White House to Expedite Permits for 10 Strategic Mining Projects Supplying Critical Resources
On Friday, April 18, the White House announced it will accelerate the permitting process for ten U.S. mining projects aimed at boosting domestic production of copper, lithium, coal, and other critical minerals.
The initiative is part of a broader strategy to reduce reliance on foreign mineral imports and secure supply chains vital to national defense and green technology development.
Companies expected to benefit from the move include:
Perpetua Resources
Rio Tinto
Hecla Mining
Albemarle Corporation
Warrior Met Coal
The selected projects span several states and resource types, reflecting the U.S. government’s intention to support a diversified and resilient domestic mining sector.
This policy push aligns with recent executive actions invoking the Defense Production Act to strengthen the country’s position in critical mineral supply.
Industry analysts say the fast-tracked approvals could significantly shorten development timelines, bringing new production online faster to meet growing industrial and clean energy demands.
