Move from critical minerals insight to action — across defense and the energy transition.

As defense priorities and electrification accelerate demand for critical minerals, S&P Capital IQ Pro helps you connect projects, producers, costs, emissions, transactions, and market forecasts in one workflow—so you can assess risk and opportunity from mine to market with confidence. 

• Track discoveries to production: Screen critical mineral projects by region, development stage, size, and mine life cycle, then drill into asset-level data (e.g., reserves/resources, feasibility, production, operating/cash costs). 
  
  
• Model volatility: Rank Mine Economics cost curves and run sensitivity/scenario inputs to understand  competitiveness and downside risk as conditions change.
  
  
• Strengthen forward views: Use critical minerals market analysis with 2-year and 10-year price, demand, and supply forecasts and commodity consensus/forecast content to support assumptions.
  
  
• Benchmark M&A: Compare opportunities against a 15+ year mining transactions history with deal context and filters (buyer/seller, asset/location and more). 
  
  
• Integrate sustainability constraints: Use Mining Carbon Emissions Curves with mine-level Scope 1 & 2 models and emissions curves to benchmark emissions and optimize resource planning.
  
  
• Stay ahead of drivers: Follow mining news/research coverage that includes energy transition developments, regulatory policy shifts, geopolitical tensions, and supply chain trends affecting critical minerals.
