Description
Under-investment, just-in-time manufacturing and environmental pressures are some the factors that resulted in the U.S. falling behind in securing its own domestic supply of critical metals, said Duncan Wood, vice president for strategy & new initiatives at the Wilson Center. On Friday Wood recorded Kitco Roundtable with mining audiences manager Michael McCrae. Wood was lead author for the The Mosaic Approach: a Multidimensional Strategy forStrengthening America’s Critical Minerals Supply Chain. The Wilson Center, chartered by Congress in 1968 as the official memorial to President Woodrow Wilson, is an American non-partisan policy forum. In the summer of 2021, the Wilson Center convened a Critical Minerals Working Group, made up of stakeholders from industry, academia and civil society, to examine the vulnerabilities that exist in the supply chain, and to discuss how the private sector and government can address them. Finding from the group were compiled in the report.
