NC in DC: North Carolina’s Role in the Nation’s Critical Minerals Ecosystem
February 25 @ 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm
Mineral mining has long been a cornerstone of North Carolina’s economy, from its early leadership in gold mining before the 1849 California gold rush to its current strength in industrial minerals such as clay and crushed stone. The state also holds rare deposits of critical minerals, like lithium, which underpin many of the technologies that power our everyday lives and provide our military with its technological advantage. As the nation looks to strengthen and secure its domestic supply chain of these critical minerals, North Carolina’s role will only grow more important.
During this event, North Carolina critical minerals stakeholders will convene in Washington, DC, to examine the state’s position within the nation’s critical mineral ecosystem. The conversation will explore how collaboration between industry, academia, and government can address complex challenges across the entire lifecycle of critical minerals and develop the future workforce needed to support expanded domestic mineral extraction and processing.
Join Duke in DC on February 25th for a moderated panel of Duke and North Carolina-based experts to learn about their work in critical minerals and the collaborations that impact the industry across the state of North Carolina.
