North American Rare Earth Supply Chain Strengthened by Greenland Deal
Transmission path
The establishment of a non-Chinese rare earth supply chain reduces long-term geopolitical risk for US defense and technology sectors, potentially benefiting companies that secure access to this new supply and disadvantaging those reliant on Chinese sources.

Extended read
A significant step has been taken to diversify the global rare earth supply chain away from Chinese dominance. REalloys has signed a 15-year offtake agreement to purchase 15% of the initial output from the Tanbreez heavy rare earth project located in Greenland. This agreement is a key component in a broader strategy to establish a secure and integrated North American rare earth supply chain, encompassing mining, separation, and metallization. The strategic importance of this initiative is underscored by the upcoming 2027 Pentagon ban on the use of Chinese-sourced rare earth materials in defense applications. By securing a long-term supply of heavy rare earths, which are critical for high-tech manufacturing in sectors like defense, electronics, and renewable energy, this deal directly addresses a major geopolitical and supply chain vulnerability for Western economies.
