I can only ever make material conditional claims about things like this :)

Hey, I wrote the article. This is my personal website that I wrote mostly over the weekend.

I went down a rabbit hole reading about metals and mining and just thought it was interesting. Not an expert or a nefarious actor, unfortunately.

Reserves means something specific in the context of minerals! Reserves measure 'economically viable' deposits. [1]
