Why Work with Minefield Consulting?

Focused Strategy

No templates. Every solution is crafted around the specific context, risks, and ambitions of the client.

Discretion First

Trust is more than a value — it’s the operational foundation. Confidentiality is practiced, not promised.

Deep, working knowledge of critical mineral markets, global policy dynamics, and the power structures shaping them.

Services

Policy Development

Design of practical, durable policy frameworks rooted in real-world dynamics. Whether at the national or organisational level, the approach is guided by clarity, evidence, and the readiness to challenge assumptions when necessary.

Know the market, know your allies, and win the battle for critical minerals.

Stakeholder Mapping & Engagement

Influence is built, not broadcast. Services include in-depth analysis of key players — their incentives, relationships, and points of leverage — to enable meaningful engagement and strategic movement.

He who influences quietly, endures.

International Relations & Trade Strategy

Critical minerals sit at the crossroads of geopolitics. Guidance includes navigating complex international terrain, aligning with strategic partners, and anticipating shifts before they become risks.

Influence the supply, and you influence the state.

Market Positioning & Strategic Narrative

In a crowded space, clarity cuts through. Advisory support in shaping positioning and messaging to influence policy, attract partners, or project long-term vision — with precision and intent.

A well-placed word can move more than a thousand tonnes.

About

Principled. Strategic. Unafraid.

The practice draws on experience across government, diplomacy, and industry, offering strategic counsel in spaces where the stakes are high and the margin for error is narrow. There’s discipline in saying no when the conditions aren’t right — and resolve in backing bold strategies when they are.

Founded on the principle that effective advice doesn’t seek attention — it delivers results.

This is not lobbying. This is not publicity. This is strategic partnership at the intersection of resource security, policy, and global competitiveness.

Mission

The mission is to support decision-makers navigating the high-stakes world of critical minerals. Guidance is shaped by a deep understanding of market dynamics, geopolitics, and complex policy environments. Every engagement is grounded in trust, delivered with discretion, and focused on helping clients move decisively through complexity.

The Critical Minerals Pragmatist

No spin. No fluff. Just the sharp end of the supply chain.

A no-holding-back newsletter cutting through the noise in critical minerals, geopolitics, and resource policy. The Critical Minerals Pragmatist is built for those who want clarity, not consensus — and insight, not industry PR.

Expect sharp takes, unexpected angles, and just enough irreverence to make it entertaining. Less white paper, more war room. From strategic shifts in Washington or Beijing to obscure trade clauses shaping future markets — if it matters, it’s covered.

Who’s it for?
Policymakers, investors, operators, and anyone tired of bland commentary and recycled talking points.

Tone?
Smart. Dry. Occasionally ruthless.

Frequency?
Monthly — or when there’s something worth saying.
