Article content
Mr. O’Heeron’s Washington meetings were followed by Representative Paul Gosar’s prominent July 29, 2025 letter to Cabinet Secretaries, Pete Hegseth, Department of Defense, Chris Wright, Department of Energy, Doug Burgum, Department of Interior, and Brooke Rollins, Department of Agriculture. The letter explicitly cites Arizona’s mineral abundance, including the Hay Mountain property, urging federal departments to prioritize, review, and support the state’s mining projects. Rep. Gosar states, “Mineral and mining security is national security. It is my desire that the administration examine these projects and ensure that they reach their full production potential, including by expediting permitting processes or adding them to FAST-41 as applicable.”

Leadership Advocacy in Washington, DC
Article content
In May 2025, Chairman Pete O’Heeron traveled to the nation’s capital for a series of congressional meetings aimed at raising government awareness of domestic mineral opportunities. Meeting with senior officials from the Arizona and Texas delegations, including Rep. Paul Gosar (AZ-9), O’Heeron emphasized the urgent need for robust federal support and expedited permitting for U.S. mineral projects. “The United States is at a critical juncture in securing the minerals that power both our economy and our national security,” O’Heeron stated. “Mineral properties like Hay Mountain offer a domestic solution for critical minerals and government partnerships can unleash their full potential.”

Hay Mountain Project: Arizona’s Untapped Resource
Article content
Located within the legendary Tombstone Mining District, the Hay Mountain Project is emerging as one of the most promising—and underdeveloped—sources of copper, gold, molybdenum, and associated critical minerals in the United States. Ongoing exploration, including Liberty Star’s first-ever diamond core drilling program, has yielded compelling evidence of a large-scale porphyry copper-gold mineral system. Initial deep drill holes, completed in early 2024, revealed elevated values of copper, lead, and zinc, alongside geological alteration signatures that validate further development. The region, rich in strategic metals, is increasingly vital as the U.S. works to reduce dependence on foreign supply chains and deliver on the clean energy transition.
