McKinsey Lyon works for Perpetua Resources and works to explain the plight that the United States is in with its critical minerals. Currently, the US relies on a number of other countries for roughly 50 critical minerals that are vital to either our economic or defense abilities, and some of these countries, like China, have started halting the sale of these critical minerals to the US. We have enormous mineral stores within our country but have established a regulatory and activist environment that delays or halts mineral extraction and independence. This was an incredibly eye opening conversation and definitely the first of many. Enjoy!

It’s also home to many law enforcement agencies, like Ada County and Canyon county Sheriff offices, Idaho State Police, Eagle Police Department, Meridian Police Department, and many more. The school systems in the area are also quite diverse. Boise school district and West Ada School District, though right next to each other, are quite different.
