“China is 17% of global GDP, some 35% of global manufacturing, but about 60, 70, 80, sometimes 95% of production, processing, refining of some of these materials — a quasi-monopoly way above its weight in the global economy.”
“It takes years to invest in minerals and see a result. If we're starting now, we'll see results maybe in 10 or 15 or 16 or 17 years, depending on the nature of the deposit and the processing stage.”
