In the Skillings Mining Review April 2022 edition, our cover story takes readers on a deep dive into “Discover the Largest Critical Mineral Mines of America.” As demand for rare earths, lithium, graphite, and other critical minerals accelerates, America’s ability to secure domestic supply has never been more urgent. This feature explores the nation’s most important deposits, their role in strengthening supply chains, and their impact on energy independence.
This issue also unpacks the far-reaching consequences of the Russia-Ukraine conflict on mining—from spiking iron ore prices to supply chain disruptions and collapsing share values. We highlight U.S. government support with the Biden-Harris administration’s $144 million investment in union jobs and coal group revival, as well as North Dakota’s $2.8 million grant to repurpose abandoned coal mines.
Profiles, project updates, and global case studies—from Honduras halting open-pit mining to Tanzania’s Epanko graphite project—round out a timely, forward-looking edition for mining professionals worldwide.
