Trilogy Metals (TMQ.TO)'S Arctic joint venture with South32 in Alaska has been accepted into the US FAST-41 Federal Permitting Dashboard, Trilogy said Friday.
FAST-41 seeks to improve transparency and predictability of the federal environmental review and authorization process for major infrastructure projects.
"The US currently imports a substantial share of its copper supply from foreign nations - a strategic vulnerability that FAST-41, by providing a clear and coordinated federal permitting framework for domestic mineral projects, could help alleviate," President and Chief Executive Officer Tony Giardini said.
"Inclusion on the Federal Permitting Dashboard signals that the Arctic Project has been recognized at the highest levels of government as a nationally important critical minerals asset," Giardini added.
