In a recent interview with Proactive Investors, M2i Global Board Chair Doug Cole sounded the alarm on the growing urgency for domestic solutions to critical mineral supply chains, following China’s announcement of new export restrictions.
The conversation highlights the strategic vulnerabilities faced by the United States and its allies as global competition for key minerals—such as gallium, germanium, and rare earth elements—intensifies. These materials are essential to the production of clean energy technologies, semiconductors, defense systems, and more.
“We can no longer afford to depend on geopolitical rivals for the building blocks of our economy and national security,” Cole said in the interview.
M2i Global has been leading the charge on reshoring and ethically sourcing critical materials, investing in scalable and sustainable recycling and extraction technologies through partnerships across North America. The goal: to build a resilient and transparent supply chain that supports American jobs, innovation, and energy security.
