Lithium discovery in US volcano could be biggest deposit ever found

Not really, we actually train much of the world's mining snd petroleum experts. Many of the people around the world that do this stuff were trained at the various "A&M" or "...School of Mines".

The issue is that much of the work ends up being overseas or all over the world. If you go to any mine site in the world, I guarantee you will find American trained Mining/Geophysics/etc engineers

Source - I went to the Colorado School of Mines and most of my friends and acquaintances from school work in those 2 industries.

Sure .. alongside Scots, Russians, South Africans, Australians, Norwegians, and all the other non US mining engineers.

The Canadian TSX is the global centre for listed public mining, Anglo-Australian mining companies dominate there.

No one is going to deny the Colorado School of mines their little corner of the pie but they haven't hit "much of" in a clear majority sense by a long shot.

Agreed. I was never trying to say it's the whole pie. I'm replying to a parent comment that implies the US has a big deficit in this kind of skill and training, which isn't accurate.
