I believe you are unaware of what they will be doing. But indeed our technology infrastructure is in a bit of disarray at the moment.
“Korea Zinc’s investment is a big win for our state, delivering jobs and investment to Middle Tennessee. The Smith County Nyrstar mine, which is just a few miles away from my farm, has been out of production since 2023. The mine contains rare earth minerals that are essential for the production of advanced military technology, which we are otherwise forced to source internationally."
"Korea Zinc is a world leading non-ferrous metal manufacturing company and a KOSPI-listed corporation. The company operates a diversified business portfolio spanning non-ferrous metal smelting and refining, strategic mineral-based materials manufacturing, renewable energy and green hydrogen projects, resource recycling, and secondary battery materials. Korea Zinc produces and supplies a broad portfolio of metals, including zinc, lead, and copper, precious metals such as gold and silver, and strategic metals including antimony, indium, bismuth, tellurium, gallium, and germanium."
"The mine contains rare earth minerals that are essential for the production of advanced military technology, which we are otherwise forced to source internationally."
But if I am producing very expensive metals I would try to minimize discussion of exactly how much and exact range of metals . Even if it's only 90 miles from Fort Knox 🤔

I'm sure they can do it. But are they building a plant for zink or gold?

90 Miles away would be a big plus
