US Expands Critical Minerals List to 60 Strategic Resources
- The U.S. Geological Survey updated its critical-minerals list by adding 10 minerals to total 60, replacing the 2022 critical-minerals list.
- Industry calls and policy aims converged to prompt the update as the resource industry pushed to add copper and potash, while President Donald Trump prioritized boosting domestic mineral supply.
- The update specifically added copper, silver and uranium, noting much U.S. potash comes from Canada, which supplies roughly 80 per cent of imports.
- The update reshapes investment and permitting incentives as the U.S. Geological Survey list guides mining investors, tax incentives and the Section 232 probe that could trigger tariffs.
- Geopolitical strains and import reliance shape the list's long-term significance as it includes 15 rare earth elements amid U.S.-China tensions, while copper imports from Chile, Peru and Canada cover almost half U.S. use and refining is centered in China.
