That's both nickel + cobalt on the critical minerals list, & the list of 20 countries grouped by location would be:
Other: Australia Canada Korea Singapore (& the USA itself)
MENA: Bahrain, Israel, Jordan, Morocco, Oman
SA/CA: Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru
If true, would certainly be big in terms of Indonesia/Philippines/Russia/China production (though I'd imagine some agreement might be possible to be reached for the Philippines), this isn't like lithium where it's all from Australia/Chile anyway
