US EditionTrump approves Alaska mining road to boost copper, zinc production
The federal government invests $35.6 million to support mining exploration and secures a 10% stake in Trilogy Metals to boost U.S. critical mineral supply chains.
- On Monday, Oct. 6, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order approving the Ambler Road project, a 211-mile access road reversing a Biden-era rejection in Alaska.
- Former President Joe Biden had blocked the project citing threats to caribou and Alaska Native subsistence, while Alaska's congressional delegation said the road unlocks copper deposits worth more than $7 billion.
- The decision directs the BLM, NPS, and U.S. Army Corps to reissue permits for a gravel toll road with two bridges, about 26 miles through Gates of the Arctic, by Spring 2026.
- The White House announced it will invest $35.6 million for a 10% federal stake in Trilogy Metals, Inc., including warrants to purchase an additional 7.5%, while U.S. shares soared more than 150%.
- The move fits a recent pattern of government equity investments, including last week's interest in Lithium Americas Corp. and a $400 million DOD investment in MP Materials Corp., to counter China's dominance.
