Critical Metals Plc chairman Christopher Ecclestone talks through just why Beryllium's a unique and attractive metal.
''In an age where we hear a lot about critical metals and the supply of strategic metals and Chinese dominance ... this is the only metal where the US has almost total domination of the production and processing''.
''It's primarily used in alloys of copper and aluminium and it has lots of defence applications and it's those applications, particularly in jet fighters, which has meant the Pentagon has had a long term interest in maintaining US dominance''.
