EU to release list of critical mineral projects under industrial strategy
What happened
Stéphane Séjourné is scheduled to unveil a list of critical mineral projects in Brussels that will receive privileged access to funding, accelerated permitting, and assistance finding buyers. This action comes as the EU's Critical Raw Materials Act is reportedly behind schedule, with only one in four granted critical mineral projects currently on track to be ready on time.

Stéphane Séjourné is currently responsible for developing and implementing the European Union's industrial strategy.
