Rare Earth Mineral Mining Projects Locked Under Antiquities Act
March 22, 2023 | Nevada
Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo on Tuesday blasted Joe Biden for unilaterally locking up mineral rich land in his state.
Biden on Tuesday announced he is establishing two new national monuments – Avi Kwa Ame in Nevada, and Castner Range in West Texas – to ‘preserve’ more than 500,000 acres of land.
“The Avi Kwa Ame monument in Southern Nevada will include the peak also known as Spirit Mountain, which is part of the creation story of several tribal nations. The area is a desert landscape that contains a Joshua tree forest and fauna including the desert bighorn sheep, desert tortoise and Gila monster.” The Hill reported.
But there is more to the story.
It appears Biden unilaterally locked up Nevada’s rare earth mineral mining projects by using his so-called authority under the Antiquities Act. (Excerpt from The Gateway Pundit.)
