FAIRBANKS, Alaska - Politicians, scholars, scientists, corporate leaders and others gathered at the Joseph Usibelli Building at the University of Alaska Fairbanks , between August 22 and August 23, to attend the Alaska Minerals Summit.
Various topics took center stage throughout the summit to include Alaska’s leadership as a model for safe mining and continued, cooperative arrangements between the state government, mines, and tribal corporations. “Just about every piece of equipment that we have here in this room, your smart phone to the coatings on an F-35, all of that comes from critical minerals. So we want to be in a position where we are not reliant on others for these very, very necessary resources,” stated Senator Murkowski.
