As an exploration geologist, the Hamersley iron story has always fascinated me. For decades, we’ve treated the timeline of iron ore formation in the Pilbara’s Hamersley Province as almost gospel. We referenced phosphate dating and clast-bearing conglomerates as reliable benchmarks. But what happens when new geochronological tools rip apart that foundation?

The narrative around critical minerals is no longer just a story of energy transition. It has become a complex intersection of economics, security, diplomacy, and market psychology. At first, it was about rare earths and lithium. Now the ripples have spread across copper, gold, iron ore, antimony, and more.
