MTWO

M2i Global, Inc. commends recent federal actions by the Trump Administration aimed at securing critical minerals supply chains & defense logistics.
On August 7, 2026, a roundtable announced over $2 billion in mining projects & over $180 million in workforce investment, bringing total approved deals to 160 valued at nearly $40 billion since January 2025.
A July 30, 2026 Presidential Determination under the Defense Production Act authorized export restrictions on recoverable critical minerals.
The Bureau of Industry and Security issued a temporary final rule on August 6, 2026, requiring 100 percent of black mass & tungsten waste scrap sales to U.S. persons starting August 27, 2026.
This export rule remains effective through August 27, 2027, with a public comment period open until November 4, 2026.
Executive Order 14415 signed on July 20, 2026, limits waivers for critical materials from covered nations & directs the Department of War to mandate comprehensive supply chain mapping.
The Executive Order encourages defense contractors to qualify new domestic & partner nation sources while removing regulatory barriers in the qualification process.
M2i Global states it did not receive any of the awards announced on August 7, 2026, & clarifies the release does not indicate a federal contract or commitment to the Company.
M2i Global operates midstream infrastructure for converting critical minerals into traceable materials for defense, industrial, & manufacturing buyers across four verticals: repository, processing, technology, & recycling.
The company does not engage in mining activities & holds no government affiliation for its Critical Mineral Repository apart from a tenant use agreement with the Army.
