Michael Rowley, President & CEO of Stillwater Critical Minerals, discusses the company’s commanding position in the Stillwater Complex of Montana, one of the most mineral-rich districts in the United States—shared with Sabanier-Stillwater’s producing mines.
Stillwater Critical Minerals holds half of the entire complex and is advancing a 1.6 billion pound nickel-copper-cobalt resource, along with 3.8 million ounces of PGEs and gold, over a 9.5 km trend—open for expansion. Backed by strategic investor Glencore (15.4%), and supported by U.S. policymakers, the company is becoming central to America’s clean energy and critical minerals strategy.
With talent from Ivanhoe and Glencore on board, and exploration models on par with world-class South African operations, Stillwater is aligning ESG-forward development with carbon sequestration potential, hydrogen generation from ultramafic rocks, and Montana’s favorable permitting climate.
