  • "We're Already in Deficit”: The Critical Minerals Crisis No One's Talking About - Amanda van Dyke

    "We're Already in Deficit”: The Critical Minerals Crisis No One's Talking About - Amanda van Dyke
    Mar 22 2026
    Host Brian Leni interviews Amanda van Dyke, founder and managing director of the Critical Minerals Hub and author of The Mineral Imperative, about rising mineral demand, supply-chain complexity, and geopolitical risk. Van Dyke says global metals and minerals output has doubled over 25 years and must at least double again to maintain today’s economic level, while mining faces lower grades and a discovery drought. She warns shortages can trigger volatile outcomes, including trade and shooting wars, noting China invested about $1 trillion over 25 years to control roughly 60% of the global metals/minerals supply chain and 90% of some small critical metals. They discuss Strait of Hormuz disruption risk, U.S. defense stockpiles, government-backed price floors like the MP Materials rare earth deal, G7 coordination, and why EU anti-mining policies and permitting risk make it a poor investment jurisdiction after losing 40% of mining capacity. 00:00 Intro 00:57 Meet Amanda Van Dyke 02:25 Why We Must Mine More 03:48 Scarcity and Trade Wars 05:54 Middle East Chokepoint Risks 09:30 Defense Stockpiles Reality 13:06 US Price Floors Explained 21:06 G7 Minerals Club Plans 22:48 EU Anti Mining Problem 27:20 Where Value Is Now 31:30 Biggest Bear Case Recession 33:45 AI And Net Zero Reality Check 37:05 The Mineral Imperative Book https://criticalmineralshub.org/ Sign up for our free newsletter and receive interview transcripts, stock profiles and investment ideas: http://eepurl.com/cHxJ39 This was not a sponsored interview.

  • How Investors Can Win the Critical Minerals Global War with Expert Tomasz Nadrowski

    How Investors Can Win the Critical Minerals Global War with Expert Tomasz Nadrowski
    Mar 19 2026
    Tomasz Nadrowski is the author of “Mineral War: China’s Quest for Weapons of Mineral Destruction.” In this episode, host Bill Powers interviews Tomasz to understand the nature of this mineral war so that investors can discern the best profit opportunities. Nadrowski shares that China has quasi-monopolized and weaponized critical mineral supply chains, forcing the West to rebuild upstream-to-downstream value chains where geopolitics can matter as much as geology. He describes his mining and hedge fund background, his fund’s focus on rare earths, battery materials, and specialty metals, and the need to assess offtake, processing capacity, and government policy. Tomasz argues effective policy requires three levers: upstream reference prices, protection via tariffs, and downstream incentives to adopt Western/allied materials instead of cheap Chinese supply; he criticizes cost-plus pricing while viewing the MP Materials deal as a market signal lowering capital costs. The discussion covers tungsten (China’s ~82% control), top monopolies (heavy rare earths, gallium, flake graphite), gallium and germanium sourcing, China’s Africa deal structure and debt effects, China’s control of nickel via Indonesia, and trading/exit discipline amid high volatility. 00:00 Intro 00:20 Meet the Guest 00:52 Mining to Hedge Funds 02:32 Mineral War Thesis 03:45 How the Fund Invests 06:14 Government Grants Angle 08:09 Price Floors Debate 10:26 Tariffs and Incentives 12:21 Tungsten Spotlight 14:29 Why China Restricts Exports 17:18 China in Africa Playbook 19:51 Africa Debt Reckoning 21:49 What to Call This System 22:51 China Debt Dilemma 23:51 Critical Minerals Ranking 24:24 Why Gallium Matters 26:49 Germanium Supply and Stockpiles 28:36 US Policy Whiplash 30:23 Nickel Indonesia China Proxy 32:11 Competing with China Standards 35:05 Investing Exit Strategy Tomasz’s book: https://www.amazon.com/Mineral-War-Chinas-Weapons-Destruction/dp/B0GHDYRLZK Tomasz’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nadrowski Tomasz’s fund: https://www.amvestterraden.com/ Sign up for our free newsletter and receive interview transcripts, stock profiles and investment ideas: http://eepurl.com/cHxJ39 This was not a sponsored interview.
