RE:RE:2023 - 2030 DOD LITHIUM BATTERY STRATEGY...In late 2022, the Canadian government provided the Pentagon with more than 70 mining project names in Canada in a bid for grants from the U.S. military for critical minerals sites. The U.S. military is studying funding mining projects in Canada through the Defense Production Act of 1950. This will greatly benefit investment in these Canadian based projects while also attempting to further secure domestic supply.
