How it reaches your house.
Starting from ARES Strategic Mining Inc., 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.
First impact
Rare-earth elements (NdPr) →supply upNdPr is a critical input to rare earth magnets, so added NdPr supply should eventually make magnets more available.
95% confidenceRare-earth elements (NdPr) →supply upThe announcement is aimed at expanding U.S. mining capacity, so NdPr supply sourced from the United States should increase as projects ramp.
84% confidenceMP Materials Corp. →supply upNeodymium-Praseodymium (NdPr) Oxide/Metal
MP Materials relies on NdPr oxide/metal as a core rare-earth feedstock, and new U.S. mining investment should expand domestic NdPr availability.
Hop 2
Neodymium-Praseodymium (NdPr) Oxide/Metal →supply upNdPr is a critical upstream input to rare earth magnets, so more NdPr supply should make magnet output more available.
94% confidenceRare earth magnets →supply upNeodymium-Praseodymium (NdPr) Oxide/Metal
The announced mining investment should raise future NdPr oxide/metal availability, the dominant feedstock for rare-earth magnet production.
90% confidenceFluorspar (Acid Grade) →supply upFrozen foods has a 0.9 dependency strength on acid-grade fluorspar in the graph, so added US supply should ease the constraint and improve availability.
Hop 3
Terbium (Tb) Metal →supply upTerbium metal is a critical input to rare earth magnets, so any added Tb supply from new mining investment should directly ease a bottleneck and increase magnet availability.
88% confidenceJ-M Reef PGM Ore — Montana, USA (Sibanye-Stillwater) →supply upBecause this node is 100% tied to the United States, new mining investment that expands US critical-mineral supply would fully flow into the US supply base here.
86% confidenceChina →supply upChina accounts for 98% of gallium supply, so a U.S. investment wave aimed at expanding critical-mineral output can materially loosen this supply constraint.
Hop 4
Brushless DC (BLDC) Electric Motors →supply upBLDC motors are a critical input to home appliances, so improved motor supply should raise appliance availability.
90% confidenceBrushless DC (BLDC) Electric Motors →supply upThese appliances are motor-intensive, so easier BLDC motor sourcing should increase their supply.
87% confidenceBrushless DC (BLDC) Electric Motors →supply upBLDC motors are a key constraint for tool output, so more motor supply should raise availability.
