The Presidential Executive Order is designed to boost the mining industry by efficiently and effectively maximizing the development and production of natural resources located on Federal and State lands in Alaska and expediting the permitting and leasing of its natural resource projects The full text of the Executive Order is available at: Unleashing Alaska's Extraordinary Resource Potential – The White House.
Tim Smith, Chief Executive Officer of U.S. GoldMining, commented: "Alaska is entering a transformative period. The Company's 100% owned Whistler Gold-Copper Project ("Project") located in Alaska is already set to benefit from strong political support for responsible resource exploration and development at the state level in Alaska. We greatly appreciated Governor Dunleavy's visit to the Project in the summer of 2023, and we continue to support Alaska's 'Roads to Resources' initiative which includes the proposed West Susitna Access Road to the Project.
The President's prioritization of Alaska's resource development with this order has the potential to usher in a new era of discovery, growth and project development for the Alaskan resource sector, which could deliver strong economic prosperity in Alaska, and economic and resource security for the nation.
The future potential mine development of the Project and Alaska's proposed West Susitna Access Road are well placed to benefit from the regulatory certainty provided by the President's Executive Order. I am more encouraged than ever about the advancements of the Project and its long-term potential to create jobs for local Alaskans, grow the economy, and contribute to domestic resource supply for copper, a critical mineral essential for national energy security."
