Official says U.S. plans more stakes in minerals companies, Bloomberg reports

Jarrod Agen, executive director of the National Energy Dominance Council, said while speaking at a forum in Washington that the U.S. government plans to take more equity stakes in critical minerals companies, reported Bloomberg’s Ari Natter. “I think they’re the norm from our perspective. There is a broad scope of different companies who are coming to us. They’re making the right case,” the official is quoted as having said. Companies in the rare earth minerals space include MP Materials (MP), Energy Fuels (UUUU), USA Rare Earth (USAR), and Critical Metals (CRML) and United States Antimony (UAMY).
