With various mining investments across the US in aggregate pits.

We have invested heavily in construction aggregates and precious metals. Primarily in crushed stone, sand, and gravel. Aggregates form the base of roads, and highways. Underpinning our transportation road and highway network. As a base material underneath highways, walkways, airport runways, parking lots and railroads.
To aid in water filtration, purification and erosion control.
As a raw material used in combination with other resources to construct many of the items we rely on to sustain our quality of life. These include:
-Houses and apartments
-Roads, bridges and parking lots
-Schools and hospitals
-Commercial buildings and retail space
-Sewer systems
-Airports and runways
