International Network
The CMAA benefits from the wider international network of domestic associations, including the Critical Minerals Association United Kingdom, Critical Minerals Association United States of America, and Canadian Critical Minerals and Materials Alliance that fall under the Critical Minerals International Alliance (CMIA) umbrella.
While the CMAA is fully independent and its Australian members set the agenda, the CMAA benefits from the experience and track record of its sister associations, as well as extensive government relationships across the globe.
The CMIA aims to bridge the gap between Western nations and industry attempting to navigate complex and monopolised supply chains. The CMIA's motto is "outcome, not output" as we aim to create the resilient, secure, low-carbon, responsible critical minerals supply chains of the future.
This requires a collaborative and proactive approach to ensure that like-minded nations remove obstacles and pave the way for industry to innovate and find solutions to mitigate the effects of the forecasted shortfall in extracted critical minerals available for the manufacture of goods.
