In this InvestorIntel interview, Byron W King talks to Clean Air Metals Inc.’s (TSXV: AIR | OTCQB: CLRMF) CEO and Director Abraham Drost about why platinum and palladium “are hot metals right now.” As key elements used in production of green hydrogen and fuel cells, Abraham explains why platinum and palladium are important for the hydrogen economy to help us achieve net zero emissions target.

Speaking about the non-Russian sources of platinum and palladium, Abraham provides an update on Clean Air Metals’ Thunder Bay North Critical Minerals Project in Ontario, Canada. In addition to having platinum and palladium in 1:1 ratio, Abraham says that their Thunder Bay North Critical Minerals Project also has copper and nickel.
