This Cooperative Agreement award, provided by the U.S. Geological Survey under the Earth Mapping Resources Initiative (CFDA #15.073), is intended to characterize and map the critical mineral potential of central Kentucky. The $372,803 award, effective September 1, 2024 through August 31, 2027, will fund the collection and analysis of rock and soil samples to better understand the distribution, geological context, structural controls, and mineral associations of critical minerals in the region....
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) awarded a $462,228 Cooperative Agreement to the University of Illinois under the Earth Mapping Resources Initiative (CFDA 15.073) program. The agreement supports three key objectives: Mapping of historic fluorspar mine waste tailings in the Illinois-Kentucky Fluorspar District, including geochemical and mineralogical analyses of 155 newly collected samples. This will create a comprehensive geographic database and map of the mine waste sites and their...
This $451,225 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Kentucky Research Foundation will support collaborative research to explore new sources of rare earth elements (REEs) in the Southeastern U.S. The project aims to investigate the provenance and delivery of the REE-bearing mineral monazite from the Appalachian Mountains to the Atlantic Coastal Plain. Researchers will utilize advanced analytical techniques such as mass...
