Helen Amos is joined by George Heppel and Max Yerrill to discuss the rise of critical minerals as an investment theme. They explore how geopolitical tensions, supply chain security concerns, and government policy have accelerated investor interest in commodities such as rare earths, tungsten, graphite, and antimony. The team discusses the emergence of 'national champions' following recent U.S. government funding announcements, how policy support is reshaping company valuations, and why developing domestic critical minerals supply chains remains a long-term challenge. They also highlight key catalysts to watch, including U.S.-China trade relations, export restrictions, and the next wave of government support for the sector.
