About the Critical Minerals Institute (CMI)

The Critical Minerals Institute(CMI) is a global organization committed to addressing the challenges and opportunities within the critical minerals sector. CMI equips businesses, governments, and stakeholders with comprehensive resources, offering deep insights into the value, sustainability, and strategic significance of critical materials essential for technological and industrial advancement.


The Critical Minerals Institute (CMI) Mission, Vision, and Key Activities:


The Critical Minerals Institute (CMI)is a global organization dedicated to addressing the challenges and opportunities in the critical minerals sector. CMI’s mission is to equip businesses, governments, and stakeholders with comprehensive resources and insights into the value, sustainability, and strategic importance of critical materials essential for technological and industrial advancement. In practice, this means CMI serves as a central hub connecting companies, capital markets, and experts in the critical minerals industry. The institute emphasizes education, collaboration, and thought leadership: its offerings include exclusive Masterclasses and a weekly Technology Metals Report (TMR) that provide pivotal industry insights. CMI also facilitates robust networking opportunities such as conferences and summits, helping members drive innovation and build resilient supply chains in a rapidly evolving global marketplace. Through these activities, CMI strives to ensure its members are well-equipped to lead in cutting-edge technologies and to fuel industrial advancement worldwide.

  

Recent Developments and Initiatives

In recent years, CMI has launched significant initiatives to advance its vision. Research and strategic guidance are a major focus – for example, CMI maintains a “think tank” of experts who analyze global critical mineral trends and advise on solutions. One headline initiative has been the development of an official CMI Critical Minerals List. In early-2024, CMI unveiled its first-ever critical minerals list highlighting 18 minerals deemed essential for sustaining Western economic growth. This list underscored supply-chain vulnerabilities and the need for diversified sourcing. Building on that effort, CMI released an expanded Critical Minerals List 2025 identifying 23 key mineralsvital for global technology, defense, and economic resilience. Announced in April 2025, this updated list serves as a “strategic blueprint” and comes with an urgent call for international collaboration to secure fragile supply chains in the face of geopolitical concentration of these resources. CMI’s leadership has emphasized that without unified action, disruptions in the supply of these critical materials could threaten economic and national security.


Beyond research, CMI has also been growing its network and influence. The institute has attracted industry leaders to its board – for instance, adding seasoned financial strategist Kevin Ernst in late 2024 to bolster its expertise in global capital strategies. CMI’s corporate membership has expanded as well joining to collaborate on supply chain solutions. In terms of events, CMI has co-hosted or supported specialized forums – an example is the Investing in National Security Minerals event in late 2024, where CMI Co-Chair Jack Lifton and others addressed how critical minerals innovation underpins national security resilience. These initiatives reflect CMI’s active role in guiding policy discussion, forging partnerships, and raising awareness about the critical minerals needed for clean energy, advanced manufacturing, and defense.
