NMG to Participate in Key Global Industry Events to Advance Its Commercial and Strategic Engagement

Key Terms

critical minerals technical

Materials needed to build modern technologies—like batteries, electronics, renewable energy systems and defense equipment—that have few easy substitutes and often come from a small number of countries or mines. Investors care because their supply can be disrupted, expensive or slow to increase, which affects the cost, availability and growth prospects of companies and industries that rely on them; think of them as critical spare parts for the global economy.

carbon‑neutral technical

Carbon-neutral means an organization, product, or activity results in no net addition of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere by cutting its own emissions and offsetting any remaining emissions through removals or credible credits. Investors care because carbon neutrality can reduce the risk of future regulations, fines or higher operating costs and can improve reputation and access to customers and capital; think of it like balancing a checkbook so future surprise bills are less likely.

esg technical

ESG stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance, which are key factors investors consider when evaluating how sustainable and responsible a company is. It involves assessing how a company manages its impact on the environment, treats its employees and communities, and operates transparently and ethically. Investors use ESG criteria to identify businesses that align with their values and have the potential for long-term success.
