As governments prioritize critical minerals to support national security, industrial policy objectives and evolving energy goals, companies face an increasingly complex environment of incentives, trade blocs and regulatory intervention. This webcast will explore what these developments mean for critical minerals producers, processors and investors — today and in the future.

Join us for the 2026 EY Americas Metals & Minerals Tax webcast, which brings together leaders from across the metals and minerals ecosystem to discuss how evolving tax, trade and fiscal policy frameworks are reshaping supply chains throughout the Americas.

Key topics include:

• A critical minerals trade policy overview: an update on the latest trade, tariff and policy developments affecting critical minerals supply chains across the Americas
• Nation-building and the evolving trading bloc landscape: insights into how regional alignment and strategic mineral initiatives such as Project Vault are influencing cross-border trade and investment decisions
• Supply chain and operating model considerations: perspectives on how companies are adapting operating models in response to policy-driven supply-chain realignment
• Incentives vs. intervention: a discussion on tax credits (including US Section 45X), incentives and other fiscal tools — alongside emerging penalties and compliance considerations

Time: 12:00-1:00 p.m. ET New York; 9:00-10:00 a.m. PT Los Angeles
