Denis Clement: Alberta's Massive Black Shale Bonanza: 50B Tons of REEs & Critical Minerals via Bioleaching – Critical Minerals Americas Interview

In this exclusive interview, Michael Fox speaks with Denis Clement of Critical Minerals Americas about their massive polymetallic black shale project in northeastern Alberta—a 467 sq km powerhouse with 35-50 billion tons of recoverable mineralized shales, boasting a multi-billion dollar NPV from preliminary assessments. Discover the unique 235 sq km flat-lying deposit rich in 8 critical minerals and 14 of 15 rare earth elements (excluding promethium), validated by National Research Council bench-scale tests. Learn their innovative bioleaching strategy for local processing of nickel, cobalt, lithium, and more—slashing energy use and carbon footprint without smelters, unlike China-dependent projects. Denis outlines the $8M reverse takeover plan to delineate Buckton South and Asphalt areas, upgrade NRC-backed bioleaching tech, and leverage Alberta’s infrastructure for Canada’s critical minerals dominance.
