BBC News reported that the British Geological Survey has published a list of 52 elements deemed to be at risk of supply disruption.
The market news is quoted as saying:
Incorporating information about each metal’s abundance in the Earth, the distribution of its deposits, and the political stability of the country in which it is found, the list ranks these highly desired elements on a relative scale. Speaking at the British Science Festival in Bradford, Andrew Bloodworth from the BGS explained that “while we won’t run out of these metals any time soon, the risks to supply are mostly human”.
