The United States Energy Association (USEA), in cooperation with the DoE and the Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management, has selected participants across varying disciplines of the United States' critical minerals supply chain to meet face-to-face and discuss some of the opportunities, strategies, and challenges to help re-establish the U.S.' critical minerals independence.

The workshop aims to gather input for prospective government research programs centered on innovative technology and approaches for resource exploration, discovery, appraisal, mining, and processing of critical minerals.

Idaho Strategic's President and CEO, John Swallow stated, "I am looking forward to the upcoming workshop and encouraged to see something like this come together. I have long believed that as a country we need to get the right people in the same room and open the floor for discussion without the distraction of narrative building and publicity, much like a modern-day (and somewhat less consequential) version of the Manhattan Project. I personally view Idaho Strategic as the tip of the spear in terms of addressing the U.S.' rare earth elements demand. My participation on the Industry R&D Needs panel is fitting and I am looking forward to a productive discussion while working our way one-step closer to a real solution."
