Americas Mineral Infrastructure Attracts Investment Amid Critical Material Shortages
Leaders across the Americas are mobilizing to address the rising demand for minerals and metals. U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent's January initiative to secure critical mineral supply chains was bolstered by the Department of Energy's $134 million investment in domestic rare earth production.
Companies such as Americore Resources, USA Rare Earth, Denison Mines, Canada Nickel Company, and Bravo Mining are positioned to benefit. Fitch's BMI forecasts a continuing global silver market deficit through 2026.
Americore is evaluating options to monetize its Trinity Silver Project in Nevada, potentially accessing 400,000 ounces of silver. USA Rare Earth secured a $1.6 billion agreement with the U.S. Department of Commerce to develop a mine-to-magnet platform by 2030.
Denison Mines announced grid power availability for its Phoenix uranium mine site. Canada Nickel Company is advancing the Crawford Nickel Sulphide Project with Ausenco Engineering. Bravo Mining is set to anchor Brazil's newly established Export Processing Zone in Barcarena.
