They granted additional time for the public hearings and comments for the initial application also, if you remember. It’s no big deal. They went up from 90 days to 120 days if I’m not mistaken, and they’ll probably do the same thing here. Big deal. Won’t affect anything.

Now dropping that 404c, that would be a game changer...

Dear Gary,

Despite being home to an estimated $6.2 trillion in mineral resources, our nation’s reliance on foreign mineral imports has doubled in just two decades. Thanks to outdated and duplicative mine permitting policies, investment in U.S. mine exploration and development has decreased exponentially.

In the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee’s first hearing of the 116th Congress earlier this month, Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) called on Congress to support domestic mining and halt this dangerous trend.

“Our nation is headed in the wrong direction on mineral imports,” Sen. Murkowski stated. “This is our Achilles’ heel that serves to empower and enrich other nations, while costing us jobs and international competitiveness.”

Murkowski’s words should not be taken lightly. Inefficient mine permitting policies mean that critical sectors of our economy – from defense to healthcare to manufacturing – are forced to rely on unstable supply chains, posing a threat to our nation as a whole.


Minerals are the backbone of almost every component of modern-day life. Titanium and gold are essential to medical technologies thousands of Americans depend on. Beryllium is used in the fighter jets and surveillance tools used by the brave men and women who serve our nation. The ways that minerals and metals impact our everyday lives goes on.

This Congress can enact meaningful change by outlining a clear timeline for the government approval process for mine permits. Thanks to Congressional leaders like Sen. Murkowski, we are getting closer to securing a stable, domestic supply chain of minerals essential to U.S. manufacturing, innovation and national security.
