Visual Capitalist has put together a great visualization of Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke’s draft list of 35 metals and minerals deemed critical to U.S. National Security.

The list was released earlier this month, pursuant to Executive Order 13817 issued on December 20, 2017, “A Federal Strategy To Ensure Secure and Reliable Supplies of Critical Minerals,” and has kicked off a public comment period.

We were encouraged by the fact that, while stopping short of including Copper, Nickel and Zinc, the draft list specifically acknowledges the co-dependency between Gateway Metals and their Co-Products, and we remain hopeful that stakeholders will join us in making the case for incorporating Copper, Nickel and Zinc, as they unlock more than a half-dozen minerals that do make the list, into the final version.

In the meantime, check out the visualization previewed below, and catch us on Twitter, where we are re-publishing our “#ThroughTheGateway” informational campaign on Gateway Metals and their Co-Products.
