On this episode of the podcast, Amanda Head talks with Drew Horn, a former top U.S. official on strategic minerals and now Founder & CEO of GreenMet. The pair unpack the high-stakes race for critical minerals that power everything from smartphones to fighter jets. Horn explains how a new U.S.-Australia partnership aims to break China’s stranglehold on rare earth supply chains by tapping Australia’s world-class mining expertise.


Horn also explores how automation could revolutionize the mining sector, creating high-paying American jobs while reducing operational risks. The discussion wraps up with insights into a groundbreaking antimony production project that could immediately strengthen U.S. defense & tech manufacturing.
