Critical minerals and silver experts emphasized the need to enter these markets ahead of the major moves that could lie ahead.
The need to ramp up US production of critical metals was a focal point during Oregon Group founder Anthony Milewski’s presentation at this year’s Vancouver Resource Investment Conference (VRIC).
At the event, he spent 15 minutes outlining how US President Donald Trump could reshape the mining industry.
Pointing to China’s dominance in markets like copper, nickel and rare earths, Milewski stressed the need for regulatory support and tax incentives. Additionally, he emphasized the national security importance of these minerals.
As an example of how this theme can translate into gains for investors, he highlighted the journey of Perpetua Resources (TSX:PPTA,NASDAQ:PPTA) an Idaho-focused company that has long been developing the Stibnite project.
“Within the last two months, they have received over a billion dollars from the US government, because it’s a gold mine with an antimony credit — the stock price has performed fabulously,” he told the audience.
“In terms of opportunity, I think what it means is that investors need to relook at these domestic based projects.”
