Washington, DC – U.S. Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) today released the following statement after the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) revised the guidance for its Title 17 loan guarantee program to provide eligibility for U.S. mines that will produce critical minerals. The change came after Senator Murkowski repeatedly pointed out DOE’s misinterpretation of federal law that she wrote to make domestic critical mineral projects eligible for its low-cost financing.
“There should be no question that U.S. mines are eligible for DOE’s loan guarantee program, because I wrote the statute to ensure that would be the case. I’m glad the Department has taken my advice, re-read the law, and deemed U.S. critical mineral projects eligible for loan guarantees,” Murkowski said. “This guidance is good, but the job’s not done. What we need now is for the Department to go beyond words, beyond funding projects that lock in long-term mineral imports from abroad, and to instead support domestic projects—in states like Alaska—that will strengthen our economy and security.”
“It’s great to see the Department of Energy recognizing and leaning into the fact that strong minerals supply chains begin in the mine, with extraction. Given that responsible sourcing is a stated priority for the administration, by supporting domestic extraction, DOE will help ensure that the minerals that feed our manufacturing supply chains are produced in accordance with the world’s strongest environmental and labor laws, instead of being sourced from global incumbents with inferior standards. We look forward to seeing this policy gain traction on the ground and hope to see more guidance and programs from across the agencies acknowledge that responsible sourcing starts in American mines,” said Rich Nolan, President and CEO of the National Mining Association.
Congress enacted Murkowski’s American Mineral Security Act through the Energy Act of 2020 and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021. The bipartisan infrastructure law explicitly provides Title 17 eligibility for domestic mines that will increase the production and supply of critical minerals, but despite that, DOE initially determined it could not support mines—just support infrastructure and processing.
At a hearing held by the Energy and Natural Resources Committee in January 2024, Murkowski questioned Deputy Secretary of Energy David Turk about this issue. Turk promised to review the issue, noting he was “happy to talk in depth with [Murkowski] and your staff on this and to work through it.” Murkowski has continued to push administration officials to modify DOE’s guidance since that exchange.

This page is a guide to each Mining District in California. As each district's individual page grows, now that each Mining District in California has a voice here, all members can exchange information so that no one district will be left out of this registry. All voices will now be heard, and NAMD will bring official, up-to-date advice on the departments that oversee mining in this state, so that any intractable or new problems that are stalling the instigation of responsible mining in California can be resolved and dealt with by an active mining district.
NAMD feels strongly that each active mining district must now contribute its opinions to all the regulations that have been preventing us from mining. Un-American elements calling themselves 'eco-conscious' and also are anti-mining are to be firmly exposed as Un-American!

