WFE is on the right track mate that is for certain , the European auto and battery makers you have mentioned on previous post will require the tick of approval from these guys ( KumiConsulting ) before WFE even gets a look in.

KumiConsulting ( As Below ) is helping European Commission right the rules !


There are some excellent links and videos on the below KumiConsulting attached site , its is very obvious that the OECD wants Producers and Majors to incorporate (ASM) miners into there business models were possible. This will work in WFE's favour with future negotiations within the European Union !

The engagement of artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) by large scale mining operators is encouraged in the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Mineral Supply Chains. The OECD has also made an explicit call to stakeholders in the mining industry to support the inclusion and formalisation of ASM communities where feasible. Such engagement is recognised by civil society organisations as a powerful means for enabling social and economic progress in resource-dependent communities
