Benchmark Mineral Intelligence
UK industry-specialist, politically neutral
Benchmark Mineral Intelligence is a London-based price reporting and data intelligence firm focused on the lithium-ion battery and electric vehicle supply chain, not a general-audience news outlet. It was founded in 2014 by Simon Moores and is majority-owned by him, with Spectrum Equity as a minority institutional investor. Its coverage of the Trump administration is largely analytical and neutral, assessing policy impacts on critical-minerals supply chains rather than taking political positions.
