President Trump signed an executive order overlooked by some in the media on his first day of office that experts tell Fox News Digital will play a critical role in developing mineral resources in the United States.
On the first day of his presidency, Trump signed an executive order advancing the Ambler Access Project, a 211-mile industrial road through the Brooks Range foothills that enables commercial mining for copper, zinc and other materials in a remote Arctic area in Northwest Alaska.
That executive order, one of dozens signed by Trump in the early hours of his administration, reverses a move by former President Biden to block the project and represents a significant change in energy policy, according to experts who spoke to Fox News Digital.
"President Biden issued 70 executive actions that discouraged tapping into Alaska's natural resources and public lands access," Gabriella Hoffman, Independent Women’s Forum Center for Energy & Conservation Director, told Fox News Digital. "Unlike his predecessor, President Trump recognizes Alaska's potential to meet domestic energy and national security needs for reliable energy and critical minerals—including restoring the Ambler Access Project connecting to the Ambler Mining District."
"The Ambler Access Project has endured extensive environmental review and would bring economic development to rural communities in dire need of it without despoiling Alaska's natural beauty," Hoffman added. "Those who would benefit from employment by Ambler also hunt, fish, and enjoy public lands."
Research by the University of Alaska Center for Economic Development on the economic impact of the project concluded that the development of the Ambler Mining District could create thousands of direct, indirect, and induced jobs and the project could mean a projected $1 billion for the state in revenue, mining license tax revenue, corporate income taxes, and production royalties.

I’ll always associate that slogan with Sarah Palin.
The gullible Biden issued 70 executive orders that discouraged
tapping into Alaska’s natural resources and public lands access.
Gabriella Hoffman, Women’s Forum for Energy & Conservation Director, told Fox News Digital, “Unlike his predecessor, President Trump recognizes Alaska’s potential to meet domestic energy and national security needs for reliable energy and critical minerals—including restoring the Ambler Access Project” which Biden sap-happily ditched.
Which the people running Biden had him ditch to intentionally hurt America.
FTFY
For the benefit of Russia and hope of global government.
remote Arctic area in Northwest Alaska.>>> I think this process would be enhanced by close in person supervision of these operations by the entire CIA, FBI and DOJ. Quonset huts, cots, desks and land phones for the office. no internet. yyou get a fax machine.
Death by Fax.
EPA needs to move their HQ there to watch out for endangered species.
Lol.
If you don’t mine them...natural “resources” aren’t really “resources”.
endangered species.

That does not as commonly thought, mean there are only a few left of a species, but rather means there are only a few left in what envirowackos label “their historic range”, even if there are millions elsewhere. The Bald Eagle is a case in point. Few in some places in the lower 48, but many thousands in AK and Canada.
