The Utah Critical Infrastructure Materials Coalition announced a partnership with Burgex Mining Consultants as an associate member to bolster support for Utah’s construction aggregate industry. The Coalition represents Utah producers and is dedicated to ensuring a sustainable supply of construction – a critical material necessary for the state’s continued growth. As local reserves are increasingly depleted, production is being pushed further from high-growth areas, driving up transportation and construction costs.
This partnership brings Burgex Mining Consultants’ market intelligence and analysis expertise to the Coalition. Burgex, a recognized leader in the aggregate industry, has pioneered the development of Mineralocity Aggregates, a GIS-based market analysis platform that revolutionizes understanding the impact of per capita demand and aggregate-intensive capital projects.
By leveraging Burgex’s advanced data insights, the Coalition will be better equipped to assess the current and future state of Utah’s aggregate industry, allowing stakeholders to make informed decisions to help avoid significant cost escalations in construction.
“Burgex is thrilled to join the Utah Critical Infrastructure Materials Coalition,” said Crystal Burgess, CEO and co-founder of Burgex Mining Consultants. “As a Utah-based company, we are especially excited to support an industry often misaligned and overlooked despite its critical role in our growth. Our partnership aims to provide the essential data and market insights needed to navigate the evolving landscape of Utah’s construction aggregate industry.”
The Coalition’s partnership with Burgex Mining Consultants is a strategic step forward in addressing the growing challenges Utah’s aggregate industry faces. Together, they will work to ensure that data- driven solutions guide the sustainable management of resources, helping to control costs and support the state’s infrastructure needs.
