“We’re focused on critical minerals in the U.S.,” Mr Hartmann said. “Currently, we’re targeting for acquisition, development, and near-term production.”

He continued: “We’re in numerous critical mineral commodities in the Western United States, [which are] generally under-appreciated and under-valued, that we’ve been able to come in, identify, and move forward with.”

The Oz company’s portfolio includes lithium, and then more recently, ribidium and tungsten, which Mr Hartmann said has Iris “very excited.”
