Federal investment is widening beyond rare earths to cover high-risk minerals including tungsten and antimony, with MINING.COM reporting that Washington's 2026 policy agenda will prioritize processing capacity for metals where the U.S. remains almost entirely dependent on foreign supply[2]. GoldHaven Resources (CSE: GOH), Emerita Resources (TSXV: EMO), Amaroq (TSXV: AMRQ), Silvercorp (NYSE-A: SVM) and Electra Battery Materials (NASDAQ: ELBM) are positioned across that expanding critical minerals spectrum.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBoston Consulting Group's January analysis warns that isolated government and corporate efforts to reconfigure supply chains are insufficient, calling instead for coordinated mineral ecosystems that link producers, processors and buyers under shared pricing and offtake structures[3]. Institutions are positioning for that structural shift: the EU, U.S. and Japan are expected to sign a trilateral memorandum of understanding on critical raw materials cooperation within 30 days of the February 4 ministerial, targeting joint investment in mining, refining and recycling to reduce dependence on Chinese-controlled supply[4].GoldHaven Resources (CSE: GOH) (OTCQB: GHVNF) has confirmed anomalous tungsten mineralization at its Magno Property in northwestern British Columbia. The company's 2025 surface exploration program identified a previously undocumented tungsten zone at the Vines Lake showing, where assays returned up to 6,550 parts per million tungsten. These results validate historical tungsten data at the Kuhn and Dead Goat showings while expanding the ...
