Tom welcomes Sam Riggall, CEO of Sunrise Energy Metals, to the show. Sam discusses his open letter to the automotive industry regarding metal supply concerns. The auto industry has not been overly concerned with the availability of metals. Lithium, cobalt, and copper are all essential metals that are necessary for battery-based systems.Lithium gets a lot of attention, but most batteries today need considerable nickel and lessening quantities of lithium. Cobalt is also vital in stabilizing battery chemistries. Lithium is relatively easy to bring into production. The biggest bottlenecks will be with nickel and some concerns around cobalt.He explains the differences between class one and class two nickel and the extraction processes involved. Class one nickel is generally required for battery manufacturing, with the latter used for stainless steel.Today, one of the challenges is getting capital investment into the mining business for these new mines. So far, the space doesn't attract much interest from investors.Sunrise is building a very integrated project that is engaged with the automotive industry. They are developing methods to recycle old batteries and recover resources for the industry. However, recycling over the coming years will only make up 10-12% of the needed metal demand.He explains the importance of scandium and its use in enhancing aluminum alloys. They have a project at Sunrise in Australia and are helping develop industrial applications with their industry partners.The time has come for these technologies as we are on the verge of a technological revolution, and he feels they are well prepared for this future.Time Stamp References:0:00 - Introduction0:33 - Industrial Gaps4:02 - Nickel &amp; Cobalt8:19 - Nickel Grades13:32 - Project Capital17:32 - Nickels Prospects19:33 - Strategic Importance?23:00 - Sunrise Project26:58 - Recycling Batteries30:06 - Battery Lifecycles31:52 - Scandium &amp; Its Uses36:34 - Clean TeQ's Innovations39:55 - Concluding ThoughtsTalking Points From This EpisodeBattery metals and supply concerns around nickel and cobalt.Slow uptake in interest and capital investment in these sectors.Strategic concerns and China's advantage in processing.Recycling of existing lithium batteries and the uses for scandium.Guest Links:Website: https://www.sunriseem.comTwitter: https://twitter.com/cleanteqSam Riggall is Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Sunrise Energy Metals, formerly Clean TeQ.

Sam Riggall: Industry-Wide Crisis Coming for Nickel and Cobalt

In Episode 48, “Innovation Is Just Hard Work”, Blenheim Partners‘ Gregory Robinson speaks to Sam Riggall, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Clean TeQ Holdings Ltd, an Australian and Canadian listed technology company focused on the development of resources to service new energy and materials markets. He previously held senior global roles with Rio Tinto Group and Ivanhoe Mines Ltd, where he led a successful negotiation with the Mongolian Parliament of a 50-year investment agreement for the Oyu Tolgoi copper and gold mine.In a very thought-provoking episode, Sam challenges us to consider where we are as a society, highlighting that the world is at a tipping point, especially with the technological advances that await us. As the leader of a technology company that could help revolutionise renewable energy and the automotive and aerospace industries, Sam also recognises the organisation’s potential in providing safe drinking water and basic sanitation to almost a quarter of the world’s population.Sam takes us on a journey that covers the chemistry in mining, social issues in the Congo, the chessboard on which geopolitical power brokers manoeuvre in, the hope of the entrepreneur and the realisation that Elvis lives on in Rural Australia. Finally, he sheds light on the meaning behind how the rule book is being rewritten and those who succeed will be ones who adapt fastest.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
