ACMA is pleased to see the Senate Energy & Natural Resources Committee’s advancement of the Critical Minerals Security Act, a meaningful step toward strengthening U.S. mineral security. 🔥 The bill directs a global assessment of the world’s mineral resources and requires a comprehensive strategy to expand the mining and processing of minerals essential to U.S. economic and defense needs. We’re grateful for Senator @JohnCornyn’s leadership on this effort, and we appreciate Senators @MarkWarner and @SenToddYoung for their early support in moving this bipartisan priority forward.

The Magnets Value Chain Support Act of 2026 was formally introduced yesterday in Congress — a landmark step toward strengthening every link in the U.S. magnets value chain. 🧲 The legislation establishes a comprehensive tax credit architecture spanning rare earth oxide production, magnet metal metallization, permanent magnet manufacturing, and downstream motor manufacturing, all reinforced by robust FEOC guardrails and a defense production capacity reserve. We’re grateful for the opportunity to work closely with Hill champions and staff throughout the development of this legislation. And we extend our thanks to Chairman @RepMoolenaar and Ranking Member @RepRoKhanna for their leadership on this critical effort. 🔗 Read the full press release: chinaselectcommittee.house.g…

HUGE win for U.S. mineral security! The DOMINANCE Act is a major boost for America’s mineral supply chain and a real move toward breaking China’s grip on the market. Huge thanks to @RepYoungKim for pushing it through the House 🔥

ACMA is celebrating today’s House passage of the DOMINANCE Act — a strong step toward advancing America’s mineral security and deepening coordination with our allies. By codifying MSP, authorizing Energy Security Pacts, and expanding mining and critical minerals education, the DOMINANCE Act advances long‑term energy security, diversifies global markets, reduces geopolitical risk, and supports responsible private‑sector investment and workforce development. We thank @RepYoungKim for her leadership on this issue, and Representatives @RepBera, @RepMoolenaar, and @RobWittman for their strong co‑sponsorship. We’re also grateful to all Members on both sides of the aisle who helped advance this legislation through committee and final passage. The DOMINANCE Act remains a critical component of the policy framework needed to reduce reliance on foreign adversaries and expand America’s domestic minerals future.

Today, the House has an opportunity to strengthen America’s mineral security. 💪 ACMA urges Members to pass the DOMINANCE Act — a bipartisan strategy that deepens coordination with allies while complementing ongoing efforts to expand responsible domestic mining. For districts where mining drives jobs and local economies, DOMINANCE reinforces your work: it builds stable global markets, reduces China‑driven volatility, and creates clearer pathways for U.S. projects and workers to succeed. It’s time to advance a secure, competitive, and American‑led minerals future.

America’s leadership in critical minerals starts with our students and our universities. The Mining Schools Act expands opportunities for the next generation of engineers and skilled workers who will secure our supply chains and strengthen our national security. I’m grateful for @ACMAssociation’s support as we work to build that workforce and keep America competitive.

Mineral security is national security. Very grateful for @ACMAssociation's endorsement of the Mining Schools Act!

ACMA commends @RepBurgessOwens, @RepJimCosta, @SenJohnBarrasso & @SenatorHick for advancing the Mining Schools Act, a major step toward strengthening America’s mining and minerals workforce. A resilient U.S. supply chain starts with a strong talent pipeline. 🔗 Full press release: critical-minerals.us/news-an…

Yesterday, the DOMINANCE Act was marked up in the House Committee on Foreign Affairs. The bill would codify FORGE and authorize Energy Security Pacts — giving the U.S. the tools to counter the CCP's stranglehold on critical mineral and energy supply chains through aligned foreign policy and global partnerships. SAFE & @ClearPathAction led a coalition of 16 orgs urging the committee to pass the bill: "Failure to align U.S. foreign policy strategies to build durable global partnerships would be a strategic mistake...Passing this bill would represent significant progress toward securing critical mineral supply chains and advancing American energy dominance." - @EnergyforGrowth, @ConservAmerica, @BPC_Bipartisan, C3 Solutions Action, @ACCFmedia, @ACCAction, @TheCLCouncil, @FDDAction, @TheBTI, @FAIAction, @ThirdWayTweet, @AELIAction, @CRESenergy, @ACMAssociation

ACMA applauds today's passage of the DOMINANCE Act in the House Foreign Affairs Committee - an important step toward strengthening U.S. and allied coordination in the face of China’s overwhelming control of global critical mineral and strategic energy supply chains. By codifying FORGE, authorizing Energy Security Pacts, and expanding mining and critical minerals education, this legislation advances long‑term energy security, diversifies global markets, reduces geopolitical risk, and supports responsible private‑sector investment and workforce development. The DOMINANCE Act remains a critical component of the policy framework needed to reduce reliance on foreign adversaries for the materials that power America’s energy and national security future. ACMA strongly supports deepening partnerships with like‑minded nations and expanding the domestic critical minerals sector, and we look forward to continued progress as this legislation moves through Congress.

