Niobium: ‘There are no substitutes’
“If you put two per cent niobium oxide in a lithium-ion battery, you can charge the battery within six minutes,” he said.
“It has a 200 per cent increase in life and can withstand 10,000 charge cycles.” #WA1 australianmining.com.au/niob…

If you can believe it, #WA1 was green today. Have we seen the bottom…who really knows? But, it has been quite a ride/slide since it closed at $22 on October 9th. For those playing at home, that’s a fall of $6.81 (30.96%) over 20 sessions.

Niobium: the Hidden Strength Behind Modern Industry
Most people have never heard of niobium — but without it, the modern world would fall apart.
A pinch of niobium (as little as 0.1%) doubles the strength of steel. It’s what makes skyscrapers soar, pipelines safe, and cars lighter.
90% of the world’s niobium comes from just two mines in Brazil, controlled by China.
The US has zero domestic production. That’s why it’s now ranked in the Top 10 most critical minerals on the 2025 US list — alongside lithium and rare earths.
And it’s not just for steel: niobium capacitors power your phone, laptop, and EV — safer, smaller, longer-lasting than their tantalum cousins.
Niobium is the strength behind steel, the charge behind capacitors, and the quiet power behind civilisation.
Its scarcity isn’t geological — it’s geopolitical.

#Niobium & #Tungsten both that high? Huh, who would've thought! Luckily my portfolio already got both covered 🤭

USGS just released this infographic that tries to show how they determine criticality, basically the probability of negative impact on the economy from shortages.
