Event Overview

The U.S. uses vast amounts of critical minerals to meet its needs in manufacturing, national security, product innovation and economic growth. Each year, nearly $2 trillion is added to our domestic economy by major industries that use mineral materials. Yet despite vast reserves of key mineral resources, for nearly 20 years the U.S. has attracted an ever-declining share of worldwide investment in minerals exploration and is increasingly dependent upon imports to meet its needs. Growing demand for minerals worldwide, coupled with their strategic and economic importance underscore the need for policies that address our 21st century needs.

The Financial Times and the National Mining Association will gather world-class speakers and high-level delegates to discuss how public policy is affecting our ability to meet the nation's critical minerals needs to promote product innovation, national security and economic growth.

Key Discussion Topics Included:

-What is the role of minerals across the industrial supply chain?
-How can metal mining projects act as catalysts for local economic development?
-What are the risks of dependence on mineral imports and how can this dependence be reversed?
-What actions should be taken for the United States to foster investment in the sector and remain competitive?
-Are the regulatory framework, the permitting process and the tax policies in place conducive to investment?
