History

Historical Context

After the 2010 DOE Critical Materials Strategy warned of a $2 billion supply gap and earmarked $500 million for rare-earth research, the U.S. has pursued public-private partnerships. In 2025 President Trump and Australia’s Albanese pledged $1 billion each for $8.5 billion projects, and by FY 2026-27 the Pentagon allocated $5 billion, matching JPMorgan’s $5 billion early-stage investments to secure critical-mineral supply chains.
