[cryptobro]

The U.S. and Australia are teaming up on $3B in critical minerals projects, part of an $8.5B pipeline.

Key points:

DoD invests in a gallium refinery in WA (100 tons/year)

U.S. currently imports 100% of domestic gallium needs

China’s export restrictions on rare earths are a driving factor

Gallium is crucial for microwave circuits, LEDs, and lasers. Strategic moves like this could reshape supply chains for electronics and defense tech.
