Core Viewpoint - The U.S. Department of the Interior has designated six minerals—potash, silicon, copper, silver, rhenium, and lead—as critical minerals, with formal recognition expected by the end of September. This move aims to bolster domestic production and reduce reliance on imports, which poses economic risks [2][4]. Group 1: Economic Impact - If the supply of the six designated minerals is halted for one year, the U.S. GDP is projected to decrease by approximately $4.95 billion [8]. - The U.S. Geological Survey indicates that the import dependency for potash and silicon exceeds 80%, raising concerns about economic security [4]. - The potential GDP loss from the disruption of each mineral varies, with potash estimated to cause a $2.5 billion loss and silicon $1 billion [7]. Group 2: Government Actions - The Trump administration is accelerating efforts to secure domestic production of critical minerals, having previously declared a national emergency due to insufficient domestic supply [4][6]. - The designation of these minerals will facilitate access to funding and loans for mining and production companies, as well as expedite the review process for production permits [6]. - The critical minerals list is updated approximately every three years, with the upcoming update expected to increase the total number of critical minerals to 54 [6]. Group 3: Specific Minerals and Risks - The designation process now includes minerals whose processed products face supply risks, such as copper, which, despite low import risk for ore, has significant economic implications if refined copper supply is disrupted [6]. - The U.S. is 100% reliant on China for certain critical minerals like samarium, which is essential for defense and aerospace industries. A one-year supply halt of samarium could lead to a GDP decrease of approximately $4.498 billion [8]. - The U.S. Department of Defense has become the largest shareholder in MP Materials, the only rare earth mine operating in the U.S., ensuring price stability for rare earth magnets over the next decade [8].
