A Bloomberg report indicates the U.S. is at least a decade away from reducing its reliance on China for critical rare earth minerals, despite significant investments. Analysts predict that by 2035, non-Chinese producers will meet less than 20% of global demand for heavy rare earths like dysprosium and terbium, essential for advanced technologies. The U.S. faces challenges in mining and refining, with China maintaining dominance due to its established infrastructure and expertise.

China’s Ganfeng Lithium has secured orders through the first half of 2027, driven by rising demand for energy storage systems (ESS) and investments in artificial intelligence data centres (AIDCs). President Wang Xiaoshen noted that production capacity is fully booked, with plans to increase output by 50% next year. The surge in ESS demand is attributed to energy price fluctuations and the growth of AIDCs. Ganfeng's lithium-ion batteries are crucial for stabilizing electricity networks, and the company anticipates significant growth from AIDCs in the future.

US rare earth miners, including MP Materials and USA Rare Earth, are facing significant declines due to falling global commodity prices, geopolitical shifts, and supply-side risks. Stocks are down over 10% amid speculation of a potential US-China rare earth agreement. Additionally, insider selling and a global risk-off sentiment are contributing to the downturn. Despite these challenges, experts believe the structural foundation for domestic rare earth companies remains strong, supported by long-term contracts and agreements.

US Critical Materials Corp and Bayan Mining and Minerals Ltd have signed a non-binding MoU to evaluate rare-earth processing technologies from USCM's Sheep Creek Project in Montana. This collaboration aims to accelerate a US-based rare-earth processing pathway, enhancing national security and supporting AI technology advancements. The project will assess the applicability of Bayan's processing technologies and may lead to establishing a US-based pilot facility. USCM is also considering an investment in Bayan, subject to agreements and regulatory approvals.

The US is exploring deep-sea mining to reduce reliance on China for critical minerals essential for AI and clean energy. American Ocean Minerals aims to extract polymetallic nodules in the Cook Islands, which could provide a long-term mineral supply. However, challenges such as global moratoriums, biodiversity concerns, and the absence of mining approvals may hinder progress.

U.S. researchers are creating a Microbial Rare Earth Element Atlas to catalog proteins that bind to critical minerals, funded by $2 million from the Department of Energy. This project aims to enhance domestic supply chains for rare earth elements essential for technology. Using machine learning, the team will identify geographic areas rich in these proteins and develop methods for bioaccumulating metals from waste, ultimately supporting U.S. mineral refining efforts.
