Access to minerals means a more secure America. Minerals are among the most important components in the technologies protecting our nation.

This is a policy issue that needs to be addressed.
By creating high-paying jobs and providing the raw materials essential to every sector of our economy, minerals mining helps stimulate economic growth.
