## Resource

Audrey Robertson, Assistant Secretary of Energy, blew up dynamite in a Montana mine to show how critical minerals mining is being reimagined — and why hands-on training at places like Montana Tech’s underground lab is vital for America’s future. Part of the DOE’s Prospect Initiative, this effort trains the next generation of miners and engineers while developing new tech like in-situ leaching to extract resources without blasting. With grants and real-world research opportunities, students are building the workforce needed to secure U.S. supply chains — from ore to manufacturing — and ensure national security through innovation deep underground.
