*Out Now* The Mineral Imperative by Amanda Van Dyke
In January 2026 Amanda published The Mineral Imperative, which makes the case that minerals underpin every modern system - from energy and technology to defence and infrastructure - yet are dangerously taken for granted. As demand accelerates and supply constraints harden, it calls for an urgent reset in how governments, investors and societies approach mining and material security. “I wanted to connect the dots for investors, policymakers, environmentalists, and even for the miners themselves, because the lack of systemic understanding was leading to the tipping point, a structural supply crisis which has arguably already begun.” Amanda will be speaking at our next event, The Future of Tech, on March 18. See reverse of the magazine for more details.
Amanda is a senior investment professional with experience in private equity, public equity and capital markets, specialising in junior mining and critical minerals.
She founded Women in Mining UK and the ARCH Sustainable Resources Fund, and as founder of the Critical Minerals Hub Amanda is committed to raising awareness of critical mineral supply chains, the role they play in the world, and the countries and industries that produce them. If Amanda seems familiar it’s because we interviewed her for our June 2025 Long Read, ‘How On Earth Has It Come To This? The Sorry State Of Rare Earth Minerals’.
