Angola bans exports of quartz and gypsum under a 2024 policy in force January 2026
Quartz is used in semiconductor manufacturing and specialty glass, while gypsum is a primary input for wallboard and cement in construction. Angola's export ban on both materials, in force as of January 2026, restricts access for foreign buyers who had been sourcing quartz and gypsum from Angola.
Vietnam bans exports of raw iron, lead-zinc, chromite, manganese, apatite, rare earths, and deeply processed titanium
Vietnam's export ban, in force as of January 2026, covers a range of raw and semi-processed materials that feed into steel, electronics, fertilizer, and advanced manufacturing supply chains worldwide. Buyers outside Vietnam who previously sourced these materials from Vietnamese exporters must find alternative supply or use more processed forms of the materials.
Indonesia holds 760,000 metric tons of cobalt reserves in 2025
Cobalt is a critical component in lithium-ion batteries used in electric vehicles and portable electronics. Indonesia's reserves of 760,000 metric tons in 2025 position it as a country with a substantial cobalt resource that is relevant to the global battery supply chain.
Greece holds 280,000 thousand metric tons of magnesium compound reserves in 2025
Magnesium compounds are used in refractories that line high-temperature furnaces in steel and cement production, as well as in agriculture and environmental applications. Greece's reserves of 280,000 thousand metric tons in 2025 represent one of the larger national stockpiles of this industrial mineral.
Uzbekistan holds 100,000 thousand metric tons of phosphate rock reserves in 2025
Phosphate rock is the primary raw material for fertilizers that support global food production, and known reserves determine how long a country can sustain or expand its role as a supplier. Uzbekistan's reserves of 100,000 thousand metric tons recorded in 2025 place it among the countries with a significant long-term phosphate resource base.
The U.S. imports 100% of its scandium consumption in 2025
Scandium is used to strengthen aluminum alloys for aerospace and sporting goods, and in solid oxide fuel cells. With a net import reliance of 100% of apparent consumption in 2025, the United States has no domestic scandium production and must source the material entirely from other countries.
The U.S. imports 100% of its arsenic consumption in 2025
Arsenic is used in wood preservatives, semiconductors, and certain glass manufacturing processes. The United States has a net import reliance of 100% of apparent consumption in 2025, meaning no domestic arsenic is produced and the country depends entirely on foreign sources for a material embedded in several industrial supply chains.
The U.S. imports 100% of its strontium consumption in 2025
Strontium compounds are used in pyrotechnics, specialty glass for television screens, and some ferrite magnets. A net import reliance of 100% of apparent consumption in 2025 means the United States produces no strontium domestically and any disruption to foreign supply has an immediate effect on industries that use it.
South Africa mines 71% of the world's platinum in 2025
Platinum is used in catalytic converters, fuel cells, and industrial chemical processes, and has no direct substitute in many of those applications. South Africa's 71% share of world platinum production in 2025 means that events affecting South African mining operations can rapidly affect platinum availability for industries worldwide.
China supplies 75% of the world's vanadium in 2025
Vanadium is added to steel to increase strength and is used in large-scale vanadium redox flow batteries for energy storage. China's 75% share of world vanadium production in 2025 means that steelmakers and battery manufacturers in other countries are heavily dependent on a single national source.
China accounts for 87% of world silicon production in 2025
Silicon is a foundational material for electronics, solar panels, and construction materials such as silicones and sealants. With China supplying 87% of world production in 2025, manufacturers outside China that rely on silicon face limited alternative sources if supply from China is reduced.
China produces 60% of the world's fluorspar in 2025
Fluorspar is a mineral used to make hydrofluoric acid, which in turn is essential for producing refrigerants, aluminum, and semiconductors. When 60% of world fluorspar production comes from China in 2025, disruptions to Chinese output or exports have direct consequences for those downstream industries everywhere else.

Strategic new protections could link 13 Pacific deep-sea reserves into connected network
Protected areas have been set up to shield deep-sea life from the impacts of seabed mining in the Pacific Ocean. However, new research led by scientists at Plymouth Marine Laboratory (PML) and published in…
Deep-sea expedition will revisit Pacific mining site five and a half years after test
During Oct. 2026, the research vessel SONNE set sail from San Diego into the Pacific Ocean for expedition SO322. Its destination: the Clarion-Clipperton Zone north of the equator—the area that harbors the…
Earth's core may have been leaking hydrogen for billions of years
When Earth formed billions of years ago, its metallic core was wrapped in a global ocean of molten rock, which eventually cooled and crystallized to form the mantle. Today, when deep-rooted mantle plumes rise…
About 2% of natural gas supplied to a Midwest city leaks into the atmosphere
Most natural gas leakage in Indianapolis likely originates from homes and other buildings, not exterior pipelines and large-scale distribution infrastructure that deliver the fossil fuel, according to Penn…
NASA satellites observe historic 2026 El Niño
A phenomenon rarer than a solar eclipse and more powerful than any single storm system is unfolding this fall, and NASA is tracking it closely.
Rocks from hydrothermal vents can spontaneously combust, posing potential risks for deep-sea mining operations
Projects involving the mining of seafloor massive sulfide (SMS) deposits around hydrothermal vents already face criticism over their destructive nature, and now these projects may face a new concern…
High-resolution global atmospheric model erases 'popcornlike' rain
Global climate and weather forecasting use predictive models that divide Earth's atmosphere into a grid, with each section typically covering tens to hundreds of kilometers. Now a new model, run by a team at…
Snowball Earth's iron deposits may have formed through microbes living without sunlight
Iron is one of the most abundant metals on Earth's surface, yet how such massive iron ore deposits formed throughout geological history has long remained a mystery. The prevailing theory has been that ancient…
Hidden 'uranium hotspot' offers new clues to Scotland's ancient past
A hidden 'uranium hotspot' has been discovered beneath Aberdeen by University of Aberdeen researchers—shedding new light on the geological history of the region.
