Unlocking Strategic Mineral Resources for U.S. Economic Security

Non-Partisan Support

Access to critical minerals is not a partisan issue – it is a matter of national security and economic sovereignty. Atlas Assets believes the United States must never be held hostage by the dominance of other nations over global critical mineral supply chains. By unlocking stranded deposits and partnering with allied nations, Atlas ensures U.S. industry has reliable access to these materials to accelerate domestic manufacturing, new technologies, and clean energy infrastructure.

In line with this commitment, Atlas Assets is pursuing the establishment of a U.S.-based stockpile of critical minerals to support the Department of Defense and U.S. industry, ensuring that in times of crisis the nation has access to the materials it needs for defense, energy, and technological leadership.
