Rare Earth Exchanges
U.S. pro-industry, supply-chain nationalist
Rare Earth Exchanges is an independent U.S. media and data platform founded in 2024 by tech entrepreneurs Daniel O'Connor and Dustin Olsen and based in Utah. Its mission is explicitly pro-supply-chain-independence: it advocates for reducing U.S. and allied-nation reliance on Chinese rare earth and critical mineral production. On the Trump administration's critical minerals agenda it is broadly aligned in goals but applies analytical scrutiny, flagging implementation gaps, conflicts of interest, and the need for more integrated industrial policy beyond mine funding.
