AKEMF - North America's Mineral Supply Chain Just Got a Boost, and So Did This Microcap
2025-07-23 11:40:00 ET
As governments and manufacturers work to secure reliable, domestic sources of battery materials, new alliances are forming to streamline the North American supply chain. With geopolitical pressures mounting and demand for electric vehicles rising, partnerships that connect miners, refiners, and automakers are emerging as key drivers of the next generation of energy infrastructure.
One notable initiative is the newly launched Minerals for National Automotive Competitiveness Collaboration (MINAC), a coalition of industry players focused on advancing U.S.-sourced minerals for automotive use. Founding members include RecycLiCo Battery Materials Inc. (TSX-V: AMY) (OTCQB: AMYZF) , Lucid Motors (NASDAQ: LCID) , Alaska Energy Metals (TSX-V: AEMC) (OTCQB: AKEMF) , Graphite One (TSX-V: GPH) (OTCQX: GPHOF) , and Electric Metals (TSX-V: EML) (OTCQB: EMUSF) .
The group will work to accelerate offtake agreements, promote qualification of domestically produced materials by automakers and Tier 1 suppliers, and improve coordination between the mining and automotive sectors. For RecycLiCo, a battery materials recycling and refining company, MINAC provides an opportunity to validate and scale its proprietary hydrometallurgical process, which can recover high-purity lithium, cobalt, nickel, and manganese from both mined ore and spent batteries.
RecycLiCo CEO Richard Sadowsky called the partnership a direct response to changing global trade dynamics and the need for efficient, localized material sourcing. “This collaboration with Lucid and our other MINAC partners will help us validate and scale our technology and work closely with industry leaders,” he said.
To mark the initiative’s launch, Sadowsky will participate in a policy roundtable in Washington, D.C. on July 23, alongside Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs, Alaska Senator Dan Sullivan, and Representatives Nick Begich (AK) and Andy Biggs (AZ). Their presence underscores the growing political momentum behind reshoring critical mineral supply chains.
RecycLiCo’s platform supports both sustainability and supply chain resilience by offering a circular alternative to traditional mining. With MINAC’s support, the company is well-positioned to play a role in reshaping how battery materials are sourced and processed in North America. As governments and industries push for cleaner, more secure energy futures, collaborations like this are likely to become a defining feature of the sector.
Canadian shares of AMY are booming 50% at C$0.075 in early morning trading Wednesday, while U.S.-listed shares of AMYZF are soaring 57.6% at $0.052.
