B.C. exploration spending is down 26% and no new critical mineral mine has opened in over a decade. At @MineralsNorth the message was clear: Canada must cut red tape, renew tax credits, and fast-track permitting to lead in the new era. 🇨🇦⛏️ biv.com/news/commentary/opin…

China controls 2/3 of rare earth mining and 90% of refining, creating a national security risk for the U.S. Trump’s EO 14241 + the 45X tax credit aim to fix this. It’s time to unleash American cobalt, lithium & antimony—before it’s too late. @UtilityDive utilitydive.com/news/critica…

India and Chile took a major step forward in strengthening their economic partnership by signing the Terms of Reference (ToR) for a Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA). Critical Minerals are an important part of CEPA discussions. tribuneindia.com/news/busine…

Mayor Lefebvre’s 2025 Sudbury address focused on critical minerals called for unity: "Come, let us build together." Sudbury’s vision is bold: grow sustainably, compete globally, and welcome all. northernontariobusiness.com/…

(12/17) A smart fix? Offer monthly price floors for domestic producers, like the @USDA does for crops. Let them plan long-term. China floods markets to suppress prices. Without hedging tools, U.S. miners can’t compete. We need a Commodity Credit Corp for critical minerals.

(16/17) Recycling can’t replace mining, but it can ease supply shocks. Washington should support a private-sector recycling buildout. R&D is the long game. Lithium from geothermal brine, rare earths from coal waste, sodium-ion batteries — we need to invest hard.

(17/17)The U.S. has the tech and talent. What it lacks is urgency. The moment demands speed, ambition, and national coordination. A real critical minerals strategy = stockpiling, financing, recycling, refining, and innovation. Let’s learn from history and secure America’s future.
