Arizona Mining Update

Arizona is playing a key role in national efforts to boost domestic mineral extraction. Recent developments include President Trump’s executive order to speed up U.S. mineral production and bipartisan legislation to include copper as a critical mineral. Arizona lawmakers are also pushing for policies to support mining and reduce foreign reliance.
