This week's long-form episode of Mining Stock Daily welcomes back Adam Hawkins and Chris Temple to focus entirely on the mining industry within the United States, following Trevor Hall's attendance at the Idaho mining conference. The core discussion revolves around whether the U.S. is a better jurisdiction for mining now than it was a year or two ago, considering both favorable geology and turbulent policy issues like construction costs and tariffs. A major topic addressed is the significant $75 million investment by JP Morgan into Perpetua's Stibnite project, marking a potentially unprecedented moment of major U.S. financial institution involvement in hard rock mining. The guests agree that while capital flows are modestly improving, the country generally lacks the comprehensive industrial policy needed to rebuild the extractive industries. They express concern that the U.S. regulatory system is "unhinged" compared to countries like Canada or Australia, noting that permitting holdups and subsequent litigation are costly for investors. The conversation also delves into geopolitics, stressing that achieving mineral security requires a strong North American partnership and urgent action to overcome China's long-term planning advantage and rebuild U.S. processing infrastructure. Ending on a positive note, the hosts celebrate the news that the University of Idaho is opening a new geological engineering school, signaling a step in the right direction for the domestic industry.
