Steve Yang of Natural Resource Stocks sits down with John Lee, CEO and Executive Chairman of CleanTech CTV, for a detailed update on the company’s United States critical-minerals strategy. The discussion centers on the Campbell-Crotser Fluorspar Project in Kentucky and the Gibellini Vanadium Project in Nevada, with John explaining why CleanTech is currently prioritizing fluorspar development.

John outlines the role of fluorine-based materials across uranium enrichment, nuclear power, batteries, semiconductors, artificial intelligence infrastructure, robotics, steel, aluminum, refrigerants, and renewable-energy systems. He also discusses the concentration of global fluorspar production outside the United States and why a domestic supply source could become strategically important.

The interview covers CleanTech’s Kentucky land position, historical drilling and resource records, the planned 16-hole drill program, permitting work, proposed processing capacity, potential annual production, and discussions with possible customers and offtake partners. John also addresses the company’s financing plans, insider ownership, market valuation, and the milestones he believes could move CleanTech toward production and revenue.

The Gibellini Vanadium Project remains an advanced Nevada asset with major permitting work completed, while CleanTech focuses near-term capital and management attention on advancing its Kentucky fluorspar portfolio.
