10月6日，特朗普政府正在讨论入股关键金属公司Critical Metals，这或将使美国直接持有格陵兰最大规 模稀土矿项目的权益。 受此消息刺激，美股6日开盘后，Critical Metals股价大幅飙涨，一度暴涨近109%。其他美股稀土概念股 亦全线大涨，USA Rare Earth一度大涨超12%，American Resources一度大涨超13%，MP Materials一度涨 4.8%。 事关稀土，特朗普动作不断。 北京时间10月7日凌晨消息，美国宣布与矿产勘探公司Trilogy Metals合作，美国获得Trilogy Metals 10% 的股份。美股盘后，Trilogy Metals盘后一度飙涨超230%。 暴涨 10月7日凌晨，周一美股盘后，小市值矿业公司Trilogy Metals一度涨超230%。 值得注意的是，美国政府近期已成功入股锂矿巨头Lithium Americas以及坐拥芒廷帕斯稀土矿的美国稀 土巨头MP Materials，这凸显出特朗普政府希望从全球经济所需稀土等核心矿物产量增长中获益的决 心。 消息面上，特朗普政府宣布撤销拜登时期阻止阿拉斯加安布勒公路项目建设的决定，并 ...

Core Viewpoint - The Trump administration is considering acquiring a stake in Critical Metals Corp (CRML.US) to gain direct access to Greenland's largest rare earth mining project, reflecting a strategic push for U.S. independence in critical mineral supplies amid rising geopolitical tensions with China [1][3]. Group 1: U.S. Government's Strategic Moves - The U.S. government has successfully invested in lithium mining giant Lithium Americas (LAC.US) and rare earth producer MP Materials (MP.US), indicating a strong commitment to increasing domestic production of critical minerals [1][3]. - Discussions are ongoing regarding converting a $50 million grant into equity for Critical Metals, potentially giving the U.S. government an 8% stake in the company, although this figure may increase [7][8]. - The U.S. Department of Defense has acknowledged the need to rebuild a domestic supply chain for rare earths, emphasizing the importance of a "mine-to-magnet" approach [5][6]. Group 2: Importance of Rare Earths - Rare earth elements are crucial for advanced technologies, including electric vehicles, consumer electronics, and military applications, making them a strategic priority for the U.S. [3][4]. - China currently dominates the global rare earth market, controlling approximately 60%-70% of mining and 85%-90% of refining and processing, which has heightened U.S. efforts to secure alternative sources [4][5]. - The production of rare earths is essential for the U.S. defense industry, with specific compounds like NdPr being critical for manufacturing high-performance magnets used in military systems [6][10]. Group 3: Challenges and Developments in Greenland - The Tanbreez rare earth project in Greenland requires an estimated $290 million for commercial production, with the potential to produce 85,000 tons of rare earth concentrate annually once operational [10]. - Greenland's mining sector has faced slow development due to insufficient investor interest and environmental concerns, with only two small mines currently in operation [10]. - The geographical challenges of the Tanbreez site, being remote and cold, pose significant hurdles for its development [10].
