BLM Launches Interactive Tool to Map Critical Minerals on Public Lands

The Bureau of Land Management has released an online Critical Minerals Screening Tool that lets users view areas on public lands with known critical mineral deposits. The tool is intended to speed responsible development of these resources and reduce reliance on foreign sources. Hunters should note that the mapping of mineral sites may influence future land management decisions, including potential changes to access routes or usage priorities on some BLM lands. Stay informed about any updates that could affect hunting areas.
