The Pentagon has invested $150 million in Atlantic Alumina to bolster U.S. defense material supply chains and reduce reliance on Chinese gallium, which is expected to dominate 99% of the market by 2025. Additionally, Pinnacle will contribute $300 million to Atalco, which plans to produce over 1 million tons of alumina and 50 tons of gallium annually. The U.S. government is also set to invest $7.4 billion in a gallium processing plant by Korea Zinc as part of a broader strategy to enhance critical mineral resources.
