Demand for strategic and critical minerals has never been higher. Our integrated supply chain approach powers the transition to a mineral-rich global economy.

Europe currently imports 98% of its rare earth needs

We strengthen industrial resilience while driving technological and economic growth through modern mineral supply chains. Our focus on Atlantic trade serves North America and Europe and ensures the secure and efficient flow of essential minerals to key industries.

With Europe currently importing 98% of its rare earth needs, the urgency for secure, diversified mineral supply chains has never been greater.

Managing mineral extraction

Our portfolio of strategic critical minerals across North America and Europe includes:

  • Antimony

  • Anorthosite

  • Rare Earths

  • Barites / Barium

  • Sulphate

  • Lithium

  • Graphite

  • Platinum and Gold

We support reliable supply chains built for a geopolitically volatile world through strategic ownership, contract mining, and offtake agreements.

China is processing over half of all lithium,

cobalt, graphite and rare earth elements

Case study: Anorthosite

Anorthosite is a versatile and sustainable resource serving multiple use cases across industries. In e-glass production, it offers superior electrical insulation with a reduced carbon footprint, catering to the aerospace, automotive, and construction sectors' growing demand for environmentally friendly materials.

When incorporated into plastics, anorthosite enhances product performance by improving anti-block properties, UV stability, flame resistance, and toughness, providing a durable and sustainable alternative to traditional additives.

Additionally, its application in phenolic friction resins for brake systems and as a greenspar in paints increases durability and reduces volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emissions.

Beyond terrestrial applications, Lumina's anorthosite is a valuable resource for lunar studies. Its similarity to lunar highland materials enables crucial academic research and simulation, facilitating the exploration of lunar geology and the potential for in-situ resource utilization in future space missions.

Specialized mineral processing

With direct access to the Ohio River, connections to rail transportation and proximity to the Great Lakes, our mineral processing site in Jeffersonville, Indiana, U.S. strengthens mineral supply chains across North America. Our pilot facility processes anorthosite from our Greenland site, as well as magnesium oxide/hydroxide, barium sulfate, and aluminum hydroxide. We have a full-scale plant in construction which is due to be completed later in 2025, to expand into antimony as a core critical mineral, essential for U.S. national security. We provide specialized mineral processing facilities in North America and Europe, delivering customized solutions that enhance efficiency and minimize waste. Our close-to-customer approach ensures rapid adaptation to market demands, strengthening supply chain resilience.

Today, more than 50% of global processing capacity for critical minerals is concentrated in China, creating significant supply chain vulnerabilities for industries worldwide.

Lumina’s strategically located processing facilities can solve this.
