FAQ: Canada's G7 Critical Minerals Alliance Projects and Nouveau Monde Graphite's Role
TL;DR
Nouveau Monde Graphite secures 100% of planned output before construction, giving Western nations a strategic advantage in reducing dependence on Chinese graphite supply.
Canada's $4.6 billion critical minerals package combines supply contracts, price mechanisms, and co-investment tools to accelerate mining projects through coordinated industrial policy.
This alliance strengthens Western energy security and sovereignty while supporting sustainable mineral development for a more resilient global supply chain.
Nouveau Monde Graphite achieved the rare feat of selling out its entire planned graphite production before even beginning mine construction.

The G7 Critical Minerals Alliance represents a pivot from 'resilience' to a full-fledged alliance where Western governments are no longer just acknowledging supply chain risks but are actively co-investing and partnering with industry to secure critical minerals, moving beyond reliance on China's near-total control.
Canada has launched a $4.6-billion package of projects combining long-term supply contracts, price-stability mechanisms, strategic stockpiling and co-investment tools to accelerate mining and processing projects, aiming to become the trusted, reliable alternative supplier to the Western World.
Graphite occupies a key position because China still supplies the overwhelming majority of the world's processed graphite materials, and allied governments want to ensure locally sourced minerals aren't exported to China for processing while retaining the added value of advanced materials domestically.
Nouveau Monde Graphite (NMG) is featured as a front-runner, being highlighted in the Government of Canada's announcements and having secured multiple strategic commercial agreements that demonstrate how government policy is translating into industrial execution.
NMG has secured a binding supply and marketing deal with the Government of Canada for 30,000 tonnes per annum of graphite concentrate, an updated joint marketing and offtake agreement with Traxys covering 20,000 tpa for refractory markets, and an updated agreement with Panasonic Energy.
The goals include reducing market concentration and dependencies, safeguarding national security and sovereignty, mobilizing capital, driving investments in sustainable critical minerals projects, and ensuring cross-border industrial policy alignment across Canada, the U.S. and Europe on battery supply chains.
The announcement was made on November 13, 2025, during the G7 energy summit, with Canada's Energy and Natural Resources Minister Tim Hodgson stating 'We are no longer just talking' about reducing dependencies.
It addresses China's dominance by creating coordinated industrial policies that accelerate projects delivering secure, vertically integrated capacity, ensuring minerals aren't exported to China for processing and retaining economic and technological value domestically within allied nations.
