The recommendations would substantially alter U.S. mining laws, including an 8 percent royalty rate while failing to address permitting delays. “Our nation’s mineral and technology independence relies on strong domestic mining and production in mineral-rich states like Idaho,” said Crapo. “We should encourage new domestic production instead of hampering progress with more arbitrary timeframes and subjective criteria for new leases.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T00:37:48Z |
