DISRUPTIVE DISCUSSION - Why gold is and is not a critical mineral

Why gold is and is not a critical mineral

As investors and policy makers focus on stimulating production of critical minerals, won’t gold inevitably suffer?
If gold isn’t a key component of clean energy tech/infrastructure, does it have any role to play in decarbonising African economies?
Given gold's pivotal role in many developing economies, particularly in Africa, how might a shift in policy and investment (prioritising critical minerals) impact local stakeholders and development and growth opportunities?
Do we need to consider wider concepts of ‘criticality’ – in considering the ‘purpose’ of ‘’value’ the gold mining industry – e.g. in stimulating growth/development opportunities?
