“...and it wasn’t found where you’d expect.”

I wouldn’t expect it anywhere else but in some fifth world backwater.

Did they find any unobtanium?

There are deposits of minerals all over the world. The big question, alluded to in this article is:

Can they be extracted for a lower cost than they are worth on the market?

“With the scale of the discovery comes the need for careful environmental oversight.”

If you lock up any environmentalists that problem goes away quickly!

“Putin will be claiming it has no right to be a state.”

Putin’s tied up in Ukraine. Xi will take over Kazakhstan before Putin can free up his forces.

it wasn’t found where you’d expect.

I'm not a geologist. Why should I have not expected it there?

”If you lock up any environmentalists that problem goes away quickly!,”

Typical time for a mining operation from discovery to harvesting is usually ten years, but that is in the West, where rules,regulations, and financing get in the way.
