Critical minerals are found in nearly every high-tech product we use today. For example, an iPhone is made of over 40 different elements found in dozens of different as-mined critical minerals (e.g. the rocks that come out of the ground). Right now the United States relies on our chief adversary, China, to supply nearly 100 of some of the most important critical minerals. Take for example, the rare earth metals, scandium, and graphite. In this episode I explore a key component of achieving American Minerals Independence: opening new mines for critical minerals. To do this, I sat down with Pini Althaus, CEO of USA Rare Earths. Pini is a mining executive with decades of experience capitalizing and setting up new mining operations. USA Rare Earths is building an integrated mine to magnet rare earth supply chain located fully in the United States.
