As acknowledged in Vision 2035: The UK Critical Minerals Strategy, critical minerals underpin the UK’s economy, technology, energy transition, industrial resilience and national security. As global markets and geopolitics become more volatile and supply chains more complex, the UK must continually refine how it identifies and manages supply risks for its material needs.
