Resolution supporting the exploration development, processing and refining of critical minerals

This bill is a non-binding resolution that expresses support for the exploration, development, processing, and recycling of critical minerals within Montana. It highlights the state's existing mineral deposits and aims to encourage local and federal agencies to advance projects that secure domestic supply chains for technology, energy, and defense needs. The resolution does not create new laws or funding but serves as a formal statement of intent to promote responsible mining activities aligned with environmental and safety standards. Copies of the resolution are sent to federal officials to signal Montana's commitment to strengthening national critical mineral security.
