As quoted in the press release:
International demand for niobium is approximately 100,000 tonnes per year, produced exclusively from mines in Brazil and one in Canada. The U.S. imports 100% of its annual consumption of approximately 10,000 tonnes, which has led the U.S. government to move toward establishing a strategic materials stockpile to protect against potential supply disruptions.
