Which of them trusts mining and metallurgy more?
FINANCIAL CORPORATIONS or MINING CONSULTATION AND SERVICES COMPANIES?
Investment funds, banks, hedge funds, various financial corporations invest in mining and metallurgy plants. Hence, they believe in the future of mining and metallurgy.
Why didn't the consultation and services companies build a mining plant for themselves? It makes sense to build the best plant for yourself. Do they not trust their know-how and innovative technologies?
IMHO, If they don't believe in themselves, then why should we trust them?

Long-awaited news for everyone. Are there billionaires who made their fortune in the production of rare earth metals? Yes! This is the Russian billionaire #1064 Alexander Nesis (Forbes).
Alexander Nesis got his start in the late 1980s using uranium production waste to produce and sell rare-earth metals.
IMHO, He took up this problem not by accident, but purposefully. He knew what he was doing because he graduated from the university with a degree in radiochemistry.
