Nyrstar continued to discuss the importance of the proposed Nyrstar Clarksville Critical Minerals Project in Washington DC during a recent visit there with members of the Tennessee Chamber of Commerce.
Congressman John Rose along with other Tennessee congressional members have verbalized their support for Nyrstar’s plans to produce a domestic supply of Germanium & Gallium to the US and its allies.
The Tennessee Chamber’s delegation represented companies all across Tennessee who play a vital role in growing the state’s economy. Nyrstar holds a unique position in the State of Tennessee with two underground mining complexes and the only primary zinc smelter in the US, offering a fully integrated ‘mine to metal’ value chain.

Nyrstar Clarksville's Technology Manager, Sarah Schwarz, recently spoke about the planned Critical Minerals Project as one of the keynote speakers at the 4th annual Resilient Supply of Critical Minerals Workshop in Rolla, Missouri. The workshop is part of the University of Missouri's Science & Technology Program and is funded by the National Science Foundation.

Sarah spoke about Nyrstar's production of Zinc and our capability to produce up to 80% of the domestic supply of Germanium & Gallium which would help reduce our dependency on China for those minerals.

Which minerals are considered "critical"?

There are three agency lists (USGS, DOE, and DOD), a list set by Congress (45X Advanced Manufacturing Tax Credit), and a list set by the U.S. Trade Representative (301 Tariffs). Each list informs federal programs that drives investment in different types of critical mineral projects.

Check out the latest Bipartisan Policy Center blog to compare these lists and their methodologies.

Nyrstar’s Dan Zaluski took the stage at a recent event in the US Senate in Washington, DC. Nyrstar contributed and was invited to participate in the launch of a report on securing the US’ critical mineral supply chains. The whitepaper, developed by the Bipartisan Policy Council (BPC) in cooperation with the American Critical Minerals Association and other partners, addresses the need to further commercially derisk investments in domestic critical minerals and metals capacity. Special guest and keynote speaker at the event was US Senator John Hickenlooper, who serves on the Senate's Commerce, Energy & Natural Resources Committee.

Dan focused his remarks on the role Nyrstar can play in supplying the U.S. economy with germanium and gallium and what’s needed – from a derisking point of view – to make that happen as the market for critical minerals such as germanium and gallium is highly volatile due to geopolitical tensions, supply chain disruptions, and fluctuations in global demand.

To remain competitive in the global market, companies and governments need to secure a stable supply of critical minerals. However, no current primary production capabilities of either germanium or gallium exist in the US. Nyrstar is proposing to expand its Clarksville, TN production facility to include state-of-the-art germanium and gallium recovery and processing. The project will establish the only domestic primary production of germanium and gallium, and increase production of zinc at Nyrstar’s Clarksville Smelter, the only primary zinc refinery in the US.

Nyrstar's Global Head of Strategic Initiatives, Greg Belland, was a guest speaker on a panel about the critical minerals industry at the SelectUSA Summit recently held in Washington DC, USA. The Summit brought together government leaders, business visionaries and investors from more than 75 countries, as well as economic development organizations from every corner of the U.S.

Belland spoke about Nyrstar's operations as an international producer of critical minerals and metals and highlighted our opportunities to produce approximately 80% of the annual domestic U.S. needs of germanium and gallium. These materials, which have been in the news a lot lately, are dominated by China. Germanium and gallium are essential to the green energy transition, high tech and national security.

The SelectUSA Investment Summit is the highest-profile event dedicated to promoting foreign direct investment in the United States, with a focus on the U.S. investment environment, industry trends and creating business opportunities.
