Crikey! The Albanese government is planning on stockpiling REEs as a potential bargaining chip (arse smooching).
“Labor announced last week that it will invest $1.2 billion in national offtake agreements and selective stockpiling to secure a strategic supply of the critical minerals that are most important to Australia’s national security and that of its key partners.”
“Lacaze said it made more business sense for Lynas to consider expanding further in Malaysia, rather than at a higher-cost plant planned in Texas. This US project is yet to gain regulatory approval despite receiving significant funding from the US Department of Defence three years ago.”
“Lynas has cut output to take advantage of the global trade war as it seeks out new buyers that want to avoid sourcing minerals from China.”
“Taking our time to get full advantage out of this crisis is our number one priority,” Lacaze said. The miner would “focus on building our competitive advantage while everything around us gets thrown up in the air like a pack of cards”.
“The last thing that we need to do is produce huge quantities of material that either finds a home in our warehouse or finds a home at a lower price elsewhere.”
No matter the outcome, an alternative supply chain for REEs may not meet US demand anytime soon.

Odd. The Australia government wants to buy a warehouse full of REEs, and the supplier doesn’t want the increased demand.
