Vancouver B.C., Jan. 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TERRA CLEAN ENERGY CORP. (“Terra& or the “Company&) (CSE: TCEC, OTCQB: TCEFF, FSE: C9O0) welcomes the recent announcement by Governor Cox of Utah unveiling “Mission Critical& a mine-to-market state strategy for critical minerals, built with clarity, speed, and responsibility. The state plans to approve five mining projects in 2026 and to bring a national lab to Utah by 2031 making Utah the No. 1 destination for critical mineral extraction and processing in the United States.
In late 2025, uranium was added to the U.S. Government&s list of critical minerals deeming it vital to the U.S. economy. Being on the critical minerals list can influence federal as well as state policy in several ways including:
- Fast track permitting
- Domestic mining and processing incentives
- Prioritization in national security and supply chain strategies
- Potential eligibility for funding and government grants
In addition to capturing 25% of the critical mineral market share, “Mission Critical& seeks to cut permitting timelines by 50% and to ensure that 50% of minerals extracted in Utah are processed in Utah. “I&m working on significantly lowering the time frame that it takes for permitting, in both the mining area and processing of critical minerals& Cox said “While still keeping people safe. We can do both of those things.&
With past producing uranium mines in the U.S., Terra will no doubt benefit from the sweeping new legislation as it develops its portfolio of U.S. uranium assets& said Greg Cameron CEO. “I strongly believe that 2026 will be the year of uranium and with uranium assets in Utah and additional uranium claims being staked, Terra will have a significant portfolio of U.S. Uranium assets, with a particular focus on Utah to complement its Fraser Lakes B uranium deposit in the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan.&
