A former client of President Trump’s Chief of Staff Susie Wiles and megabundler Brian Ballard saw its stock price skyrocket last week following the signing of an executive order on mining.
On March 20, Trump signed an executive order titled “Immediate Measures to Increase American Mineral Production,” aimed at boosting domestic mining and reducing U.S. reliance on foreign critical minerals like copper, uranium, and gold. Invoking the Defense Production Act, the order is designed to expedite permitting procedures, accelerate mineral mining on federal lands, and increase project funding, with a stated goal of enhancing national security and economic growth.
