On December 19, the US Geological Survey released a separate report which highlighted 23 critical minerals, including lithium, graphite, cobalt and rare earth elements. “With graphite on the new US Geological Survey’s list of critical minerals, and with the US 100% dependent on foreign-sourced graphite, we believe we will be at the front edge of any efforts by the US government to encourage critical mineral development”. The executive order states that it will be the policy of the government to tackle dependence on imported minerals by “streamlining leasing and permitting processes to expedite exploration, production, processing, reprocessing, recycling, and domestic refining of critical minerals”.
