Critical Minerals and the New Americas Supply Chain
As demand for copper, lithium, rare earths and other critical minerals accelerates, major mining, processing, manufacturing and supply chain projects are scaling. Success will depend on building an integrated critical minerals value chain, not simply increasing access to resources. As domestic supply alone will not meet rising demand, the US is increasingly looking across the Americas to secure the materials, processing capacity, strategic partnerships and logistics networks needed to support long-term industrial growth. Key discussion points will include:
• How trade agreements, financing, regional partnerships and localization strategies are reshaping critical minerals supply chains;
• Why Latin America is becoming central to US manufacturing ambitions;
• Where infrastructure, processing and logistics constraints are emerging across the value chain;
• What this means for future project development, logistics demand and trade flows across the Americas.
