Pentagon Invests $150 Million in US Gallium Company

The US Department of Defense has taken an equity stake in Atlantic Alumina Co (a US-based producer) with a $150 million investment, aimed at securing domestic supply of gallium a critical metal used in semiconductors, radar, 5G, and defense electronics.

China currently controls 98.7% of global gallium production (2024 data).

Gallium is on the US critical minerals list vital for military tech (e.g., GaN chips in F-35 radars, missile systems).

This is part of a broader push to reduce dependence on Chinese supply chains amid rising tensions.

The move follows similar DoD investments in rare earths, lithium, and other strategic materials signaling Washington is serious about onshoring critical inputs for national security.

CRITICAL MINERALS CHEAT SHEET

The next phase of industrial policy, electrification, AI infra & defense spending is defined by input constraints with these companies sitting at the key supply-chain choke points:

Rare Earth Elements
• $MP controls the only scaled rare earth mining & processing asset in the U.S.
• $USAR building a domestic rare earth magnet supply chain to reduce reliance on China
• $IDR focuses on U.S.-based rare earth & strategic mineral development tied to national security needs

Copper
• $FCX largest publicly traded copper supplier to global infrastructure
• $IE targets high-grade copper discoveries using proprietary geophysical technology to shorten development timelines

Lithium
• $ALB largest global lithium supplier
• $LAC anchors U.S. lithium supply through domestic projects

Antimony
• $UAMY one of the only domestic antimony suppliers
• $NVA provides antimony exposure alongside gold through U.S.-based projects

Multi-Resource & Strategic Supply
• $CRML targets rare earths & defense-critical resources
• $TMC focuses on battery metals sourced from polymetallic nodules as an alternative to land-based mining
• $NB targets niobium, scandium & titanium

Graphite
• $NVX supplies synthetic graphite tied to North American battery manufacturing
• $NMG develops vertically integrated graphite production outside China
• $WWR targets U.S. graphite processing for EV supply chains

PRESIDENT TRUMP:

“When the market goes up, the Fed should lower interest rates.”

Fed Chair Powell “kills every rally,” Trump adds.

You do not own enough assets.

Bitcoin just broke $94,000 and it’s up $2700 after the CPI came in at 2.7% as expected.

$72 million worth of shorts were liquidated.

U.S. Supreme Court is expected to rule on the legality of President Trump's tariffs in the next 24 hours.

If struck down, the Trump administration would have to return all tariffs collected to U.S. importers.

I spent today doing a deep dive into the billionaire "Freedom City" project in Greenland and it's going to shock you what I've uncovered so far.

The city is envisioned as a low-regulation, techno-libertarian hub backed by figures like Peter Thiel (via Praxis), Marc Andreessen, Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, and Sam Altman.

This project is an AI-driven data center project with aims to capture rare earth mining in Greenland. While exact details on land purchases for the city itself remain undisclosed in public sources, the initiatives are concentrated in southern Greenland, where the island's primary rare earth mineral deposits are located.

This includes sites like Kvanefjeld (also known as Kuannersuit) in the Kujalleq municipality, one of the world's largest untapped rare earth and uranium deposits.

Now here's where things start getting really crazy...

Fusion reactors like Helion can power the entire energy requirement of the United States for 1 year using only 1 ton of Helium-3.

Since Helium-3 is insanely rare on Earth (150x the value of gold) how do you power these reactors? The Moon.

The Moon's surface is bombarded by solar radiation, producing vast quantities of Helium-3. So much so that it's estimated the Moon's surface holds at least 3 million tons of Helium-3.

This is enough to power the entirety of Earth for 100,000 years and conduct interstellar travel.

Space mining isn't about bringing minerals back to Earth, it's about Helium-3.

That's my last post for now regarding Greenland & fusion.

Hopefully it demonstrates while the billionaires appear to acting independently, they're actually working together.

Given the amount of money they're putting into this, it's clear we're entering Technofeudalist era.