The Subcommittee on Energy and Mineral Resources oversees American energy p
The National Association of Mining Districts was originally started in 1981 by Robert A. Sanregret, a Mine Patenting Attorney from Tustin, California. I was a business partner with Mr. Sanregret for almost 20 years, until his untimely passing away. Mr. Sanregret saw the need to protect and promote the 1872 Mining Laws established at the same time Congress enacted Railroad Districts, School Districts and Water Districts in the United States.
Mr. Sanregret was very active in helping both the small miner as well as large mining Corporations. He wrote “The Government Update” for The International Mining Journal for many years, keeping the mining community abreast of legislative activities in all levels of Government. I gave Mr. Sanregret my solemn promise before his passing, that I would carry on this effort. One of his business affiliates,Mr.Donald Fife,a renown Pro-Mining Geologist ,was also contibuting to Mr. Sanregrets efforts, but I have learned from many sources that Mr. Fife is rejecting any inquiries from many people to help in legal re-activation of Mining Districts, as he may be getting up there in years, and I understand this. So, I have taken up the cause full-time,established this web presence for NAMD, and will continue to disseminate to all those interested how to get underway in this most strategic and critical effort.
As I learned from him the critical importance of the Federal Statues that gave Mining Districts the legal ability to organize and operate their individual Mining Districts, I decided in 1997 that I would begin the process of legally re-activation of dormant Mining Districts. The 1st Mining District I did this for was The Weaver Mining District in Yavapai County, Arizona. See http://www.weavermining.com . I helped form an initial Board of Directors, By-Laws establishing District functions, and successfully recorded the documents with the County seat in Prescott, Arizona. I then informed the Honorable Senator John McCain’s Office of my activities, and within 2 days received an Official letter addressed to me with the new assigned title of ,” George S. Riddle, Intergovernmental Representative for States Mining Districts”, which enthusiastically told me of the importance to organize and continue my efforts. When I showed Mr. Sanregret that letter, he grabbed it out of my hand so fast and proudly exclaimed,” This is an historic document”.
Today, the Weaver Mining District is a tremendous success, benefitting Local, State and Federal Agencies related to Mining. The re-activation of Mining Districts began to spread into other States. Mining Districts were considered the “Lead Agency” in a County by the Federal Government until 1914, when Congress passed a legislative Bill generally referred to as “The Enabling Act of 1914, putting the County seats as the Lead Agency to receive Federal Funding to provide essential Community services, as our society entered the technological age, thus making Mining Districts go dormant, BUT, the Federal Statues in The Code of Federal Regulations in relation to Mining Districts remained intact and unchanged. This is something that the “Anti-Mining” Senators and Government regulators would love to annul or change, but through the activities of The National Association of Mining Districts and other people and Departments,, we have been able to stop them from doing this. Let's start a mining revival= a better American economy,more jobs created.
FUNCTIONS OF A MINING DISTRICT
This is not exhaustive, just a guideline, as each Mining District will require its specific services. Here are some By-Laws found to be the core and essentials for building up your member services.
These are only a few beneficial guidelines to help your re-activated District operate. Many people have complained to me that “What good does all this re-activation do when we are regulated to death”
Here is my answer> I called the Top Legal Department for the BLM and told them what I was doing and what I had done; they wanted specifics, which I answered and clarified. The answer I received was,” In their strictly legal interpretation of the 1872 Mining Law as it relates to ‘Mining Districts’, Mining Districts had no authority to make regulations ‘in conflict with existing Local, State or Federal regulations’, but it did have ADVISORY AUTHORITY SPECIFICALLY.
They then told me, in writing, that as soon as The National Association of Mining Districts was organized to the point when we have an established committee of say approximately 12 men, who would be representatives to Congress and The Legislature on finding solutions to the pending serious bottlenecks that inept Federal Surface Mining Agencies have created, and Officially advise these Lawmakers’ on solutions that work to create responsible mining, and stimulate local economies .Since NAMD is precisely a purely community effort, we , as the BLM, look forward eagerly to getting the factual and intelligent advice that will guide us in making regulations that are in compliance with our Federal Mandate.” So they are waiting for us to get our act together, RIGHT NOW. The reason the EPA and Department of The Interior and other Surface Mining related agencies are not getting things done right, is because we as Mining Districts have been dormant on this valuable means to enact change.
I have found in starting this effort that Miners are by nature, mostly a rogue type personality, somewhat ant-social. Not trusting many, especially those in Government. Even if you have never heard of NAMD or my name Geo. S. Riddle, look at the Federal Statues that I refer you to stand on. I am merely a messenger.
I started this effort in 1997 with John Lacy, the Attorney that wrote the Mining Laws for the State of Arizona, as The Weaver Mining Districts legal counselor so I know my actions will stand under any legal challenges.He is still our Legal Counsel.
There is power in numbers. Let us Unite and protect our mining lifestyles, or give it to the dogs.
There are many immediate areas we need to influence right away. They are>

Chairman Hastings' Floor Statement on Bill Develop Rare Earth & Critical Minerals in U.S.
Hello Everyone
; I am George S. Riddle , February 2, 2025 Chairman for The National Association of Mining Districts, and Inter Governmental Liaison for States Mining Districts. Recently , we have participated in precedent setting Legislation and Pro-Mining collaboration with the highest Levels of anyone or committee, in getting results that will forever change the strangulating process every mine owner has faced in the past , to get into production on their mining claims.
Our freedom to Organize ourselves comes from the 1872 Mining Federal Statues. This is not a club, association or prospectors fraternity . It is a Sovereign United States Agency , operating from the very basis of real time information from the people and companies that own a mining claim. There are many hundreds of dormant Historical Mining Districts throughout the United States, and right now many are following the methods to legally re-activate their individual Districts and a formidable pro-mining legislative constituency is being heard for the 1st time in over a 100 years. As Americans, we can and will , re-invent ourselves to become an example to the world as a leader of productivity from it minerals potential, which has been intentionally muted by 'Un-American' elements that are here among us , to kill, not create jobs. I have been introducing real solutions that will help the mining community get permits to mine faster and easier.
The only reason I speak out here, is that if you are not aware of the fight I am politically winning for the mining community , just ask. I have been actually busy doing the work, instead of drawing attention to me personally, but I have informed some major mining companies and they are joining in unity in these efforts, which benefit everyone.
