Valhalla Metals issued a press release expressing its support for President Trump's Executive Order 'Unleashing Alaska's Extraordinary Resource Potential', which aims to reinstate access to the Ambler Mining District. The order reverses previous administration policies that hindered resource development in Alaska and outlines a path for the Ambler Access Road, crucial for unlocking critical and strategic metals essential for the energy and transportation transition.
Valhalla Metals issued a press release providing an update on the Ambler Mining District Access Road , following President Trump 's Executive Order 'Unleashing Alaska 's Extraordinary Resource Potential'. The proposed Ambler Access Road , intended to cross Valhalla State mining claims at the Sun project, would open access to a wealth of critical and strategic metals located in the Ambler Mining District .
These metals are essential for the green energy and transportation transition and for ensuring secure domestic supply chains. President Trump's Executive Order, signed on January 20, 2025, reverses a series of Biden administration policies that negatively impacted natural resource development in Alaska. Specifically, Section 3 (b) (viii) of the Executive Order addresses the Ambler Road, calling for: a temporary moratorium on activities and privileges granted pursuant to the 'Ambler Road Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement Record of Decision' signed on June 27, 2024, to allow for a review of alleged legal deficiencies and consideration of relevant public interests. A reinstatement of the 'Ambler Road Environmental Impact Statement Joint Record of Decision' signed on July 23, 2020, by the Bureau of Land Management and United States Army Corps of Engineers. This action directly addresses the erroneous 'No Action Alternative Record of Decision' (ROD) issued by the previous administration. Valhalla Metals views this as a positive step forward, aligning with the intent of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA), which guaranteed access to the Ambler Mining District for the State of Alaska and Alaska Native corporations. The company welcomes statements from U.S. Senators Lisa Murkowski, Dan Sullivan, and U.S. Representative Nick Begich (all R-Alaska) who praised President Trump's executive order. They emphasized its significance in prioritizing Alaska's energy and resource development, reversing the negative impact of the Biden Administration's policies, and putting Alaskans back in control of their state's destiny
