Rare earth metals are critical to modern technology, yet the issues surrounding their supply, especially the dominance of China in refining, create significant vulnerability for the U.S. economy.
The U.S. currently has one operating rare earth mine, highlighting the challenges the nation faces in securing its supply of essential minerals amidst growing geopolitical tensions.
Alta Resource Technologies has pioneered a method to extract rare earth elements from low-grade supplies more efficiently, potentially addressing a major gap in the U.S. market.
The potential fallout on major industry players like Nvidia and Apple underscores the urgency of the U.S. Department of Defense's strategy in securing rare earth supplies amid export restrictions.
