On October 9, 2025, China's Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) released a series of export control announcements that significantly strengthen licensing requirements for rare earth materials—now encompassing 12 elements, including five newly added ones like holmium, erbium, thulium, europium, and ytterbium—along with magnet production technologies, superhard materials such as synthetic diamonds, and key components for high-energy lithium batteries, including artificial graphite anode materials.

Electra is a leader in advancing North America’s critical minerals supply chain for lithium-ion batteries. The Company is developing North America’s only cobalt sulfate refinery in Ontario as part of a phased strategy to onshore critical minerals refining and reduce reliance on foreign supply chains. Electra’s strategy also includes battery recycling and the advancement of its cobalt-copper project in Idaho, Iron Creek, one of the only primary cobalt deposits in the United States. Growth initiatives include integrating black mass recycling at its Ontario refining complex and evaluating opportunities for additional nickel sulfate production in North America.
