 foreign sources, securing a stable supply of rare earths has become a national priority. The U.S.
currently holds about 1.9 million metric tons of rare earth reserves, primarily located at the Mountain Pass mine in California. However,
the country is heavily dependent on imports, with over 60% of its rare earths coming from China. This reliance poses significant risks,
particularly in light of ongoing trade tensions and geopolitical challenges. The U.S. government has recognized the strategic importance
of rare earths and is actively seeking to bolster domestic production and processing capabilities to ensure a resilient supply chain for
critical minerals.

Rare earth elements are vital to
modern technology and renewable energy solutions, with China currently dominating the market in both reserves and processing. Other countries,
such as Brazil and Australia, hold significant reserves but face challenges in competing with China’s established infrastructure.
As the U.S. economy increasingly relies on advanced technologies, securing a stable supply of rare earths is essential for maintaining
competitiveness and national security.
