The district i am proud to represent, minnesotas 8th Congressional District is blessed with mineral wealth that would allow america to lead in the 21st century. We are home to the duluth complex, one of the largest Mineral Deposits in the world which includes eight billion tons of coppe nickel, cobalt and other Platinum Group metals. This deposit is the worlds second largest copper deposit with 34 of the United States total reserves and Worlds Largest nickel deposit with 95 of the total reserves. These minerals are experiencing large upswings due to Battery Storage and electric vehicles and other expandingectors. Domestic production of these minerals is critical to our national secury and supply Chain Security. The deposits in northern minnesota could provide enough copper for over 70 million electric vehicles and nickel for 3. 5 million battery packs.

The finalizedded withdrawal of 25,000 504 acres went into effect in january of 2023 and prohibits the extraction of any mineral including copper, nick, cobalt, platinum and iron ore for the next 20 years. Northern minnesota home to the historic iron range has been mining iron ore for over 140 years. This is the iron ore that provided the military might to the United States and allies to fight and win world war ii. The mine accounts for 80 of the United States domestically produced steel.

These two actions taken by the Biden Administration are in immediate opposition to its stated Campaign Goals to increase domestic mining to meet demand. They are disregarding years of Environmental Review, a pending mine
