ResourceClips is an independent publication about mining, exploration and critical minerals around the world.
What we cover
We explain remarkable mines, the minerals extracted from them, the regions shaped by them and the economics connecting the material world. Our coverage is organised in four sections: Major Mines, Extreme Mines, Mining & Economics and New Mining.
Our approach
Every article is written for curious readers rather than specialists alone. Each one opens with a short answer, separates established facts from estimates, links important claims to reliable sources and is updated when stronger evidence emerges. Our standards are set out in the editorial policy.
Who writes ResourceClips
ResourceClips is written by Jack Hartley.
I have always been interested in mining. I began my career in the energy and mining industry, and over the years I have always kept some relationship with it. Mining looks like a forgotten, boring, old-fashioned corner of the world economy, but yet it moves far more than its share of GDP would suggest, and it can still start trade wars and real ones. Most of what is written about it is either technical, made for engineers, or financial, made for highly specialised investors. I write ResourceClips for everyone else: plain explanations of where things come from and why they matter, with the sources in view.
The earlier ResourceClips
ResourceClips was first published as a mining news site in the 2010s. The current publication is an independent rebuild with new coverage. Where older articles were widely cited, their addresses now lead to the closest current article on the same subject.
