The $100M Company That Just Secured a Strategic Alaskan Critical Minerals Project Highlighted in a White House Report

The Palmer Project — A high grade critical mineral project containing. Copper, zinc, silver, gold & barite in Southeast Alaska. Strategically located in a White House‑favoured state for critical minerals development, the project is Governor‑endorsed and advancing under fast‑track federal permitting pursuant to EO 14241.

The Headline Asset

Domestic supply of critical minerals
Is America's Priority.

Identified in a report delivered directly to the White House, Palmer stands as the gateway to South East Alaska critical minerals strategy. At a time when conflicts abroad strain allied munitions and China controls half of global copper smelting, Palmer could be the domestic answer — an American‑led project, fully permitted, fast‑track eligible under EO 14241 and FAST‑41, and backed by 60 km of existing road access to tidewater.

President Trump Revives the Ambler Road to Unlock Alaska's Critical Minerals

In October 2025, the White House reinstated permits for the 211-mile Ambler Access Road — a direct artery into Alaska's richest mineral districts. The Pentagon invested $35.6M into Alaskan copper. Project Vault committed $12 billion to stockpile critical minerals. The message from Washington is clear: Alaska's minerals are a matter of national security.

Palmer sits at the epicenter of this federal push — fully permitted, governor-endorsed, and aligned with every priority the White House has set for domestic mineral security.

Leadership

Proven Builders.
Billion-Dollar Track Record.

The leadership behind Vizsla Silver and Skeena Resources — multiple billion-dollar valuations built from discovery to development. Now building the preeminent North American critical minerals explorer.

Palmer is not just a great deposit — it's the right deposit, at the right time, in the right jurisdiction. We've built billion-dollar companies before. This is what that looks like at the beginning.

Project History

From Discovery to
National Priority.

Late 1960s
Initial Discovery

The project was first discovered in the late 1960s, first targeted as a barite project to support Alaska's North Slope. Intermittent exploration continued over the next several decades.

2013
Strategic Partnership

Japanese refining giant, Dowa Metals and Mining, took interest in the project due to its high-grade zinc and precious metal credits.

Present
Vizsla Acquisition & Development

With over $100M invested in the project to date, Vizsla's entry into the development cycle—driven by unprecedented demand and metal prices—could accelerate the project towards environmental review within this administration.

Copper & National Defense

America Can't Fight
Without Copper.

DoD's #2 most-used material. 106,000 tons/year. Every F-35, submarine, and missile depends on it. [1]
Israel's operations in Gaza and Iran — burning through munitions at historic rates. Allied stockpiles depleted. The US must rearm. [2]
The US produces just over half the refined copper it consumes. Nearly 1 million tons imported annually. Only 2 smelters left in the entire country. [3]
China expanding control of global copper mining through massive investments in the Congo. DRC now the world's #2 miner — overtaking Peru. [3]
President Trump announces 50% tariff on all copper imports. Section 232 national security finding. America is done depending on adversaries. [3]
$12B Project Vault + $7.5B One Big Beautiful Bill + Pentagon investing $35.6M directly in Alaskan copper. The race is on. [4][5]
2
Primary copper smelters left in the United States [3]

Down from 9 in 2000. China has dozens. Arizona mines 70% of domestic supply but America's largest new mine has been stalled for over a decade. The domestic supply chain is broken.

30%
Projected copper supply deficit by 2035 — IEA [6]

Middle East conflicts accelerating munitions demand. Global consumption projected to reach 42M metric tons by 2040. Without new domestic mines like Palmer, the shortfall reaches 19M tonnes by 2050.

Palmer is a fully permitted, domestic copper asset in Alaska — at the center of America's mineral security strategy. While Washington scrambles to rebuild the supply chain, Palmer is already there.

In a long career building mines around the world, I've never been prouder than I am of Palmer — an American project in a proud American state, delivering metals that matter to the nation.
