This paper examines transformation of the mining industry in the Global South due to the rising demand for electric vehicles (EVs), which is a part of disruptive green technologies. South Africa & Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) are two important suppliers of critical minerals like cobalt, nickel, lithium, copper. This research tries to explore economic dynamics of mineral extraction and green transport. Using quantitative regression analysis, this paper tries to find the relationship between demand for EVs and its economic impact on mining industry's overall sales. The analysis has shown impact of critical minerals & mining sale and how disruptive technology like Evs are affecting mineral-rich countries sustainable mining. This paper is trying to shows some light on economic importance of critical minerals in transition of mining industry due to green vehicles or Evs. The association between the emerging green technology and the mining sector. The study focuses on nations in the Global South that have substantial control over the supply chain of essential minerals used in electric car batteries. The main objective of this study is to conduct an academic investigation of the many implications of green transport on the mining sector in the Global South.

With the complexity of the international crude oil market deepening, it is of profound significance for information recipients and actors to clarify the operation mechanism of the multi-factor-driven international crude oil market, grasp its crucial drivers, and establish a reasonable and effective analysis and early warning system. This paper reviewed the results of existing studies and proposed a collection of daily frequency proxies from five perspectives based on the principles of plurality, completeness and rationality. What's more, a three-dimensional assessment strategy was also developed based on causality, predictability, and necessity, which complemented and extended existing methodologies and findings on crude oil market drivers and theoretically quantified the economic and statistical properties of various proxies. After that, the most critical agents were extracted by relying on the logic of multi-criteria decision-making, which solved the problem of scattered attention in the analysis of the crude oil market. Finally, based on machine learning and artificial intelligence, a hybrid forecasting model that blended key driving agents with both error accuracy, as well as directional accuracy, was constructed. Taking Brent crude oil, the benchmark for more than two-thirds of the world's crude oil, as an example, the findings verified the importance and necessity of correctly grasping the key drivers and confirmed that this study can provide a more scientifically sound research methodology and theoretical basis for crude oil market analysis and early warning based on limited attention.

Formalisation of the mineral market has been a major concern for researchers and policymakers in mineral-rich developing countries, aimed at maximising the micro- and macroeconomic contributions of artisanal and small-scale gold mining. This study examines determinants of choice decisions for formalised mineral market outlets for artisanal and small-scale gold miners in Geita, Tanzania. The study involved 384 miners sampled by multistage technique. Data were collected by using a structured questionnaire. Four mineral market choices; informal buyers, licensed brokers, mineral dealers, and smelters/refineries were considered in this study. The correlation analysis was used to check the interdependence among different pairs of market options. A multivariate probit model (MVP) was used to examine determinants for market outlet choice decisions. The correlation results show complementarity and substitutability among pairs of mineral market outlets. The most preferred market outlets mix was informal buyers and licensed brokers. The MVP model results show that age, gender, household size, experience, smartphone, cooperative membership, bank credit access, and mineral business training are significant determinants for mineral market outlet choice decisions. Policy initiatives supporting cooperatives, credit access, modern technology, training, and affordable communication devices are essential for adopting formal mineral markets, improving livelihoods, and increasing government mineral tax revenues.

Decarbonization and the ban on public aid for mining companies have intensified the threat of liquidation for the Polish hard coal mining industry. Nevertheless, liquidation of hard coal mining has resulted in a significant decrease in Poland's energy security. Therefore, resolving the dilemma of survival or liquidation may depend mainly on economic conditions related to productivity and efficiency. Considering the aforementioned circumstances, this study aims to assess productivity and its determinants in the Polish hard coal mining industry from 2018 to 2023, that is, after the liquidation of permanently unprofitable mines following the recommendations of the European Union and its decarbonization policy. The study conducts an assessment of labor productivity and efficiency, as well as trend and dynamics analyses to identify the changes in employment, production, and remuneration. The results indicate lack of efficiency and productivity effects of the restructuring (average annual rate of change in the work productivity is −2.81%). Employment declines extremely slowly, and the reduction is inconsistent, while remuneration increases rapidly (over 10% annually and constitutes 38–89% of the price of 1 ton of coal) at an above-inflation rate. These observations imply an accelerated path toward the liquidation of hard coal mining in Poland. Changing such a pessimistic scenario would require a radical improvement in productivity and efficiency, which seems unlikely under the prevailing economic and geological conditions. The study contributes to the analysis of the mining industry by presenting the microeconomic (neither holistic nor econometric) approach. Furthermore, it identifies the determinants of mining productivity in emerging and developing economies. Additionally, this study draws attention to the threats to the industry resulting from ineffective restructuring activities and the separation of mining companies' operating principles from economic conditions. These are important implications for the less frequently discussed issue of mining enterprise productivity.

