M2i Global and Volato Group to develop critical mineral facility at Nevada's Hawthorne Army Depot

M2i Global Inc and Volato Group have secured a Tenant Use Agreement to develop a Critical Mineral Repository at the Hawthorne Army Depot in Nevada. The facility will support storage, processing, and distribution of essential minerals like gallium, graphite, and copper, vital for defense and clean energy supply chains. This project aims to enhance national security by creating a localized, efficient supply chain with integrated refining, recycling, and ethical sourcing, while also generating jobs and investment in the Hawthorne region. Nevada officials see this as a boost to the state's critical minerals sector and economic innovation.
