このコンテンツについて
On the policy front, former President Donald Trump declared a critical mineral emergency on June 6, invoking Defense Production Act powers to bolster the domestic supply of minerals vital to high-tech manufacturing and clean energy systems. This executive action is designed to reduce dependence on foreign producers, especially as the country accelerates its clean energy transition. The focus on streamlining permitting processes for mining operations is gaining momentum, with initiatives like the FAST-41 process aiming to expedite reviews for priority projects. The federal government recently added multiple key critical mineral projects in Idaho, Oregon, Utah, and Nevada, and a graphite mine in Alaska to the FAST-41 program. Notably, this Alaskan graphite operation has now secured an agreement to supply graphite to Lucid, an electric car manufacturer, strengthening the domestic battery supply chain according to Metal Tech News and the Western Governors' Association.
In Wyoming, Big Blue Technologies revealed plans to expand its magnesium smelter, aiming for a production level of 100 tons per year, making it the largest such facility in North America. Magnesium plays a crucial role in car batteries, indicating a broader industry pivot to support electric vehicle manufacturing. Meanwhile, North Dakota set a new precedent by establishing a royalty rate for rare earth minerals, a move highlighted in the latest episode of the Mineral Rights Podcast. The state’s initiative reflects a growing trend toward formalizing frameworks for extracting and monetizing these critical resources.
National energy and mineral supply chains continue to be a topic of focus as the Biden administration works to safeguard against global disruptions. This includes initiatives to shift reliance away from geopolitical rivals and promote deeper partnerships with allies such as the European Union and the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework nations, as outlined in the recent Quadrennial Supply Chain Review.
Internationally, the United States and Saudi Arabia are deepening cooperation through new energy and critical mineral agreements, while a new minerals deal with Ukraine signals a commitment to building resilient global supply chains. Collectively, these developments underscore an emerging pattern: a bipartisan and industry-wide focus on expanding domestic production, accelerating permitting and investment in critical minerals, and building more secure energy and mineral supply chains in response to both market demands and strategic vulnerabilities.
