Trump's Opening of Alaska Project Continues String of Mining Approvals

October 10, 2025--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Earlier this week, U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order directing regulators to approve construction of a 211-mile road into Alaska's Ambler Mining District so that the area's copper, zinc and other critical minerals can be mined. The project was previously rejected by Biden-era regulatory agencies. The order continues a string of favorable approvals the Trump administration has given to U.S. mining projects since the president's return to office.
