about Amvest Terraden
Amvest Terraden is dedicated to advancing the critical materials sector, a cornerstone of modern industry and innovation.
We focus on companies exploring, developing, and mining strategic minerals essential for technologies spanning energy storage, transportation, advanced manufacturing, and national defense.
Why This Sector Matters
Critical minerals are indispensable to the global economy, enabling advancements across industries. They power electric vehicles, renewable energy systems, defense technologies, consumer electronics, and telecommunications. These materials are essential for manufacturing batteries, aerospace components, high-performance magnets, and more.
Despite their importance, the supply chain for critical minerals faces major challenges, including underinvestment in mining and exploration, geopolitical pressures, and surging global demand. Solving these issues is vital to ensuring economic resilience, technological progress, and resource security.
Amvest Terraden focuses on companies operating exclusively within the Western (non-Chinese, non-Russian) value chain, supporting the development of secure, sustainable supply chains for these essential resources.
What Are Critical Minerals?
Critical minerals serve as the foundation for today’s most vital technologies. These materials include lithium, cobalt, nickel, rare earths, manganese sulfide, natural graphite, and vanadium, as well as any minerals whose supply would be demanded by the continued changes in decarbonization technologies.
The definition of critical minerals varies slightly across nations:
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) identifies critical minerals based on their importance to the U.S. economy and potential supply disruptions.
The European Union (EU) highlights materials critical to its industrial strategy and clean energy goals.
Australia emphasizes their significance to global supply chains, particularly in renewable energy and advanced manufacturing.
These minerals are critical not only to the green economy but also to defense, telecommunications, and advanced manufacturing. Most companies involved in their production are based in Australia and Canada, though the sector’s rapid growth is likely to drive greater activity in U.S. equity markets.
Our Vision: Driving Innovation, Resilience, & Sustainable Growth
At Amvest Terraden, we are united by a commitment to the transformative power of critical minerals. We strive to bridge the gap between rising global demand and the challenges of supply, empowering industries to thrive while fortifying resilient, sustainable supply chains.
Our team is dedicated to supporting industries and technologies that rely on these essential materials, leveraging our expertise to unlock opportunities and drive innovation, security, and economic growth across the global economy.
