President Trump launched a project to amass a $12 billion stockpile of critical and rare-earth minerals, dubbed Project Vault, to slash U.S. reliance on Chinese materials and curb Beijing's leverage in trade talks. The stockpile will be funded by a $10 billion loan from the U.S. Export-Import Bank and nearly $2 billion in private capital, with minerals procured and stored for automakers, the defense industry, tech firms, and other manufacturers. China currently controls between 60% and 70% of the rare-earth market, which provides foundational materials for modern technology ranging from batteries to MRI machines to F-35 fighter jets. The U.S. was entirely reliant on imports for 12 critical minerals in 2024 and imported 50% or more of 29 others, according to the White House. | Gloucester Boating Tragedy Claims Seven The U.S. Coast Guard on Monday identified all seven victims who died when the commercial fishing vessel Lily Jean sank without a mayday call off Gloucester, Massachusetts, launching a formal investigation into one of the deadliest fishing accidents in the state's recent history. The 72-foot vessel issued an automated distress beacon about 25 miles off Cape Ann on Friday, but searchers found only a debris field, one body, and an empty life raft. The Coast Guard has opened a formal investigation into the sinking. Those lost included Captain Accursio "Gus" Sanfilippo, a fifth-generation fisherman featured on History Channel's Nor'Easter Men, beloved in Gloucester's tight-knit fishing community. Mayor Paul Lundberg announced the victims' names would be added to a city memorial honoring thousands of fishermen lost at sea. | List: Most Reliable Car Brands of 2026 Here's the 2026 list of the most reliable car brands according to Consumer Reports, with Japanese automakers dominating the rankings by claiming six of the top seven spots. Toyota leads with a score of 66, followed closely by Subaru and Lexus, with all three manufacturers known for conservative engineering, long model cycles, and proven technology. Tesla recorded the biggest improvement in the rankings, climbing eight spots to ninth place thanks to stronger reliability scores for the Model 3 and Model Y after years of incremental design refinements.

NASDAQ Ticker FASF Reserved: Final Days to Invest in Coal's 'Rockefeller Moment' at $7.38/share In the 1800s, John D. Rockefeller started refining oil into the world's most valuable fuel. Now, another innovator is creating its own "Rockefeller Moment" with one of the world's most abundant energy resources: coal. This is more important than ever right now, because a perfect storm of operational breakthroughs and policy shifts has the potential to directly impact this company's valuation. That means you don't have much longer to invest in Frontieras at $7.38/share. What's creating this "Rockefeller Moment" for coal? Using their patented FASForm technology, Frontieras can transform coal into high-value commodities like hydrogen, diesel, jet fuel, and fertilizer, without burning it. They're targeting a combined $2.1 trillion in markets where demand for these commodities is virtually unlimited. Reaching just 2% of the global coal market could mean a trillion-dollar valuation for Frontieras. That's why the "smart money" is already moving. Frontieras has secured a $150 million investment commitment from GEM and raised over $10 million from private investors. But here's why 2026 is shaping up to be such a historic year for this company: -
NASDAQ ticker reserved: Frontieras has officially reserved the "FASF" ticker on the NASDAQ, a major step toward a public listing. -
The "Big Beautiful Bill": Under a White House that favors domestic energy, Frontieras is positioned for rapid scale. -
Real-World Infrastructure: Frontieras just completed the land purchase for their $850M flagship facility in Mason County, West Virginia. Invest at $7.38/share before the window closes on Feb. 12, 2026. | |  | | ➤ Justin Rose beat Tiger Woods' scoring record at Torrey Pines by two strokes this weekend to win the PGA Tour's Farmers Insurance Open.

From hydrogen to diesel, fertilizer, and more, Frontieras has the potential to address $2.1T worth of markets. It's similar to when John D. Rockefeller commercialized oil refining technology. If Frontieras captures just 2% of the global coal market, they have a roadmap to achieve a $1T valuation. They just completed the land purchase for their $850M flagship facility.
