EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, AMERICAN EXPLORATION & MINING ASSOCIATION (AEMA)
"Relying solely on allies for our needs is no longer a viable strategy. While complete mineral independence may be challenging, responsibly utilizing our domestic resources whenever feasible is imperative."
"We have tested autonomous trucks and underground battery-driven equipment, and currently we have several open-pit drills at Carlin operating autonomously."
"We now offer an open platform for life sciences companies to have conversations around priorities in their field and discuss challenges in the supply chain."
"We progressed on the development of our New Innovative Products (NIP), which are complex generics developed using in-house proprietary technology platforms."
"Arizona has a favorable economic, political and regulatory climate. People know we are the ‘copper state’ and generally understand mining’s importance and the need for mined materials."
