From advanced fighter jets and missile guidance systems to semiconductors, battery storage, and renewable energy, Critical Minerals and Advanced Materials are indispensable to both national security and economic resilience. But the majority of these materials—especially rare earth elements and refined concentrates—are produced or controlled by geopolitical rivals. China alone dominates the refining and export of rare earths, antimony, and graphite. Russia remains a major global source for nickel, palladium, and other defense-relevant metals. For the United States and allied economies, dependence on these sources creates unacceptable strategic risk.
Entoro Critical Minerals and Advanced Materials is focused on financing the future of secure, reliable, and strategically aligned mineral supply chains—those that operate outside of China, Russia, and other adversarial jurisdictions.
Governments worldwide are reassessing the security of mineral supply chains. In the U.S., the Departments of Defense and Energy have designated more than 50 critical minerals vital to national and economic security. Among the most urgent:
Essential for flame retardants, munitions, semiconductors, and battery applications. The U.S. has no domestic mine production and is heavily reliant on China and Tajikistan.
Required for permanent magnets used in electric motors, precision-guided weapons, and advanced radar systems.
Core inputs for energy storage and electrified transport.
Used in armor-piercing rounds, aerospace alloys, and industrial cutting tools.
Vital to electronics, fuel cells, and catalytic systems.
Rare, ultra-durable metal used in satellite components, spacecraft thrusters, and deep-space systems. Supply is limited and concentrated in South Africa.
Critical for compound semiconductors in AI, radar, 5G, and solar. Nearly all supply comes from China as a byproduct of bauxite refining.
A two-dimensional carbon material with exceptional strength and conductivity. Used in defense coatings, flexible electronics, batteries, and directed-energy systems. Scalable production remains a strategic challenge.
Includes carbon nanotubes, fibers, and aerogels—critical to aerospace, armor, and nanoelectronics. These materials reduce weight and boost performance, but supply is limited and geopolitically sensitive.
Entoro’s platform includes financing and advisory for advanced materials. These engineered substances are essential to the future of construction, aerospace, and computing. While often derived from traditional minerals, they require sophisticated processing and play a pivotal role in modern industrial strategy.
Advanced construction materials such as carbon fiber reinforcements, geopolymer cements, and nanocomposite insulations are transforming structural integrity, energy efficiency, and sustainability. These rely on inputs like silica, alumina, manganese, and engineered carbon forms. As demand for climate-resilient and defense-grade infrastructure rises, secure supply of these inputs is essential.
Space-grade materials must withstand extreme radiation, temperature shifts, and mechanical stress. Titanium, beryllium, iridium, and carbon composites are vital to satellites, propulsion systems, and protective shielding. Entoro supports the development of these inputs across secure jurisdictions, aligning with allied space strategy and aerospace resilience.
Artificial intelligence and high-performance computing depend on materials with exceptional electronic and thermal properties. Gallium, germanium, graphite, and advanced carbon materials such as graphene and nanotubes enable chip manufacturing, energy storage, and data center thermal management. These materials are foundational to AI infrastructure and digital competitiveness.

Entoro Critical Minerals and Advanced Materials exists to accelerate the development of critical mineral projects across jurisdictions that are aligned with U.S. and allied interests. We work with operators, processors, and governments in the Americas, Australia, parts of Africa, and other trusted geographies to build supply chains that are independent of adversarial control.
Entoro Critical Minerals and Advanced Materials operates as a specialized extension of Entoro’s broader commodities platform. In parallel, Entoro Commodities, a registered Commodity Pool Operator (CPO), supports hedge fund strategies and capital formation across non-standard and illiquid commodity classes. Together, the two business lines create a vertically aligned offering—linking upstream critical mineral project financing with downstream market access, trading strategy, and institutional capital flows.
