On September 23, 2026, HSF Kramer client Mercuria, one of the
world's largest independent integrated energy and commodities
groups, announced a $500 million commitment to Project Vault, a
strategic minerals reserve initiative designed to strengthen U.S.
industrial supply chains. Announced in New York during the United
Nations General Assembly summit, the initiative establishes a
dedicated framework to ensure U.S. industry participants retain
access to critical minerals during periods of supply disruption or
market dislocation. Project Vault, now VaultCo, was designed by
EXIM to strengthen U.S. supply chain resilience by maintaining
strategic inventories on American soil.
The HSF Kramer team advising Mercuria was led by partners Robert
Leung and Daniel Grossman, and included counsel Jason Hill,
partners Kenneth Chin and Abraham (Avi) Reshtick, senior associate
Tiancheng (T.C.) Huang and associate Marie Soga.
