Tom welcomes Anthony Milewski back to the program to discuss the carbon credit markets and the growing implications for mining companies. Carbon is a big market with upwards of $250 billion traded annually, and he discusses the two types of markets. The voluntary market is a lot easier to gain exposure than the regulated markets. The idea is that over time, companies will be incentivized financially to find cleaner operating methods.

He feels that mining companies need to take more notice of how this could change their industry. Anthony feels that these environmental requirements will only increase with time. He mentions that mines have been able to become carbon neutral by sequestering carbon or planting forests.

Anthony discusses the E.V. and battery metals markets and why the drop in demand should be temporary. Eventually, copper will get a bid either from a recovery or additional infrastructure spending.

Lastly, he argues that the mining industry needs to be more inclusive.
