That's roughly an entire year of global mine production, gone. At the same time, governments are treating metals like tungsten, zinc, and indium as national security priorities: Canada has signed more than 20 critical mineral agreements this year alone while the U.S. committed $12 billion to Project Vault, its first strategic minerals reserve[2].
