Australia, India, Japan, and the United States set out a framework to mobilize public and private capital across mining, processing, and recycling.

The Quad partners published a critical minerals framework focused on secure, diversified supply chains for advanced technologies and industrial resilience.

The framework says the partners intend to mobilize up to USD 20 billion through government and private-sector support, including project finance, export credit, guarantees, equity, offtake, and recycling initiatives.

For Oman Global, the item bears on our mining investment, procurement, and strategic sourcing. It reinforces how critical minerals are moving from a pure mining theme into finance, offtake, and industrial-policy execution.
