HR 5929, the Critical Minerals Supply Chain Resiliency Act, cleared House committee on April 21, 2026, and awaits floor action. The bill fast-tracks federal permitting for domestic rare earth and lithium projects under the Defense Production Act. Market data shows MP Materials at $63.38 (+31.33% in 30 days), Lithium Americas at $5.63 (+42.53% in 30 days), and Albemarle at $195.48 (+8.88% in 30 days), reflecting sector momentum ahead of this legislative catalyst.
The SECURE Minerals Act (S.3659) authorizes a Strategic Resilience Reserve for critical minerals, creating a government buyer for domestic rare earth and battery metal production. Pure-play domestic producers MP Materials and Lithium Americas are most directly positioned for government offtake, while Albemarle and SQM see secondary benefits from pricing support. The bill is early-stage (referred to committee), so no guaranteed spending exists yet.
