U.S. coal exports reached 66.4 million short tons through August, up 8.6% from a year earlier, with India accounting for 27% of the total at 18.1 million short tons. As global coal demand rises, American producers are already helping meet growing energy and steelmaking needs overseas. Read this week’s Count On Coal blog for more: countoncoal.org/2026/10/the-…

“It has become painfully clear that the United States has allowed itself to become too reliant on unreliable sources of critical minerals, products and manufacturing—all of which are essential for our national security,” JPMorganChase chairman and CEO Jamie Dimon said when the initiative was announced. share.google/TK8uhpXahoNdxUD… @mining @MiningAmerica @NationalMining @MiningFan

@NioCorp's Elk Creek Project in Nebraska is advancing as a potential new domestic source of niobium, scandium, titanium and magnetic rare earths used across manufacturing, energy, aerospace and defense. With the U.S. currently 100% net import reliant for several of the minerals the project plans to produce, Elk Creek highlights the importance of bringing more U.S. mining and processing capacity online. —> niocorp.com/u-s-energy-secre…

We need to find a direct path to Asia. South Korea and Japan are needing PRB #Coal.
Facts matter
The @AmericanCoal, @Utah_Mining and Wyoming Mining Association have joined together to examine the Oakland coal terminal debate through the lens of data, not politics. "California signed a law to stop Oakland’s coal terminal 8 years of air data says to build it." deseret.com/opinion/2026/10/…

#ICYMI~ #Coal has had a series of regulatory wins under the Trump administration, but it has struggled to regain market share. @Frontieras North America believes it has a way to change that. The company has just signed a memorandum of understanding with Western Fuels-Wyoming Inc. to explore building a coal-to-products processing plant at the Dry Fork Mine north of Gillette, Frontieras Chief Commercial Officer Andrea Moran told Cowboy State Daily.

A new map of critical mineral deposits in the United States shows nearly twice as many deposits as the last dataset released in 2024. However, the increase is not due to the discovery of hundreds of new mineral deposits.
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in the newly released map, has documented 1,271 deposits across 41 states and Puerto Rico, an increase from 684 in its previous count.

Momentum is building for bipartisan permitting reform in the Senate, with business and industry leaders pointing to greater certainty and faster federal reviews as key to unlocking new investment. For mining, a more predictable permitting process is essential to advancing domestic projects, strengthening supply chains and getting American resources into production faster.

The bill would ensure AI data centers are forced to pay for the increased electricity they use and would mark a significant change to a landmark environmental law that critics say slows the process of building energy projects.
The bill, proponents argue, would cut down the arduous timeline for getting big energy projects off the ground at a time when demand is rising because of mushrooming data centers for artificial intelligence.

🚨80% more expensive to buy electricity in states with no coal than states with coal power🚨
@SecretaryWright explains the data: “Across the country, 10 states with no coal versus the 10 states with the most coal-intensive electricity generation. And here, the difference in electricity prices is 80%”.
We love #coal!
"Thank God the President has implemented the policies to increase coal production here in the U.S.," says National Energy Dominance Council Director @jarrodagen.
"The President has put forth the policies to produce more and export more coal. That is great for America."

American mining is back with a BOOM! 💥🇺🇸 Red, white, and blue filled the Minnesota sky as EXIM and @MesabiMetallics marked the opening of America’s first iron ore mine in nearly 50 years! A historic milestone under the @POTUS Administration.

Chairman @JJovanovicUSA detonates the LARGEST Iron Ore explosion in America in 50 years with @MesabiMetallics in Minnesota.
EXIM is proud to support @POTUS’s efforts to reindustrialize America and deliver the American dream 2.0 🇺🇸

Permitting reform remains in focus as lawmakers debate ways to expand reliable power. Plus, India's coal imports hit a 15-month high and Asian economies turn to coal and nuclear as LNG supplies tighten. #NMA_MiningMinute
