CAS: 111

Typical Grade0.80

Lithium is a nationalized strategic mineral under Mexican federal law (Decreto de Reforma Constitucional, 2023) and is exclusively managed by LitioMx. Lithium is not offered for sale by Corporativo Comercial Minero Vazal. All products listed are non-lithium rare earth elements extracted under valid concession.

Why Source Rare Earth Minerals from Mexico? The Vazal Advantage

Geographic Advantage

Mexico's proximity to US manufacturing centers means 2–5 day delivery vs. 30–45 days from China. USMCA tariff benefits eliminate friction.

Supply Chain Resilience

Non-Chinese origin reduces single-source dependency risk flagged by the IEA and US DOE Critical Minerals List.

Regulatory Traceability

Full Mexican permitting trail with SEMARNAT MIA on file and auditable origin documentation for every shipment.

Community-Integrated Operations

Ejido partnership model with local employment and social license reduces operational disruption risk.

Water-Responsible Extraction

CONAGUA-compliant water use in the high-stress SLP basin with closed-loop water system commitment.

Granted Concession

One of few active REE concessions issued post-2023 reform — supply certainty competitors cannot match.

Rare Earth Mineral Origin: San Luis Potosí, Mexico

The San Luis Potosí region of central Mexico hosts significant rare earth element mineralization associated with alkaline intrusive complexes. The Vazal concession area encompasses documented occurrences of light and heavy rare earth elements within a geologically favorable setting.

The project area is situated in the Sierra Madre Oriental geological province, where REE-bearing minerals occur in association with carbonatite and alkaline intrusive bodies. Field sampling and preliminary geological surveys have confirmed the presence of REE-bearing minerals across the concession area.

No mineral resource estimate compliant with NI 43-101, JORC, or equivalent standard has been completed. All geological assertions are based on preliminary field sampling and are preliminary in nature.

Critical Minerals & the Case for North American REE Supply

China currently controls approximately 60% of global rare earth mining and over 85% of rare earth processing, creating significant supply chain concentration risk for manufacturers in North America and Europe.

Mexico's rare earth elements are designated as critical minerals by both the U.S. Department of Energy and Natural Resources Canada (NRCan). Under the USMCA trade agreement, Mexico-sourced REEs qualify for preferential tariff treatment, making them cost-competitive with Asian alternatives while eliminating supply chain disruption risk.

The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) further incentivizes North American critical mineral sourcing for EV battery supply chains. REEs extracted from Mexico and processed within the USMCA zone qualify for IRA-linked procurement incentives.

Global REE demand is projected to grow 3–7x by 2040, driven primarily by electric vehicle motors, wind turbine generators, and defense applications. Securing diversified supply now positions manufacturers ahead of accelerating demand.

Vazal provides a verified, USMCA-eligible REE supply chain from San Luis Potosí, Mexico — delivering non-Chinese origin, regulatory traceability, and 2–5 day logistics to US and Canadian manufacturers.
