    Ukraine's Rare Earth Minerals | March 3, 2025

    10:00Ukraine's Rare Earth Minerals | March 3, 2025
    • Well, the U.S. lists 50 minerals that are critical. This includes titanium and zirconium, which is useful for aviation and the space industry, including for defense. Graphite is a key component for EV batteries and nuclear reactors, and lithium is needed for rechargeable batteries. Now beyond all this being very useful, the U.S. also wants more rare earths and other critical minerals as it's an area China has been dominating for years. According to the Ukrainian government, Ukraine has deposits of 22 out of 50 minerals deemed critical to the U.S. It's unclear which of these minerals and how much of them are actually in this proposed deal. Many of these resources are expensive to mine, and some are currently in Russian-occupied areas. Extracting, processing, and refining these types of minerals can be very expensive and time-consuming. In

    • The pressure to get money out of the ground is enormous, as are the questions as to whether the astronomical sums Trump thinks are here can match the money to be made under this sprawling sea of unknown potential. And who knows what rare earth is worth, you know, but at least it's something. And who knows what it's worth? Who knows if they even have it? It was at first Ukraine's idea, President Zelensky selling their mineral wealth in November, perhaps too successfully, as part of a victory plan for more aid, showing reporters maps here. They claim seven percent global production of titanium. Lithium isn't mined yet, but they say they've three percent global reserves. They say they're in the top five of graphite reserves and have some actual rare earth metals. The initial framework deal doesn't specify what it covers, mentioning only relevant resource assets that will be further described in another agreement. Yet the White House has been specific about some resources. There is a foundry that processes aluminum in Ukraine. It's been damaged. It's not at its current capacity. If that is restored, it would account for America's entire imports of aluminum for an entire year. The U.S. perhaps a little too eager to take
