Event Alert –  ARPN’s Daniel McGroarty Panelist at “Minerals: The Overlooked Foundation of Our Future”

If you’re in Washington, DC this week, mark your calendar:  On Wednesday of this week, RealClearPolitics, in partnership with our friends at the National Mining Association, will be convening issue experts and stakeholders to discuss Minerals: The Overlooked Foundation of Our Future.

U.S. Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), who chairs the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources and is a leader in the realm of critical mineral issues, will be keynoting the event. 

Her address, and subsequent panel discussions will “explore how – despite the importance of minerals to our technology, defense, energy and manufacturing supply chains – the industry’s importance is often overlooked by consumers who take for granted that certain materials will always be available. (…)”

The event seeks to further explore “policy questions surrounding the importance of minerals, and how the nation’s manufacturing sector, national defense and even green energy technologies depend on a healthy domestic minerals mining industry and improved access to domestic minerals.”

Here’s the lineup for the event, which includes ARPN principal Daniel McGroarty:
