In the final episode of our series, we've gather together a panel of experts who all have an interest in critical mineral mining.
Demand for minerals like cobalt, lithium and copper is growing rapidly, as countries turn to green energy solutions. These minerals are used in EV batteries and wind turbines.
So what does the future hold? How do countries approach China's dominance in both mining and processing, and what about the environmental and ethical concerns?
