Critical Minerals Supply Finance
Provides a guarantee to a bank making a loan to an overseas project which has an offtake agreement in place with a UK exporter to purchase and import critical minerals products.
How it works
We can offer a loan guarantee to an overseas project sponsor for projects (including mining, processing, manufacturing and recycling) which have a long-term offtake contract in place, to supply UK exporters with critical minerals products.
Critical minerals will be defined in line with the UK’s Critical Minerals list developed by the Critical Minerals Intelligence Centre which identifies minerals considered to have significant supply risks.
We welcome discussions on overseas critical minerals projects which UKEF may be able to support, particularly any that supply the UK automotive, clean energy, aerospace and defence sectors.
How to apply
Applications, full eligibility criteria and conditions of use will be available in the coming months. If you would like an initial discussion or to enquire further, please contact us.
