This week's episode feature EY Americas Metals & Mining Leader Theo Yameogo in conversation with host Adrian Pocobelli on the recent G7 summit that took place in Kananaskis, Alberta, from June 15-17, 2025. Yameogo notes that though critical minerals were at the top of the agenda, a disconnect remains between the vision of political leaders and the practical realities of the mining industry. He also discusses how the conversation revolved around economic security, and suggests as a possible solution that politicians invite mining company CEOs to the events in order to ground the discussion in what's actually possible, while the mining industry needs to better explain itself to politicians. 

All this and more with host Adrian Pocobelli.

"Preocupaciones sobre el litio, el agua y el clima en los dos desiertos más altos de la Tierra"
de Lan Cuo
Publicado en Eos.org 27 mayo 2025

Traducción de Nelmary Rodriguez Sepulveda
Grabación de audio de Saúl A. Villafañe-Barajas

Preocupaciones sobre el litio, el agua y el clima en los dos desiertos más altos de la Tierra

For the legendary Kitty Mauge, queen of the dwarven realms and the funnest Space Dwarf around!

Lyrics
[Verse]
Pickaxe swinging under the stone
Hear the clang echo deep in the bone
Down in the dark where the riches unfold
We’re dwarves in the mines chasing that gold

[Chorus]
Dig it up dig it out all day long
Strike the vein where the treasures belong
Through the dirt and the rock we’re bold
Dwarves don’t stop till our hands hold gold

[Verse 2]
Boots on the ground steady and strong
Lantern light keeps us moving along
Sweat on the brow but we don’t complain
Every swing of the axe fuels the gain

[Chorus]
Dig it up dig it out all day long
Strike the vein where the treasures belong
Through the dirt and the rock we’re bold
Dwarves don’t stop till our hands hold gold

[Bridge]
The deeper we go the richer the prize
Glittering dreams right before our eyes
Through caverns and tunnels we carve our fate
Gold in our grasp yeah we dominate

[Chorus]
Dig it up dig it out all day long
Strike the vein where the treasures belong
Through the dirt and the rock we’re bold
Dwarves don’t stop till our hands hold gold

Dwarves Dig It

This week's episode of the Business Brief podcast takes a look at auto repair in Missouri ahead of a busy travel weekend.

Then, how regions in the state’s Old Lead Belt are seeing a surge in critical mineral mining.

Mining Missouri's future

In this episode, we delve into the controversial and complex world of deep seabed mining. We feature a panel of experts from the Wonderful World Festival in Norway in 2024 [https://www.wonderfulworld.no/] discussing the environmental, economic, and geopolitical implications of extracting minerals from the ocean floor. Marine Scientists, a documentary filmmaker, mining industry officials debate the need for and consequences from extracting rare earth minerals for renewable energy technologies. Discover the unknowns of the deep sea, the ethical considerations, and the potential impact on future generations. Join us as we explore whether the pursuit of these resources is truly necessary and the role of storytelling in shaping our understanding of the ocean's mysteries.

We start with an introduction by panel moderator, Anders Dunker.

Next are excerpts from a TED Talk by Sandor Mulsow, Marine Geologist from Chile. Also included is the trailer of the documentary film DEEP Rising, which he is featured in.
