States findings of the Legislature and supports re-opening American Tungsten's IMA mining project.
RS33714 / HJM021 This Memorial states that the Legislature supports the development of American Tungsten’s IMA Mine Project located near Patterson in Lemhi County. It further states for the expedited issuance of state of Idaho permits and other authorizations necessary for bringing the Mine back into operation after many years of disuse. It also urges the United State Department of War to award a grant to the company to complete the development of the Mine. The Mine will produce tungsten, a critical mineral for many applications, including in a variety of applications for use in national defense. The United States currently relies on China and Russia for most of the tungsten needed in national defense. When completed, projected to be by the end of this calendar year, the Mine will be the only producer of tungsten in the United States.
