Rare Earths

In response to geopolitical tensions, Western nations are investing heavily to rebuild critical industrial supply chains, specifically those dominated by China. This shift implies increased procurement opportunities for contractors involved in rare earth processing and advanced manufacturing, as agencies prioritize domestic capacities and resilience.

As Lynas Rare Earths prepares for a leadership transition with CEO Amanda Lacaze stepping down, procurement implications are significant. This change could impact contract performance and the company’s ongoing projects in Southeast Asia, potentially altering Western supply chain dynamics in rare earth minerals.
