Canada Unveils $4.6 Billion Project to Secure Critical Minerals Supply Chain

Canada has launched a $4.6 billion project under the G7 Critical Minerals Production Alliance, combining supply contracts, price stability mechanisms, strategic stockpiling, and co-investment tools to accelerate mining and processing projects. The alliance aims to reduce market concentration, safeguard national security, and mobilize capital for sustainable critical minerals projects. Graphite is a key position in this alliance, with select developers like Nouveau Monde Graphite (NYSE: NMG) (TSX: NOU) moving quickly toward execution with strategic commercial agreements, including a binding supply and marketing deal with the Government of Canada.
