We are building resilient and diversified supply chains by convening critical mineral miners, processors, end-user manufacturers, investors, and the public sector to provide transparent pricing, cost structures, and supply and demand projections.
OUR MISSION
The Critical Minerals Forum facilitates the collaboration needed for increased and reliable production of critical minerals by convening leading companies across the minerals supply chain, investors, and government institutions. We have two primary objectives:
Develop actionable cost, price, supply, and demand projections with geographic granularity.
In partnership with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's (DARPA's) Open Price Exploration for National Security (OPEN) initiative, preeminent data analytics firms will produce forecasts and Forum members will provide feedback to refine them, yielding credible deal-relevant data under multiple policy scenarios.
Provide a clearinghouse for expanded critical minerals supply chain projects.
Market participants can share opportunities for critical minerals investments and investors can identify their financing requirements.
The Forum also will provide a mechanism for information sharing between investors and government agencies, based on market data, and to support coordination of investment activities.
