Alaska's Mineral Boom: Congress, Pentagon Back Critical Resource Development

Congress and Pentagon back Alaska's critical mineral development amid China export restrictions. Trilogy Metals' projects gain strategic importance for US national security and supply chain resilience.

This development matters because it addresses America's critical vulnerability in mineral supply chains that are essential for national security, technology manufacturing, and military applications. With China controlling over 80% of global rare earth element processing and implementing export restrictions, the U.S. faces significant risks in sectors ranging from defense systems to renewable energy and electric vehicles. Alaska's mineral potential represents a strategic opportunity to reduce foreign dependence, secure domestic supply chains, and maintain technological competitiveness while creating economic opportunities in a stable jurisdiction.
