The U.S. Geological Survey Invests Millions To Map Critical-Mineral Resources In Alaska
PublishedThe U.S. Geological Survey will invest more than $5.8 million to map critical-mineral resources in Alaska in partnership with the Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys.
“I’m pleased to announce more investments from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to improve mapping of Alaska’s geology and critical mineral resources,” said. “From the Yukon-Tanana region in the East to the Kuskokwim River in the West, we are working with the entire state of Alaska to assess domestic resource potential and secure a reliable and sustainable supply of critical minerals.
The Earth MRI investments will enable airborne geophysical surveys of the poorly mapped Kuskokwim River region of western Alaska. This region was chosen by the Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys and the USGS for its critical-mineral potential, including commodities like antimony, cobalt, gold, rare earth elements, tin, tungsten and other minerals. The new airborne geophysical survey will also support future geologic mapping efforts in the Kuskokwim River region of Alaska.
“This latest investment builds on years of successful scientific partnership between the USGS and the State of Alaska,” saidto these new Earth MRI surveys, this research exemplifies the value of our science to state and Federal policy makers, industry and the Nation.”
