Minerals Monitor

What this is

Minerals Monitor records government actions, company events, and trade-flow anomalies touching the rare-earth and magnet supply chain, mapped to 53 tracked entities, 21 minerals, and five supply-chain stages. Events are published nightly. Every event links to its primary source document.

Built for supply-chain and compliance teams that need to know when an export action, entity listing, or supply disruption touches a material, supplier, or country in their bill of materials — including DFARS flow-downs and NDAA §857 sourcing obligations.

No price assessments. No commentary. Unit values, where shown, are computed from public trade data and labeled as derived.

Weekly brief

A fixed-format weekly digest: government actions, company events, trade flows, tracker changes. One line per event, source-linked, no editorializing.

Double opt-in. One email per week. Unsubscribe in one click.
