Mission Critical Metals was founded in 2024 by Christopher Ecclestone, Hugh Oswald and Consolidated Mineral Estates Limited.
The company has a long-term goal of accumulating producing (or potentially producing assets) in metals used by the military-industrial complex in the West. In the first instance, the focus will be on Antimony, Beryllium, Tin and Tungsten.
The company is region-agnostic and intends to be diversified. As well as mining, it also may engage in the trading of said metals by acquiring ore from local producers and upgrading it to either concentrates or end-products.