ACMA was proud to join leaders across energy, industry, and national security at #SAFESummit2026! The Summit’s focus on rebuilding the industrial base, securing critical supply chains, and advancing energy abundance aligns directly with ACMA’s mission. Great conversations, strong partnerships, and real momentum. We’re looking forward to continued collaboration to advance energy-security solutions that strengthen the economic and national security interests of the U.S. Thank you to @Securing_Energy for convening such an impactful event!

ACMA applauds the bipartisan introduction of the Energy Security Pacts Act by Senators @ChrisCoons and @SenatorRicketts. This legislation advances the diversification of global critical minerals markets by creating a mechanism that will establish and grow partnerships with our allies, while still prioritizing opportunities for the expansion of the domestic critical minerals sector. We look forward to working with the Senators as they advance this legislation, an essential piece of the comprehensive policy solutions we need to reduce our reliance on foreign adversaries for these essential inputs to our economy and national security.

The bipartisan momentum behind the SECURE Minerals Act is continuing to grow. ACMA is proud to stand with Senators @SenatorShaheen and @SenToddYoung, and the expanding coalition of lawmakers who understand what’s at stake. China controls roughly 90 percent of rare earth processing. That’s not a supply chain vulnerability. That’s a national security exposure. The SECURE Minerals Act takes a serious, structural approach to fixing it. By establishing a Strategic Resilience Reserve through an independent government corporation, this legislation would stabilize prices, expand domestic and allied production, and reduce our dependence on a strategic competitor for the materials that power our economy and our military. We welcome every new cosponsor to this fight. Senators @SenAngusKing, @TimSheehyMT, @SenatorSlotkin, @SenTimKaine, @JimJustice_WV, and @SenMcCormickPA, along with Representatives @RepPatHarrigan and @RepShreve, are showing exactly the kind of leadership this moment demands. Securing an independent U.S. critical minerals supply chain is not a partisan issue. It is an American one.

The @IEA's new Rare Earth Elements report is clear: rare earth supply chains are increasingly central to economic & national security. Highly concentrated processing and magnet production remain key vulnerabilities—demanding action across the full value chain. #CriticalMinerals #Magnets 🔗Read the full report here: iea.org/reports/rare-earth-e…

ACMA had a great time last week at @CERAWeek in Houston, TX! The conversations throughout the week underscored a powerful reality: minerals now sit at the center of global energy strategy. As convergence and competition reshape markets, strain alliances, and fracture long‑standing supply chains, strengthening the U.S. minerals sector is essential to securing America’s energy future and economic resilience. Thank you to @SPGlobal and to everyone we connected with throughout the week — ACMA looks forward to continuing these conversations and working together to help shape the path ahead. #CERAWeek2026

ACMA welcomes the growing bipartisan momentum behind the SECURE Minerals Act, strengthened by the recent addition of new sponsors @SenAngusKing, @TimSheehyMT, @SenatorSlotkin, @SenTimKaine, @JimJustice_WV,  @SenMcCormickPA, @RepPatHarrigan and @RepShreve.  We applaud their leadership in advancing policies that bolster domestic production, separation, and processing of critical minerals. This expanding coalition reflects a shared understanding that securing an independent U.S. critical minerals supply chain is essential to America’s long‑term competitiveness, resilience, and national security — priorities all Americans stand to benefit from.

Last week, ACMA had the pleasure of hosting @EXIMBankUS President & Chairman @JJovanovicUSA for a dynamic conversation on Project Vault and what it means for U.S. mineral independence, supply chain resilience, and domestic processing. From strengthening market transparency to supporting OEM demand signals, Project Vault represents a major step toward a more secure and competitive U.S. critical minerals ecosystem.
