Critical minerals across the continent: where the resources are

Batteries, defense systems, grid equipment and electronics all depend on minerals that governments now treat as strategic. North America holds many of them, spread across all of its regions, from the Arctic to Mexico's mining belts.

A continental resource base

No single country in North America produces every mineral modern industry needs, but together the continent covers a great deal of the list. Policies differ: each government sets its own critical minerals list, investment rules and permitting process.

Understanding where resources sit, and which rules apply to them, is the first step for investors, processors and buyers.
