Domestic critical mineral supply

Securing North America's critical minerals for energy, defense & advanced technology.

New England Critical Minerals develops and sources domestic and North American supply of the rare earths, lithium, graphite and strategic minerals that power the energy transition, national security, and next-generation industry.

Our mission

Building resilient supply chains, closer to home.

The minerals behind modern batteries, magnets, semiconductors and defense systems are among the most strategically important materials in the world — yet their supply remains highly concentrated and exposed. NECM exists to help change that.

We focus on developing and connecting domestic and North American sources of critical minerals, with a home base in New England. Our work spans sourcing, project development, trading, and advisory — always oriented toward the same goal: dependable, transparent, and secure supply for the industries that cannot afford disruption.

What we do

Capabilities across the critical minerals value chain.

We work with producers, offtakers, investors and industrial partners to move strategic material from the ground to the customers who depend on it.

Supply & Offtake

Structuring reliable supply relationships and offtake arrangements that connect domestic production with the industrial and technology buyers who need it.

Project Development

Advancing critical mineral projects and processing initiatives — from early evaluation through partnership, financing pathways and execution planning.

Sourcing & Trading

Identifying, qualifying and moving strategic minerals across North American markets with a focus on transparency, provenance and dependable logistics.

Advisory

Helping industrial buyers, investors and policymakers understand critical mineral supply, reshoring strategy, and the risks and opportunities ahead.

Focus minerals

The materials that matter most.

Our attention centers on the minerals classified as strategic and critical — essential to batteries, permanent magnets, electronics and defense, and vulnerable to supply concentration.

  • LiLithiumBattery cathodes & storage
  • CGraphiteBattery anodes, refractories
  • NiNickelHigh-density batteries, alloys
  • CoCobaltBattery stability, superalloys
  • CuCopperElectrification & grid

Why New England & North America

Supply-chain security starts closer to home.

Global critical mineral supply is concentrated in a handful of jurisdictions, leaving manufacturers, defense programs and clean-energy developers exposed to disruption, price shocks and geopolitical risk.

Reshoring and near-shoring this supply is now a strategic priority across industry and government. NECM is positioned to help build that domestic capacity — grounded in New England, oriented across North America, and focused on transparent, accountable sourcing.

  • Security

    Reducing dependence on concentrated foreign supply for essential materials.

  • Resilience

    Diversified, domestic-first sourcing that withstands disruption.

  • Transparency

    Clear provenance and accountable relationships across the chain.

  • Partnership

    Working alongside producers, buyers and investors to build capacity.
