Exposure

United States critical mineral exposure

Which scarce materials the United States depends on, who controls the supply, how long known reserves last at current production, and what a supplier cut-off would do on a simple illustration.

Shortest reserve life

Antimony: known reserves cover ~18 years at current production.

Supplier shock

Simple illustration: assumes no rerouting, stockpiles or substitution. Severe means more than 50% of listed production is in the shocked supplier and import reliance is above 70%. China and Russia sums those two countries. BRICS is Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, the UAE and Indonesia.
