It's time for the USGS to recognize copper as a critical mineral. Copper meets all the criteria: it's essential for economic and national security, indispensable for modern manufacturing, and its supply chain is vulnerable to disruptions. Let's give copper credit and include it on the 2025 USGS Critical Minerals list, securing our copper future. #Copper #CDA #CopperisSecure #CopperisCritical #USGS #CriticalMineral

In Copper Age 2.0. #CopperisSecure, but only if we adopt an all-of-the-above approach. As demand surges, driven by electrification and renewable energy, we must maximize our already abundant domestic copper supply. S&P Global Market Intelligence recent report underscores the challenges and opportunities within the U.S. copper landscape. We must produce and refine more, recycle more, and continue to import from reliable trade partners. This strategy can ensure #CopperisSecure for generations to come. https://lnkd.in/dwhXffR5 #Copper #CDA #CopperisCritical #SandPReport
