MARKET FORCES
Magnesium is considered as one of the 35
strategic/critical minerals for the US economic
and national security with an Executive order
to stockpile.
US has announced the Energy Resource
Governance Initiative (ERGI) in 2019 to
support initiatives with member countries to
develop strategic minerals projects.
The North American magnesium compounds
markets are highly dependent on imports,
which represent over 50% of the demand
(USGS, 2017).
US production of caustic and refractory
magnesia is declining, and consequently
imports are expected to be on the rise.
