At the 2026 G7 Leaders’ Summit in Évian, France, the Government of Canada announced that the Ucore-Sumitomo Corporation collaboration is a critical minerals partnership supporting rare earth supply for magnet makers across Japan and North America.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The partnership aims to diversify supply chains and reduce market concentration by supporting rare earth feedstock sourcing for Ucore’s Louisiana Strategic Metals Complex. This follows Ucore’s strategic cooperation framework with Sumitomo Corporation of Americas to develop separated rare earth products for advanced materials applications.
