What the U.S. (and Investors) Learned From Israel v. Iran

Iran's recent threats to close the Strait of Hormuz, a gateway for 20% of the world's oil, reminded us why the U.S. keeps up to 714M barrels in the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve.

When it comes to the critical minerals we rely on for national defense and consumer electronics, the situation is far worse. For example, China controls 80% of the global lithium supply, but the U.S. has no strategic reserves of these critical minerals.

M2i Global plans to fix that. They're shoring up the U.S.'s critical mineral supplies by rolling out a three-tiered approach – revitalizing abandoned mines, recycling reclaimed scrap metal, and forging public-private partnerships across industry, academia, and government at all levels.

The federal government is actively working with them at Nevada's Hawthorne Army Depot to launch the first phase of a U.S. Strategic Mineral Reserve. No wonder M2i is already publicly traded.

And, for a limited time, investors in this round can unlock up to 20% bonus shares as M2i scales across a $163B+ U.S. market.
