Liberty Star Minerals Chairman Pete O’Heeron and Director Gerardo King joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide an update on their recent trip to Washington, D.C. this week for a series of high-level meetings with Congressional offices to discuss the urgent need for U.S. investment in the exploration and development of critical minerals.
The company’s leadership sat down with influential policymakers, including Senators Ted Cruz and John Cornyn, to emphasize the strategic importance of securing domestic sources of minerals essential to national security, clean energy, and technological innovation.
“The United States is at a critical juncture in ensuring the security of its supply chain for critical minerals,” said Chairman Pete O’Heeron. “We can no longer afford to rely on foreign nations for the materials that power everything from smartphones to fighter jets. It’s imperative that the U.S. government take a leadership role in funding and incentivizing domestic mineral exploration. Liberty Star Minerals is ready to be part of that solution.”
The discussions highlighted the urgent need for a coordinated national effort to support projects like Liberty Star’s Hay Mountain Project in southeast Arizona—one of the most promising undeveloped mineral properties in the U.S. The project targets a diverse range of high-demand strategic metals including copper, lithium, and rare earth elements, which are vital to the defense sector, the transition to clean energy, and the advancement of next-generation technologies.
