The United States has expanded its official list of critical minerals to include copper, silver, and uranium, signaling an intensified focus by the Trump administration on domestic resource security and supply chain independence.

First reported here in August; The updated and finalized U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) list now totals 60 materials, adding ten new entries such as metallurgical coal, potash, silicon, rhenium, and lead. The list, which also retains 15 rare earth elements, guides federal policy for mining investments, tax incentives, and potential trade restrictions under ongoing Section 232 investigations into processed critical minerals and derivative products.
