Ucore Rare Metals (TSX.V: UCU) (OTCQX: UURAF) was featured in a recent article that discussed its positioning as a key player in North American critical minerals security. “As the United States faces its most severe supply-chain warning yet for a key defense mineral, one project in Canada has suddenly become more strategically important than ever. The latest U.S. Geological Survey draft ranking shows samarium carrying the highest supply disruption risk among all evaluated critical minerals for 2025, a development that directly elevates the relevance of Ucore Rare Metals and its planned Ontario-based samarium-gadolinium refining facility,” the publication reads.

“Ucore Rare Metals is developing a first-of-its-kind North American processing hub dedicated to refining samarium and gadolinium oxides, part of a broader strategy to rebuild a complete, Western-controlled supply chain for critical materials used in advanced manufacturing, energy technologies and defense applications. The U.S. Geological Survey’s draft 2025 supply-risk model identifies samarium as the most at-risk mineral among the 50 materials evaluated, placing it at the highest potential for supply disruption due to heavy concentration of global production in a single country. According to the USGS, samarium ranks number one on the agency’s overall disruption index, while gadolinium also appears in the high-risk tier due to similar production and processing concentration trends.”
