Simply put, Alaska’s resource management is one of the best in the world.
- Diverse mineral resources, including gold, copper, zinc, lead, silver, graphite, cobalt, molybdenum, and more
- Rigorous regulatory framework
- Dedicated environmental stewardship
- Safe, sustainable resource development
- Strict safety protocols and demonstrated safety records
- Collaborative partnerships with communities, Alaska Native corporations, and tribal governments
Most objects around us are made up of metals. Our phones, computers, cars, buildings, appliances, electricity, and technology for just about everything from the everyday to what can be envisioned for the future.
- The International Energy Agency estimates the demand for certain metals may grow as much as 40 times by 2040.

A Sustainable Future
- According to Benchmark Mineral Intelligence more than 300 new mines would be needed worldwide to meet electric vehicle demand alone
- By 2040, hundreds of new mines will be needed to create necessary wind and solar farms
- Currently, the United States has only one mine for producing cobalt, nickel, and lithium
A strong supply of domestic metal production is important for America’s independence.
- Investments in domestic metals strengthen the economy
- U.S. operations support human rights
- Mining independence ensures metals mined needed to reach net zero are mined under the highest safety and sustainability standards
Achieving America's commitment to address climate change will require major investments in technology and infrastructure. Developing Alaska’s rich land deposits of cobalt, silver, copper, gold, zinc, graphite, rare earth elements and more can move these goals forward.
- Net zero, economy-wide carbon emissions by 2050
- Carbon-free electric grid by 2030
- All new vehicles to be zero-emission vehicles by 2035
