SubscribeThe future of critical minerals supply chains starts with an understanding of the current and potential sources of supply. While China is a key chokepoint for many critical minerals, there are other source countries that will or can play an important role in expanding resiliency.
As PRISMS thought partner, Silverado prepared the Strategic Defense Critical Mineral Factbook 2025 to examine the supply chain of 12 key minerals/mineral groups that are essential to national security. The report serves as a resource for identifying vulnerabilities and opportunities.
The report covers antimony, arsenic, bismuth, gallium, germanium, graphite, indium, rare earths (including scandium and yttrium), tantalum, tungsten, and yttrium.
