Executives from Perpetua Resources, American Rare Earths and Westwin Elements told the Reuters NEXT conference in New York that the U.S. government should release a comprehensive minerals plan, pressure Indonesia to trim nickel production, and speed up the time for the U.S. Export-Import Bank and other agencies to approve loan funding, among other steps. "We need an industrial vision," said Melissa Sanderson, a director at American Rare Earths, which is working to build a rare earths mine in Wyoming.
