But at its current rate, the company is expected to begin production a whopping 17 years after it first identified the resource.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat timeline is just too long,\u201d Lyon continued. \u201cIf we\u2019re going to achieve our nation\u2019s national security, energy and economic goals, it can\u2019t take 17 years to do this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Perpetua favors a rigorous but efficient permitting process, Lyon added, noting that NEPA regulations have helped the company make the project more environmentally friendly. Perpetua has also committed to restoring the habitat in the site\u2019s area which was harmed by previous projects there decades ago.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WATCH:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/watch?v=SRyXZo_M0Lo\">https:\/\/youtube.com\/watch?v=SRyXZo_M0Lo<\/a>\n<\/p>\n<p>During the several years of Perpetua\u2019s attempt to receive approval for production, China, Russia and Tajikistan have cornered the market for the mineral, <a href=\"https:\/\/pubs.usgs.gov\/periodicals\/mcs2021\/mcs2021-antimony.pdf\">according<\/a> to a United States Geological Survey (USGS) report. China alone mined 80,000 metric tons of antimony in 2020, equivalent to 52% of global production.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. didn\u2019t produce any antimony in 2020 despite its availability in Idaho, Alaska, Montana and Nevada, the USGS report said. If approved, Perpetua\u2019s project would be the only antimony mining project in the U.S. and would account for 35% of the nation\u2019s demand for the mineral in its first six years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe now find ourselves in a situation where the materials we need in order to accomplish our goals can be held hostage by geopolitics,\u201d Lyon said. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/12\/08\/electric-vehicle-deforestation-global-climate-pledges\/\">(RELATED: Electric Vehicle Push Is Sparking Massive Deforestation, Environmental Damage)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Antimony is one of several minerals needed to manufacture clean energy technology and one of 50 minerals <a href=\"https:\/\/www.federalregister.gov\/documents\/2021\/11\/09\/2021-24488\/2021-draft-list-of-critical-minerals\">deemed<\/a> \u201cessential\u201d for U.S. economic and national security.

Overall, China controls about 55% of the world\u2019s mining capacity and 85% of global mineral refining, the White House\u2019s supply chain report from June concluded.<\/p>\n<p>For context, the average electric car needs six times more mineral resources than a conventional car while a single onshore wind turbine plant requires nine times more minerals than a typical fossil fuel plant, the IEA\u2019s May report said.
