EVs and UAVs... Laptops and LEDs... Smartphones, solar cells and satellites... A revolution in materials science is changing our world. Graphite is at the center of that revolution. Graphite One: America’s Complete Advanced Graphite Supply Chain Solution Graphite One Tech Materials for Global Ingenuity www.GraphiteOneInc.com America’s Supply Chain for the Electrification of Everything TSX-V: GPH OTCQX: GPHOF www.AlaskaMiners.org 5 als like lithium, cobalt, and rare earth elements is increasing rapidly as the world expands the use of renewable energy, electric vehicles, and high-tech manufacturing. However, current permitting delays hinder the ability to meet this rising demand. Need for Reform: Facilitating faster, yet responsible permitting for projects that extract critical minerals is crucial for supporting the energy expansion. Governments could prioritize these projects without compromising environmental reviews, ensuring that mineral extraction is sustainable. Incorporation of Modern Technology Current Situation: The mining industry is evolving with new technologies that can minimize environmental impacts, enhance safety, and improve operational efficiency. However, permitting processes often fail to account for these advancements. Need for Reform: Updating regulations to account for technological advancements in mining — such as automation, remote monitoring, and more sustainable extraction techniques — could help expedite permits for operations that meet high environmental and safety standards. Reforming the permitting process in the mining industry is crucial for fostering economic growth, national security, enhancing global competitiveness, and ensuring the supply of critical minerals for technological and energy advancements. However, reform efforts should carefully balance efficiency with environmental stewardship, ensuring that the mining industry remains sustainable and socially responsible.
