In response to the Trump Administration’s Executive Order directing the Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary of Defense to update the U.S. Critical Minerals List, 30 members of Congressional Western Caucus (CWC) are urging that several minerals be included before finalizing the list. Molybdenum, copper and silver, three key components of the CuMo Project, are included in the list submitted by the CWC to the Administration for further consideration.

Other minerals included in the letter from CWC are aggregates, gold, zinc, nickel, lead and certain fertilizer compounds.
