Idaho Mining

We support the interests of the state’s mining and mineral production industry through education, advocacy and outreach to the citizens and leaders of Idaho.

The science behind our Independence Day starts in the ground. Fireworks rely on minerals like copper, strontium, and sodium to create vibrant colors. When heated, these elements release energy, producing the reds, whites, and blues that light up the sky. Happy 250th Birthday USA!

Mining was Idaho’s leading industry when it became a state. Our Great Seal reflects that legacy featuring a miner with a pick, shovel, and ore at his feet. 136 years later, mining continues to support Idaho’s growth through responsible practices that keep our land beautiful.

With the help of Simplot, Bayer, and Itafos, Idaho lawmakers saw how phosphate is mined and processed into fertilizer to grow crops across North America. Idaho's phosphate mines help feed our nation while ensuring land is reclaimed and restored.

Ninth Circuit denied a temporary stay in Save the South Fork Salmon v. Perpetua Resources Idaho, Inc. This allows construction activities at the Stibnite Gold Project to move forward, strengthening the domestic mineral supply chain and supporting responsible resource development.

Throwback to the Women’s Mining Coalition Fly‑In in Washington, D.C.! It was a great week of connecting with mining professionals, learning about industry issues, and highlighting the importance of domestic mining.

Happy Mining Day to all who celebrate!

In Cascade, Idaho, I received an update from Perpetua Resources on the Stibnite Gold Project, which will secure our critical mineral supply chains, strengthen national security, and create good-paying jobs.

@USDOL is committed to working with employers like Perpetua to ensure they have the skilled workforce they need to ramp up domestic production of the resources that will power our future!

[Secretary Doug Burgum @SecretaryBurgum]

The Stibnite Gold Project is bringing antimony development back to America - a mineral essential for our national defense! Thanks to @POTUS' Energy Dominance agenda, this admin is fast-tracking critical mineral production & putting US mining back on top.

Promises made 🤝 promises kept

The SPEED Council is a great example of America First policy making! In Idaho, we are aligning with @POTUS to advance the domestic production of critical minerals to ensure national security & support local economies.

First of all, it's gold, not yellow. That is why we are the Gem State. @IdahoMining

@Coach_Eck is focused on beating Albany! Go Vandals!

The chart below shows BLM mine applications and approvals since 2011. There's a trend through bipartisan administrations. We need #permittingreform now.

[American Exploration & Mining Association @MiningAmerica]

What could you do in the time it takes to permit a mine in the United States? #mining #miningmatters

Copper is a critical mineral not only due to its essential role in the economy but also because of supply chain risks. The current @USGS @USGSMinerals Critical Minerals List, which does not include copper, is based on data from 2015 to 2018. 1/2
