Mining companies must have a reclamation plan *before* permits are approved. This gives the public confidence that the land will become a community space, like a mountain bike park, when mining is done. Watch the full episode here: https://t.co/G3afPzVYAn

China graduates 20,000 mining experts; the US & Canada, only 300 each. Australia? Just 50-70. The West is producing 1/20th the mining talent of China. It's not just about resources—it's about expertise. #Mining #GlobalEconomy

Navigating mining land rights can be tricky! Ambiguous land orders and split estates pop up all the time. That's why we have a mining attorney and compliance manager review everything before we even send our team out. #MiningRights #LandLaw

Biden kicked off critical minerals discussions, but domestic mining faced roadblocks. Initial excitement turned to confusion with the BLM public lands rule. Removing roadblocks, but still facing adjudication & staffing issues at BLM. #CriticalMinerals #BLM

Globalization is shifting to nationalization, fragmenting supply chains. Location of strategic minerals now matters more than ever due to geopolitics and political risk. Deposits once uninteresting are now crucial. #Globalization #Geopolitics

Staking is the foundation. Clients spend $100K staking claims, then $50M on exploration. A bad job here jeopardizes the whole tower. Don't cut corners. #MiningClaims #Staking

Don't assume the federal government will adjudicate your claims *before* you drill. Projects have been halted years into drilling when the BLM finally says, "Oops, you don't own those mineral rights." #BLM #MineralRights
