Q . WHAT CHALLENGES DO YOU FACE IN BRIDGING THE CRITICAL MINERALS AND METALS SUPPLY CHAIN GAP ?
» Often , the best results aren ’ t easy to achieve . They require a great deal of effort . Getting here has taken us tens of thousands of calls and research , so putting in the effort is the challenge . There is a massive shock affecting global commercial markets . Yet , everything is moving faster , and everyone expects a welldesigned supply chain . However , you must put in the effort to create better-designed supply chains . Our challenge is simply designing what has yet to be developed , mapping what hasn ’ t been mapped , and pioneering what hasn ’ t been done . We have contacted many suppliers , processors , and secondary processors , so it ’ s a puzzle we are putting together .
Q . IN YOUR OPINION , WHAT TECHNOLOGIES ARE ESSENTIAL FOR THE FUTURE OF MINING ?

Q . WHAT CAN WE EXPECT TO SEE FROM TM2 ?
» You can expect to see new sustainable global supply chains built to deliver ethical products from an honest relationship with communities into a world where everyone benefits from its value . We are designing and implementing supply chains for most battery metals , and we will expand our exchange to offer a democratic and transparent price for these metals . That ’ s where our uniqueness lies ; the ability to connect upstream , processors , and end users .
Q . WHAT IS THE BEST PIECE OF ADVICE YOU WOULD LIKE TO SHARE ?
» Throughout my life , my father has given me plenty of advice ; he always believed that when you do the right things , good things will happen to you . What stuck with me most is what he refers to as the 3Ds – drive , determination , and desire . As I ’ ve noted , nothing worthwhile takes place quickly . So , I ’ ll say hard work always pays off , so be determined , have the desire to achieve , and have dedication and the drive to succeed . miningdigital . com 17
