International Cooperation for Critical Mineral Exploration
This act aims to enhance the security of critical mineral and rare earth element supplies for the United States. It enables cooperation with other countries to better map and extract these resources, potentially impacting the price stability of products containing these minerals, such as electronics and batteries. Citizens may indirectly benefit from increased availability and potentially lower costs of certain goods.
