SUA finanțează un proiect de pământuri rare în Madagascar pentru a reduce dependența de China

The U.S. supports the Ampasindava rare earth project in Madagascar to reduce reliance on Chinese-controlled mineral supply chains. The project, valued at $150 million, aims to produce significant amounts of rare earth oxides essential for defense applications. Harena Rare Earths is seeking an exploitation permit and plans to start production by mid-2028, exploring processing options in the U.S. and Europe. The U.S. International Development Finance Corporation has allocated funds for initial work, potentially leading to further support.
