Payne Introduces a Critical Mineral Markets Primer

Payne Institute Affiliated Partner Rebecca Jackson and Energy Finance Lab Program Director Brad Handler write about how as the urgency for the US and OECD to develop critical minerals supply chains grows, we believe that a fundamental underpinning for that effort will be understanding and expanding market mechanisms that convene buyers and sellers and support mineral price discovery. To that end, we introduce a Critical Minerals Markets Primer detailing the nature of critical minerals transactions and how such transactions may evolve given technology and market growth.   June 17, 2025.
