WASHINGTON, D.C. – The National Mining Association (NMA) today issued the following statement from its president and CEO Rich Nolan on the Trump administration’s positive action concerning Twin Metals.
“This action corrects a misguided reversal, properly restoring certainty to the mining industry in an area of the country that is home to world-class mineral resources. When companies make long-term investment decisions that require tens- and even hundreds of millions of dollars in investment, they need assurances that properly held leases will be honored no matter who is in the White House. This action is an important first step in responsibly using Minnesota’s rich reserves of copper, nickel, cobalt and other minerals to secure our supply chains and reduce our unnecessary import reliance.”
