Metal Movers: Are Central Asian states ready to meet global demand for critical minerals?

Central Asia's vast yet mostly untapped mineral wealth is garnering global attention at a moment of rising competition for critical minerals. The European Union and the United States are increasingly focusing on the raw materials of a region that has often been overlooked. Ellie Saklatvala, Senior Editor of Argus Non-Ferrous Markets, recently discussed the current state of mineral production in Central Asia with Cristina Belda, Argus' Associate Editor, and reporter Maeve Flaherty. They examined what the region needs to realise its full potential in the coming years and explored how these developments could alter the landscape of critical minerals. Covered this episode: • The mineral resources of Central Asian countries • Tajikistan's role as a supplier of antimony • Kazakhstan and the shifting trade flows of chrome metal • Challenges related to infrastructure, logistics, and geological data • The geopolitical dynamics of the region

Speakers: • Ellie Saklatvala, Editorial Lead for non-ferrous metals at Argus • Cristina Belda, Associate Editor for metals at Argus • Maeve Flaherty, Reporter for metals at Argus
