DPAS directive allocation order and additional requirements for recoverable critical minerals and materials

The trace

How it reaches your house.

Starting from Molybdenum (Catalyst Metal), we walked the supply graph hop by hop to the goods you buy and the companies you own. Each step is the engine’s reasoning, scored for confidence and cited where a source backs it.

1. First impact

   Neodymium-Praseodymium (NdPr) Oxide/Metal →Shortage risk

   Rare earth magnets

   NdPr oxide/metal is a near-essential input to rare earth magnets (dependency_strength 0.98), so allocation/export controls should tighten magnet feedstock availability.

   90% confidence

   Neodymium-Praseodymium (NdPr) Oxide/Metal →Stands to benefit

   US magnet manufacturing

   The cited policy analysis says the action can improve domestic access to secondary NdPr feedstock and create a more secure supply base for US magnet manufacturing, so U.S. magnet makers are beneficiaries.

   “It could also support US-based magnet dismantling, demagnetisation, separation and rare-earth recovery, improving domestic access to secondary NdPr, Dy and Tb feedstock and creating a more secure supply base for US magnet manufacturing.”
