Integrating

​

supply chains

Together We Can Achieve More

There is no unique voice representing the U.S. critical minerals sector (including support services, finance, legal and downstream companies) that promotes the needs of and delivers concrete outcomes for industry across the entire supply chain.

​

The CMA USA aims to unify and amplify the voice of its members to build a profitable, sustainable, secure, diversified, and globally recognised critical minerals industry.

Together we can​:

  • Accelerate domestic exploration, mining, processing, refining, and recycling of critical minerals;

  • Drive best practices and balance sustainability with profitability; 

  • Integrate markets and supply chains to bolster security of supply; 

  • Advocate for favourable policies that protect American companies from market manipulations.

A New Face of Industry

Critical minerals are essential to building the technologies required to meet climate goals and diversifying existing energy sources. Without increased investment in critical minerals, defence capabilities, manufacturing output, and supply chain diversification opportunities will be diminished. 

 

The CMA USA promotes responsible extraction, processing, and refining of critical minerals, as well as efficient recycling and re-use of end-of-life products.
