Throughout my career I have been very appreciative that I had the chance to learn so much from Senator Kyl. His willingness to learn facts, delve into details and put his shoulder to the wheel led to incredible outcomes. He will be missed by so many.
BREAKING NEWS: Jon Kyl, a giant in Arizona politics who served the state in Congress for nearly three decades, has died, his family announced Thursday. He was 84. MORE ABOUT HIS LIFE AND IMPACT: ktar.com/arizona-politics-ne…

Congratulations AT4! President Trump and Secretary Wright continue their tireless efforts to make America more secure and prosperous!
We’ve been selected by the U.S. Department of Energy as one of nine projects under a US$162 million initiative to accelerate the recovery of critical minerals and materials from domestic industrial sources. Trigg Minerals, AT4’s wholly owned U.S. operating subsidiary, is one of five projects selected under the prior pilot-scale facilities category, which is focused on advancing technologies from prototype towards pre-commercial demonstration. The DOE initiative specifically includes antimony among the critical materials targeted and forms part of broader U.S. efforts to secure domestic critical mineral supply chains and strengthen national security. The selection is particularly relevant to AT4 as we advance our U.S. antimony and tungsten strategy, including the Antimony Canyon Project in Utah and, subject to completion of the acquisition, the Del Sol Refinery in Nevada and White Spar Antimony Mine in Arizona. At Del Sol, AT4 is planning the restart and expansion of the existing antimony flake circuit, with operating data intended to support expansion studies and planned applications for U.S. Government funding. We are also progressing plans for additional antimony products and ammonium paratungstate (APT) production. We welcome today’s announcement and look forward to working with Secretary Chris Wright and the U.S. Department of Energy as we progress our critical minerals ambitions. We are also grateful for the continued support of Governor Spencer J. Cox and Utah’s Congressional Delegation. This selection is an important step for AT4 as we work to strengthen America’s domestic supply chains for tungsten and antimony. The direction of U.S. Government investment is clear: domestic mining, processing and manufacturing capacity across critical mineral supply chains.

Well done! Awesome to take the time to recognize the effort of the exceptional James Sherk.
.@POTUS signs an Executive Order on reforming federal workforce accountability: "What this does is basically treats those employees like private sector workers. They can be hired on the basis of merit and confidence, but if they're messing up, then they can be removed quickly rather than taking a year or longer to get rid of them."

Appreciated the chance to have been part of this key announcement in Utah. This is an important step for Utah and nationally for our economic and national security. This project fits perfectly within the President’s critical minerals strategy.
America cannot build a secure future while depending on China for critical materials. Cedar City welcomed a major critical minerals project that will help bring antimony production back to the United States. Antimony is essential for defense systems, battery storage, advanced electronics, and other technologies our country relies on. By developing these resources here at home, Utah is helping strengthen America’s supply chains while creating hundreds of good-paying jobs in Iron and Garfield counties. Utah is proving that energy security, national security, and rural economic strength go hand in hand. More here: sltrib.com/news/business/202…

For the American people to thrive, our great nation must develop natural resources critical to our national security and economic growth. I look forward to chairing AT4,  American Tungsten & Antimony Ltd's, strategic advisory board as the company advances a portfolio of antimony and tungsten projects, both minerals designated as critical to U.S. national security, defense, and advanced manufacturing. xitter.gq/ATAA_AT4/status/205218…
We’ve appointed former U.S. Secretary of the Interior David Bernhardt as Chairman of our Strategic Advisory Board, strengthening AT4’s ability to engage effectively with U.S. Government stakeholders as we advance our projects and align with U.S. critical minerals policy and domestic supply chain initiatives. Secretary Bernhardt brings extensive direct experience overseeing U.S. federal land access, permitting and resource development frameworks, and maintains established relationships across U.S. federal agencies, policy-makers and regulatory bodies. The Strategic Advisory Board will support strategy across antimony and tungsten project development in Tier-1 U.S. jurisdictions.

Dirk Kempthorne was an incredible public servant and so much more! Having had a chance to serve with him meant he was also a teacher, a mentor, and a permanent touchstone for principled leadership. Prayers to his family. He will be missed.

Today, the @SecWar explained his determination, and the Endangered Species Committee unanimously granted an exception for the first time in decades for oil and gas operations in the Gulf of America. It's a historic step by the Trump Administration and its energy dominance agenda. Live Webcasts doi.gov/live via @interior

Thank you, @SecRollins, @SecretaryTurner, @johnrich, @RepJamesComer and everyone who attended for your steadfast support of America’s farmers and ranchers! I am honored to play a role in this important milestone. xitter.gq/SecRollins/status/2021…
Yesterday, we gathered farmers and ranchers who’ve been unjustly targeted by lawfare to launch @USDA’s Farmer & Rancher Freedom Framework!🇺🇸⚖️💪 These policies will protect private property rights, further deregulate rural America, and conserve productive farmland for generations to come. Thank you to @SecretaryTurner, @johnrich, and @RepJamesComer for standing behind this framework and therefore every family we’re fighting for, including King Ranch, the Maude family, Henry Family Farm, the Gaver Farm, and Dr. Rich Brazil and the Potter Valley community in California. We’re committed to these lasting solutions to reversing lawfare and overregulation. Because lifting government off of the backs of farmers not only provides them with relief, but it provides relief to American consumers as well. 🇺🇸🌾

. @davidlbernhardt, CEO and founder of The Bernhardt Group, released the following statement on the passing of U.S. Congressman Doug LaMalfa (R-Calif.): “Today, we mourn the loss of a true champion of the West. “Congressman Doug LaMalfa dedicated his life to the people of Northern California, including spending over a decade as a stalwart protector of their way of life in Washington. Throughout my time in public service and as Interior Secretary, it was my honor to work hand in hand with him as we listened to the needs of farmers, ranchers and tribal leaders throughout the West. “Just last month, Doug and I spoke at the Western Caucus’s annual meeting together on charting the best course for the stewardship of federal lands on behalf of America’s rural communities. “Gena and I send our heartfelt condolences to Doug’s wife and children, as well as his staff.”

I applaud President Trump’s choice of New Mexico’s Steve Pearce to lead the Bureau of Land Management. Steve’s leadership on public lands issues and energy issues makes him uniquely suited for the role. I encourage swift confirmation of his nomination. eenews.net/articles/senate-r…
