Ucore Rare Metals stock jumps again as Washington’s critical-minerals push heats up — what’s next
Ucore Rare Metals closed up 4.4% at C$9.43 on the TSX Venture Exchange Friday, extending gains after the U.S. invoked Section 232 trade law on critical mineral imports. The White House cited national security risks and called for trade talks that could lead to tariffs. Ucore praised the move, highlighting domestic processing as a supply chain bottleneck. U.S. lawmakers also proposed a $2.5 billion critical-minerals stockpile bill.
