On this episode of the Roundtable, the panel examined the geopolitical forces reshaping global markets, from the Iran conflict and energy security to AI infrastructure, semiconductor demand, and the growing importance of critical minerals. Special thanks to REalloys for joining the discussion and explaining how they're building a fully integrated North American rare earth supply chain to strengthen domestic manufacturing and reduce reliance on foreign sources for critical materials.

⚡ CRITICAL ELEMENTS LITHIUM CORPORATION: Powering Quebec’s Next Lithium Supply Hub | As seen on BTV - Business Television As global lithium demand accelerates, Quebec is emerging as a cornerstone of North America’s battery supply chain — and Critical Elements Lithium is positioned at the forefront. The company’s flagship Rose Lithium-Tantalum Project is one of the most advanced hard-rock lithium projects in North America. With key permits secured and detailed engineering well advanced, Rose is positioned to move quickly toward construction once a final investment decision is made. Strategically located with year-round road access and nearby connection to Hydro-Québec — one of the cleanest and lowest-cost power grids globally — the project is designed to deliver responsible, low-carbon lithium supply to EV and energy storage markets. Investor decision factors - Final investment decision to be taken on Rose once project financing is in place - Key permits secured - Access to low-carbon Hydro-Québec power - Conditional Government and institutional financing support With global lithium demand projected to grow from approximately 1.2 million tonnes to nearly 3 million tonnes by 2030, management believes new supply will be critical — and Rose is positioned to be part of that solution.

🚨 Germany just discovered 43 million tonnes of lithium—one of the largest lithium projects in the world. If Germany can turn this into production, it will be the battery capital of Europe. That matters for America too. Why? A stronger European battery supply chain means the U.S. gets help countering China’s dominance in the energy sector. And it’s not just about mining. Germany is already building refineries in Brandenburg and Saxony-Anhalt. Car giants (like BMW and Mercedes) are building gigafactories. If Germany controls both the mining and refining, it will own the entire European battery supply chain—giving the West more power against axis powers like Russia and China. Let’s GOOO!!

Rebuilding America’s Iron Supply Starts Now 🇺🇸 The global shift toward domestic supply chains is accelerating—and iron is at the center of it. North American Iron is advancing a project designed to reduce U.S. reliance on imported pig iron by reclaiming Minnesota’s historic iron ore reserves. Why it matters: • U.S. demand: ~13M tons of pig iron • Imports: ~4–5M tons annually • Domestic solution: 2M tons/year targeted production This isn’t just about strategic resources — it’s about national security, industrial capacity, and supply chain independence. With permitting underway (target: 2026) and production aimed for 2029, North American Iron is positioning itself to become the first U.S.-based merchant pig iron producer. A legacy resource. A modern critical need. A supply gap ready to be filled. Watch the full feature:
