Part 2/8:
Tony Sage, an expert in critical minerals and the speaker in a recent interview, weighed in on the potential of Ukraine's mineral wealth. Despite the country being rich in essential resources such as manganese, graphite, iron, and lithium, Sage asserts that Ukraine does not possess enough critical minerals to offset the substantial financial aid the U.S. has provided. The rare earth minerals, which are vital for various technologies, are present in Ukraine but largely unexplored. This lack of exploration means their true value remains uncertain.
