Supporting worldwide trade of critical metals since 1973
About us
The MMTA is the largest international trade association to cover the full spectrum of Minor Metals, Ferroalloys and Rare Earths. Founded in 1973, the MMTA has members in more than 25 countries across the globe engaged in the minor metals industry and trade. Many of these metals and minerals are critical raw materials. They underpin key modern and emerging technologies and energy transition. Among the group of around 50 elements plus their compounds that MMTA members produce, recycle or trade are metals as diverse as gallium, lithium, zirconium, hafnium, strontium and rhenium – as well as all the traditional by-product metals such as cobalt, molybdenum, tungsten, or indium.

#Ukraine has agreed a framework #minerals deal with the #US, after the Trump administration rowed back on the initial demand for £500bn of future revenue from rights to half of UKraine's mineral resources. The deal is expected to be finalised on Friday when the Ukrainian president visits the US. The new framework is understood to include a mutual fund to which Ukraine will contribute 50% from future profits of mineral exploitation and which would invest in the Ukrainian industry. The country is expected to push for US security guarantees. #CriticalMinerals #mining https://lnkd.in/eqT-d26S

Helpful insight here from the Benchmark Mineral Intelligence's Adam Webb and BBC News on stalled US negotiations over #Ukraine's #criticalminerals
⛏️ Ukraine and critical minerals A really excellent appearance from Benchmark’s Adam Webb on BBC News last night, in their coverage of Ukraine's mineral reserves and the proposed deal between the country and the US. Ukraine is rich in raw materials, with estimates suggesting its mineral resources are worth more than $11 trillion - this includes #graphite, #lithium, titanium, zirconium and #rareearths. While Ukraine’s mineral potential is huge, as any and every mining focused country knows: the gulf between resources and economic reserves is significant. Minerals in the ground rarely turn into money for a country quickly. Critical minerals are the foundation for economic growth and supply chain dominance for future facing industries. But they are not nation-makers like oil and gas. Despite back and forth between world leaders, the challenge of extracting Ukraine's raw materials is vast. Credit: BBC News

It was a privilege to again represent the Minor Metals Trade Association at the APPG on Critical Minerals with a specific focus on finance. Given the challenges I experienced first hand last year with the UK banking sector it was good to hear different views, experiences and options for businesses in the mineral and metal sector. However, not enough action is taking place in the UK. There has been much input, cost, talk and goodwill but UK businesses struggle to compete on a global platform with: ⚡️High energy costs 💪High employment costs 💷High finance costs 📋Prohibitive legislation Etc… When can positive steps be taken to break down these barriers and truly support a Critical Mineral Strategy? Whether you agree with his politics or not, Trump is making a difference, in 3 weeks…! Why can’t we take decisive action to support UK businesses? Thank you as always to Jeff Townsend and the Critical Minerals Association (UK) for bringing so many key people together.

What do the new #US #tariffs introduced by President Trump's administration mean for #steel and #aluminium? Join the CRU #webinar at on Tuesday 18th November, 2pm GMT: https://lnkd.in/eeKKZxdp to hear how the return of Section 232 tariffs will affect the US market and the country's trading partners. Also read the insight here
The EU is bracing for potential US tariffs, with reports suggesting it could be Trump’s next trade target. If history repeats itself—as seen with #Canada and #Mexico—this could trigger a cycle of announcements, negotiations, and retaliations before a final settlement is reached. With the EU preparing countermeasures, uncertainty looms over global trade, metal demand, and industrial production. In this insight, CRU’s analysts, Matt Watkins and James Campbell, explore the potential impact on manufacturing and commodities. Read the full analysis here. https://ow.ly/qSXu50UWLiU CRU is closely tracking developments and will adjust forecasts as the situation unfolds. Stay ahead with our latest insights. #US #Tariffs #EU #TrumpTariffs
