Cesium is an extremely rare commodity and is considered a critical mineral by the U.S. government, as are lithium and tantalum. Cesium is used for the GPS in the cell phones, in atomic clocks, and as a lubricant in oil drilling. There are only three cesium mines in the world, and Sinomine has one of them.... Last year, a Sinomine subsidiary company acquired the Tanco lithium, cesium and tantalum mine from Cabot Corporation. The operation is 180 kilometres northeast of Winnipeg, close to the border with Ontario where the pegmatite formation there has been mined there since the late 1960s. #mpda #greeneconomy #exploration #minerals
