SECURE Minerals Act of 2026

The SECURE Minerals Act of 2026 establishes a Strategic Resilience Reserve Corporation to secure U.S. supply chains for critical minerals and materials essential to defense, energy, technology, and renewable energy sectors. The Reserve will provide financing and acquisition support for domestic and partner country projects focused on producing, recycling, reusing, and repurposing critical minerals, with the goal of reducing U.S. dependence on foreign sources to no more than 75% for each mineral. It authorizes $2.5 billion in funding and establishes a Board of Governors with specific expertise requirements to oversee operations, while requiring regular risk assessments and annual reporting. This legislation directly affects mineral production and processing companies, federal agencies managing mineral resources, and partner countries working with the U.S. on supply chain security.
