The AI Data Center Boom, and Renewable Energy Revolution, are driving massive new demand and creating a potential 10 million tonne supply deficit by 2028.[1]
Copper is essential for the generation, transmission, and use of electricity. But the demand for copper will outrun supply unless there is major adjustment across the copper supply system.[2]
Billionaire mining magnate Robert Friedland predicts a massive, long-term supply “train wreck”. He argued in 2024 that “copper prices must rise significantly—potentially to $15,000/tonne”.[3]
Copper prices have surged to historic highs, exceeding $14,000 a tonne in late January 2026, driven by a massive intensifying supply constraints and decades of underinvestment in new mining projects.[4]

Tungsten has the highest melting point of any metal and very high density making it indispensable for extreme-systems. This ultra‑hard metal is used in aerospace components, advanced chips artillery shells, armor plating and cutting tools; about 60% of U.S. consumption goes into tungsten carbide for industrial applications.[1]
China dominates global supply and produced over 80% of the world’s tungsten in 2025,[2] while commercial mining ceased in the United States after 2015.[2] In 2026 China introduced massive export restrictions driving up prices and sending Western importers scrambling.[3]
The US government’s ‘Project Vault’ is a $12 billion initiative to stockpile critical minerals including tungsten.[4]

Nickel has outstanding physical and chemical properties, which make it essential in hundreds of thousands of products. Its biggest use is in alloying – particularly with chromium and other metals to produce stainless and heat-resisting steels.[1]
Nickel is one of the elements that plays a critical enabling role in the energy transition. The pace of energy transition is increasing as green growth stimulus packages are introduced, and economies and companies alike commit to net carbon neutrality. The properties of nickel facilitate the deployment of the entire spectrum of clean energy technologies – geothermal, batteries for EVs and energy storage, hydrogen, hydro, wind and concentrating solar power. It is also necessary in nuclear energy technologies as well as carbon capture and storage.[1]
Nickel is officially designated as a critical mineral by the USGS and other nations due to its essential role in stainless steel, EV batteries, and renewable energy infrastructure. Global demand is projected to double by 2040, driven by its necessity in high-energy density batteries, making it a cornerstone for the green energy transition.[2]
