Rocks and Hard Places: The Globalization of Mining (Global Issues)

Product Information

In the face of potential supply shortfalls, alternatives to mining for critical minerals are emerging. Some of those alternatives, such as minerals and metals recycling, could also reduce threats to biodiversity to the extent that they decrease the need for mining. Gauß, Roland, et al. 2021.

Between a rock and a hard place

Scassellati, Erica (April 26, 2022). " Better Call Saul Season 6: Nacho Implicates Alvarez, an Unseen Character". Showbiz Cheat Sheet. Archived from the original on May 2, 2022 . Retrieved May 2, 2022. In the past when commodity prices were surging, as they have been of late (see chart 1), the world’s miners would be piling into projects like Quellaveco. This time the notable thing about it is its uniqueness. Few of the diversified mining behemoths—Anglo American, BHP, Glencore, Rio Tinto and Vale—have big new mines in the works. That is partly because of the industry’s long lead times; Anglo bought Quellaveco in 1992. But other forces, too, lie beneath the subdued investment. They will have consequences for the mineral-intensive energy transition towards a climate-friendlier world. The intro of the episode is a flash-forward: the flower is growing in the place where Nacho died with some fans taking this with a poetic meaning that the desert is mourning Nacho's death, the piece of glass being the one he used to wound Bolsa and take his gun, before killing himself.

Accessed 11 June 2021. If supply does not increase, however, shortages of some metals such as copper may prove unavoidable. Some of the shortfall could perhaps be met by substituting other metals or more recycling of previously used ones. But not all of it. Investors applaud the mining bosses’ newfound restraint. The planet may prefer a return to past exuberance. ■ Filming for the episode took place between April and May 2021. Actor Michael Mando, who plays Nacho, described his character's journey and the allusions in the episode to the ancient legend of Orpheus and Eurydice, practices in the Aztec and Mayan cultures, and the religious motif of weighing a person's soul. A series of misfortunes arose in the process of shooting the final scenes, such as Mando having to be rushed to the hospital after severely cutting his finger and a sandstorm hitting the set. Smith's approach as director was to meet audience expectations and focus on maximizing the tension in the episode's finale. The valet tag number on Howard’s car is 618; which corresponds to June 18, the same day Jimmy/Kim decided early in the episode when their scheme must go down by.

Example UsageIt is true that, as was the case in 1998/99 or 2020/21, a market’s valuation can go from very expensive to very, very expensive. That is a possibility, with AI being the mooted touchpaper, but in our view, and as discussed in the last Road Ahead, the probabilistic risk/reward skew is slanted in one direction, and it ain’t up. And we don’t think you have to have a particularly bearish economic outlook to think this. We don’t. Rivera, Kaleena (April 27, 2022). " Better Call Saul Episode 3: On the Run". Pajiba.
