Jess Edmondson, Chair of the new EMD Critical Minerals Committee, announcement the formulation of the new committee by defining a critical energy mineral as a naturally occurring and extractable-from-rock commodity that is critical to current and emerging energy technology, and at the same time, limited in supply by current or forecast requirement. The purpose of the new Critical Minerals Committee (CMC) is to facilitate the engagement of AAPG members with the current and emerging technologies for exploration, resource modeling, economics and extraction of non-petroleum critical energy minerals.
Within the framework of AAPG Energy Minerals Division (EMD), the CMC is the leader of geoscience for natural resources of non-petroleum critical energy mineral commodities. As such, the CMC is not concerned with non-critical energy minerals. The CMC committee, under direction of the committee chair, is to actively pursue and engage affiliated organizations to AAPG and yet-to-be affiliated organizations and industry participants for the purpose of education, collaboration and technology transfer for the benefit of AAPG members.