Brazil possesses notable deposits of lithium-bearing pegmatites and it is considered one of the top global producers of this valuable mineral. Despite the wealth of information available on lithium mining in Brazil, the data is often fragmented and difficult to access. This study aims to provide a comprehensive and critical analysis of the lithium mining situation in Brazil. In order to accomplish this, it is provided an overview of the past events related to pegmatite mining in the country, with focus on the measures implemented to enhance the lithium supply chain of the nation. In addition, it is analyzed the progression of investments in mineral exploration and the lithium resources and reserves of the nation. Furthermore, the study examines the current and projected conditions of lithium concentrate production in the country, encompassing prominent mining corporations and ongoing initiatives. This comprehensive analysis highlights potential of Brazil in lithium mining and its strategic importance in the global energy transition. It enables a deeper understanding of the dynamics of this sector, identifies opportunities and challenges, and establishes a foundation for discussions on public policies and corporate strategies.

Australia, with the third-largest coal reserves globally, is the fifth-largest producer and third-largest exporter of black coal, generating about half of its electricity from coal. Concerns about the loss of export earnings and jobs, energy security, and economic decline in coal-dependent regions are a critical challenge to Australia's coal phase-out plans. Employing Q-methodology and semi-structured interviews, this paper examines how diverse stakeholders in Queensland, Australia, envision managing the coal phase-out and promoting economic diversification. The analysis reveals three distinct perspectives: ‘Maximise coal utilisation’, ‘Prioritise coal phase-out’, and ‘Diversify economy as coal phases out’. These perspectives underscore the importance of multi-stakeholder narratives to shaping systemic changes through transformative vision. The analysis takes a multi-stakeholder perspective framework as a narrative approach to ground-test the ‘just transition’ concept. In doing so, the paper demonstrates that justice, in terms of the economic diversification component of coal transition, entails considering implications on multiple economic sectors of coal regions as well as the interplay of actors, policies, and processes across multiple levels of public and private sectors.

This study examines the impact of economic policy uncertainty (EPU) and geopolitical risk (GPR) on natural resource rent (NR) in ASEAN-5 countries: Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand. Utilizing the Fourier augmented autoregressive distributed lag model (FAARDL), we analyze the long-run and short-run impacts of EPU and GPR on NR while controlling for economic growth. Our findings reveal a significant negative impact of GPR on NR across all countries, with varying degrees. EPU shows heterogeneous effects, negatively impacting NR in Indonesia and Thailand, positively affecting the Philippines, but has no significant long-run impact in Malaysia and Singapore. For countries endowed with a diverse set of resources, including both fossil fuels and energy transition minerals, as well as renewable resources such as timber, these findings highlight the need to develop robust resource management strategies. Such strategies are essential for navigating geopolitical risks and economic uncertainties.

As global sustainable policies continue to evolve, understanding the nuanced association between energy transition and natural resource policies has led to policy debate between industrial stakeholders and policymakers. Within this view, we employ mineral resource costs, energy transition, green technological innovation, and resource extraction demand within the empirical model for BRICS economies. We use extensive econometric analysis to document that mineral resource costs negatively affect demand for natural resources, whereas energy transition, environmental innovation, manufacturing value addition, and trade increase natural resource demand. Our empirical investigation offers valuable insights to propose novel policy solutions stemming from natural resource demand and improving environmental sustainability.

Our empirical investigation offers valuable insights to propose novel policy solutions stemming from natural resource demand and improving environmental sustainability.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20970,"journal":{"name":"Resources Policy","volume":"100 ","pages":"Article 105452"},"PeriodicalIF":10.2,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143141134","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
