Here's a scoop I published yesterday on Substack. While the U.S. is hyping a mineral deal with Ukraine, America is actually advancing rare earth mining in another part of the former Soviet Union: Central Asia.

Specifically, Kazakhstan.

white hot welcome to the purple lounge @kaufman 🔥

Why does he have a green ring around his pfp?

Followed, fwiw rare earths aren’t all that rare. It’s the refining that’s incredibly polluting and China has flooded the market for years making it pointless.
Better minds than me have said it can be spun up in short order if the need becomes critical.
