"The US has a clear goal and willingness to help strategic industries develop and grow, and we will continue to contribute to developing a reliable, homegrown supply of silicon metal in the US."
CHIEF TECHNOLOGY AND MARKETING OFFICER, DYNO NOBEL
"When we look at critical minerals, projects will face more challenging geology and closer community scrutiny, so that is where our precision electronic detonators, advanced vibration modeling, and emulsion technologies come in."
CEO AND PRINCIPAL OWNER (MD) AND PRESIDENT AND FOUNDING PRINCIPAL (RD), DARLING GEOMATICS
"By completing 3D scans and modeling of processing plants like Mineral Park, we enable mines to use AI to run simulations, become more autonomous and increase efficiencies."
"Resolution Copper has the potential to be a nation-building project on a regional scale, creating a stable base industry that keeps families rooted in their communities."
"We see strong client interest in our geochemistry know-how, particularly in bench studies, pre-feasibility work, and financial cost estimates for reprocessing waste."
EXECUTIVE GENERAL MANAGER – WEST REGION, AUSTIN POWDER
"Paradigm lets us run the entire blast digitally before we even drill or lay out the shot. We can simulate a model for fly rock risk, predict ground vibrations, and evaluate how blasting might impact neighbors or nearby infrastructure."
"Being a US producer brings a lot of advantages, as there is support from the administration, the state and federal government, and the local community."
"We want to be fully aligned with the national mining goals, with KGHM I endorsing the government’s proposal to add copper to the critical minerals list."
