bad actors and curtailing illicit flows.👇

I am excited to take up the role of Special Envoy at the World Gold Council @GOLDCOUNCIL , supporting responsible artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM), whilst addressing the violent exploitation of ASGM which finances terrorism, mercenaries and organised crime.

It was a pleasure to join @Better_Finance for their event on fraud and accountability in Brussels. I spoke on behalf of @GOLDCOUNCIL to the proliferating violent exploitation of artisanal gold mining communities - and the mercenaries, terrorists and criminal gangs benefiting.

I enjoyed discussing with Adam Bolton @TimesRadio what the West needs to do to build up alternative supply chains in critical minerals and rare earths @AppianCapital 👇
7 Dec 2025
“We need trillions of dollars extra investment in minerals.”
Britain is “20 years behind China” in the rare earth minerals market and is at risk of being bottlenecked in critical industries like energy and defence, says @DominicRaab.
