In Ukraine, the American delegation was presented with promising deposits for the first time, which could become the starting projects for the Investment Fund for Reconstruction.
This was announced by Economy Minister Oleksiy Sobolev.
Together with representatives of the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation, he visited the Kirovohrad region, where they inspected the Birzulivsky Mining and Processing Plant and the Likarivske deposit. These facilities are being considered for inclusion in the Fund’s portfolio.
“Titanium ore is primarily mined here, and there are also plans to mine zirconium ore in the future. There are also potential deposits of hafnium, a rare earth metal used in nuclear energy, aerospace, and other industries,” Sobolev said.
Sobolev recalled that Ukraine is one of the world’s leading suppliers of titanium, which is in strategic demand in the US, Europe, and Latin America.
As a reminder, on April 30, 2025, Ukraine and the US signed an agreement to create an investment fund that will work with Ukrainian mineral resources.
