Policy Inst. recommends Title III of the DPA to fund Ucore
American Compass, which counts former USTR Lighthizer and current Under Secretary of Defense for Pollicy nominee Colby as advisors, just released a policy paper on US Critical Mineral Development (https://americancompass.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Critical-Minerals_PDF_final.pdf).
"At the refining stage, the American startup Ucore Rare Earths has developed a novel, modular approach that can increase efficiency by an order of magnitude in a facility one-third the size of older technologies. Companies at this stage of technology development, whose approaches have proven effective in the real world, could be directly funded using DPA Title III. While not intended to fund speculative technological approaches, nor to take technologies directly from scientific laboratories to production environments, Title III could be used to bolster new technologies that are proven at small scale and support startups pursuing innovative approaches to critical mineral refining and production. As with any DOD investment, such funding can and should be allocated alongside—and be matched with—private sector investment from venture capital, private equity, and other sources wherever possible.
