At this stage, geological uncertainty has been largely addressed, infrastructure is complete, pathways to production are defined and capital is aligned with execution. Historically, this combination has created the conditions for substantial valuation expansion. Adequate funding becomes critical during this transition, enabling companies to move beyond planning and…

Massive Lithium Deposits Discovered in Oregon

Lithium is a lightweight and highly efficient mineral with the ability to store energy for a significant amount of time. This explains why it remains in constant demand and why many consumers and industries favor lithium-ion batteries. Now, a recent study determined that the McDermitt Caldera may be home to one of the biggest deposits of lithium in the world. This ancient volcanic depression is in Oregon and is said to host other mineral deposits, among them, uranium and mercury. The lithium deposit is valued at roughly $1.5 trillion, with geologists estimating that it contains between 20 and 40 million metric tons of the mineral.

Expected Cobalt Deficit Threatens Supply Outlook in 2026

In early 2025, the Democratic Republic of Congo suspended cobalt exports in an effort to influence global prices and shift to a quota system. The country is the biggest producer of the metal, supplying over 70% of the world. Between 2026-2027, the country expects to export a total of 96,600 tons of the metal annually. While this shift toward a resource-nationalist strategy is a positive for the country, it does also impose significant new structural limits on the global cobalt supply chain. By capping annual exports at 87,000 tons through 2027 and diverting 9,600 tons per year into a strategic stockpile, the government is moving beyond routine regulatory intervention. These actions signal a broader transition away from…
