The technologies that define innovation today all depend on minerals—from lifesaving medical devices to hybrid cars and advanced energy technologies.
Access to minerals means a more secure America. Minerals are among the most important components in the technologies protecting our nation.
People are the core of U.S. minerals mining — the employees whose dedication and expertise define the mining workforce and mining’s friends and neighbors in communities across the country. Nothing is more important to U.S. mining than the safety of its workers, and being a good neighbor and environmental steward.
The U.S. is home to more than $6.2 trillion worth of minerals and metals. Yet delays in our current mine permitting process have put our nation at the bottom of the list of top mining countries, sending mining jobs overseas and forcing U.S. manufacturers to increasingly rely on mineral imports. 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.
