“…However, the global abundance of brucite is difficult to estimate due to the inconsistencies in the reported numbers. 143 Brucite can be produced from reject brine through the use of alkaline solutions, but the feasibility of the method is dependent of the purity requirements for the obtained brucite, 144 and its commercial applications are mainly as flame retardant, odour control, agricultural feed and additive in Ordinary Portland cement. 143 Mg(OH) 2 is a usual precursor for producing Mg carbonates at high pressures and moderate temperatures, being the final product determined by the employed experimental parameters as reported in several works (Table 9).…”

Many proposed routes for indirect mineral carbonation are performed in two steps of which brucite is extracted from Mg bearing silicate minerals, converted into MgSO 4 and then carbonated.…”

“…When evaluating the economic potential of diverse graphite projects or occurrences, it is essential to consider several key factors, as highlighted in reviews by Krauss et al (1988), Beyssac and Rumble (2014), Scogings et al (2015), and Simandl et al (2015).…”

“…The pricing of graphite is intricately tied to factors like purity and flake size (Simandl et al, 2015;Gautneb et al, 2020). Among the globally recognized types of natural graphite deposits, such as microcrystalline or amorphous, vein-related, and crystalline flake, the latter is the most extensively extracted due to its widespread occurrence; veinrelated deposits contain higher concentrations of this mineral but are less common (Krauss et al, 1988;Simandl et al, 2015;Cui et al, 2017).…”

With the imperative to diversify energy matrices and reduce dependence on fossil fuels, nations are actively exploring alternative sources of energy. In that sense, graphite, due to its role in lithium batteries, emerges as a pivotal component in the global energy transition. Governments, recognizing the strategic significance of certain minerals, compile lists of critical minerals to achieve energy autonomy. However, in the recent update of Colombia’s critical mineral list, noteworthy minerals such as lithium and graphite were overlooked. Despite the widespread presence of graphite along the Central Cordillera of Colombia, potentially extending into the Real Cordillera in Ecuador, its importance has remained largely unnoticed for years. This manuscript underscores the critical need to comprehensively characterize graphite occurrences in the Andes of Colombia. The manifestations of graphite suggest its potential significance in the pursuit of cleaner energy sources. This study aims to draw attention to the overlooked role of graphite, urging a reevaluation of its inclusion in Colombia’s critical minerals list to enhance the nation’s strategic positioning in the global shift towards sustainable energy solutions.

The Mount Mather Creek sodalite-bearing carbohydrothermal breccia dyke is located ~35 km northwest of Golden, British Columbia, Canada, within the Foreland Belt on the eastern side of the Mississippian-to-Devonian British Columbia Alkaline Province. The dyke occurs in situ on the western side of the Mount Mather Creek gully, cropping out over a distance of ~80 m with a thickness of up to 10 m, intruding a syncline of Middle and Upper Cambrian Chancellor Group carbonate rocks. To date, no parental alkaline complex has been found adjacent or proximal to the dyke. The breccia dyke is flow-banded and matrix-supported and consists of host rock clasts, medium- to coarse-grained, anhedral-to-poikilitic carbonate-rich syenite segregations that occur as veins and pods, and fine-grained banded sodalite plus carbonate fragments in a carbonate-rich matrix. The sodalite-carbonate segregations consist dominantly of sodalite, ferroan dolomite, calcite and microcline, with an extensive suite of trace minerals enriched in rare earth elements (REE), Na, Ba and Sr, including albite, analcime, ancylite-(Ce), chabazite-Na, fluorapatite, baryte, barytocalcite, cancrinite, galena, goethite, gonnardite, harmotome, edingtonite, a potentially new Mg-bearing edingtonite-like mineral, natrolite, nordstrandite, pyrite, quintinite and sphalerite. Alteration of the primary silicate–carbonate assemblage has resulted in a secondary assemblage of hydrothermal or carbohydrothermal REE–Ba–Sr–Na phases including albite, analcime, cancrinite, gonnardite and nordstrandite after sodalite, together with complex intergrowths of ancylite-(Ce), barytocalcite, edingtonite, and a potentially-new Mg-bearing edingtonite-like mineral. Remobilisation of Ba and Sr from barytocalcite resulted in crystallisation of late-stage baryte and Sr-rich calcite. Mount Mather Creek is only the fifth Canadian occurrence of the Ba-zeolite, edingtonite, and the second Canadian occurrence of the rare layered double hydroxide quintinite. The Mount Mather Creek breccia is a carbohydrothermal deposit, the product of a low temperature (<450°C), highly evolved, alkaline, SiO2-undersaturated, Na–Ba–REE–Cl-rich, residual carbonated silicate melt whose parental origins remain unknown.
