First Tellurium invited to participate in the Energy Transition Metals Summit in Washington, DC

Vancouver, BC, Canada – TheNewswire -- January 16, 2024 – First Tellurium Corp. (CSE: FTEL ) ( OTC: FSTTF ), reports that the Australian Department of Industry, Science and Resources has added tellurium to its Critical Minerals List. The department notes that tellurium has become one of 30 minerals considered essential to Australia’s modern technologies, economies and/ or national security, and that are vulnerable to supply chain disruption.

Australia joins the U.S., Canada, the United Kingdom, India and South Korea in designating tellurium as a critical mineral.

“As world tensions and supply chain issues ratchet up, critical minerals like tellurium are becoming more important to technology and national security,” said First Tellurium President and CEO Tyrone Docherty. “This is why both the U.S. and Canada are establishing significant funding for critical mineral exploration and production.”

Docherty noted that First Tellurium’s Deer Horn Property in British Columbia holds more critical minerals than tellurium.

“Deer Horn was staked originally for its tungsten, which is considered a critical mineral in Canada, the U.S. and a number of other countries,” said Docherty. “In addition to tungsten, Deer Horn contains showings of the critical minerals bismuth and molybdenum, as well as copper, gold and silver.”

First Tellurium Invited to Energy Transition Metals Summit

As a result of First Tellurium’s leading position in tellurium exploration, the Company was invited to, and will participate in, the Energy Transition Metals Summit in Washington, DC in late April. The summit is described as the “premier independent investment conference focused on explorers, developers and emerging producers of copper, uranium, lithium, cobalt and critical metals dedicated to the Global Energy Transition.”

“We’re pleased to have been invited, and we look forward to participating in, this event,” said Docherty. “It’s symbolic of how crucial the supply of critical metals is to national industry and security.”
