The TPAK Index: Mineral Profiles
The name TPAK is an index of four key minerals that are essential for modern technology and green energy. Each letter represents a mineral with unique properties and applications.
T – Titanite
The Pathfinder for Rare Earths
Historically known as Sphene
Canadian Context: Widely distributed across the Canadian Shield (Ontario & Quebec)
Tech Focus: Key host for REEs and Titanium, essential for tracking geological timelines and sourcing materials
P – Pyrochlore
The Industrial Backbone
Home to the Niobe mine in Quebec – one of the only underground niobium mines in the world
Tech Focus: Essential for aerospace engines, gas turbines, and structural integrity of modern infrastructure
A – Apatite
The Green Energy Multiplier
Found abundantly in carbonatite complexes across Canada (e.g., Hoidas Lake)
Tech Focus: Critical source for permanent magnets used in EVs and Wind Turbines
K – Kainosite
The Heavy Hitter
Distinct mineral found in specialized pegmatites like those in the Evans-Lou Mine (Quebec) and Strange Lake (Labrador)
**Tech Focus:** Essential components for lasers, superconductors, and microwave filters used in 5G technology and defense systems
