Sad to see how violence disrupts legitimate business. When will governments prioritize miner safety?
That’s the million-dollar question. Too often, profit outweighs safety.
This is yet another reason why rare earth mining should be prioritized outside of conflict zones.
Tech industries need a stable supply, and cartel violence complicates everything.

Agreed. Gold tends to rise when geopolitical risks spike.

Good point. It’s a domino effect.
