Ucore CEO: Samarium Most Critical Rare Earth in Western Supply Chain

Ucore Rare Metals CEO reveals samarium as most critical rare earth element in Western supply chain. Company advancing North American refining nodes to secure defense & clean energy materials.

The development of a sovereign Western rare earth supply chain directly impacts national security, clean energy transition, and technological independence. Currently, Western nations face significant vulnerability due to dependence on foreign sources for rare earth elements essential for defense systems, electric vehicles, wind turbines, and advanced electronics. Ucore's efforts to establish North American refining capabilities address critical supply chain weaknesses that could disrupt multiple industries and compromise strategic autonomy. As demand for these materials grows with the expansion of renewable energy and electric transportation, securing domestic processing capacity becomes increasingly vital for economic stability and technological leadership in the 21st century.
