US Export-Import Bank Launches Open Trading for $12 Billion Mineral Stockpile
The US Export-Import Bank's Project Vault will allow all trading companies to participate in a $12 billion critical minerals stockpile. This initiative aims to support manufacturers and reduce reliance on Chinese mineral processing.

The US Export-Import Bank's Project Vault, a $12 billion initiative, will be accessible to all trading companies, not just initial suppliers. The project, expected to be operational this year, combines $2 billion in private investment with a $10 billion Ex-Im Bank loan.
It targets rare earths and niche metals, including gallium, and encompasses all 60 minerals classified as critical by the US Geological Survey. By providing a buffer against price fluctuations without requiring individual stockpiling, the program aims to strengthen US manufacturing and economic resilience against supply disruptions.
