House Joint Memorial No. 21 expresses the support of the Idaho Legislature for the development of the IMA tungsten mine by American Tungsten, emphasizing the importance of tungsten as a critical mineral for national defense and the need for a stable domestic supply chain. The memorial highlights Idaho's historical mining significance and the potential economic benefits of the IMA mine, which is located on private land and will not require federal permits. It underscores American Tungsten's commitment to environmental stewardship, community investment, and job creation in Idaho.

The memorial calls on state agencies and local governments to expedite the approval process for the IMA mine and urges the U.S. Department of War and the Defense Industrial Base Consortium to provide grant funding for the project. By supporting the mine's development, the Idaho Legislature aims to enhance national security, stimulate local economies, and ensure that Idahoans have access to high-paying job opportunities.
