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....
This $1,575,000 Cooperative Agreement awarded by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the Earth Mapping Resources Initiative (CFDA 15.073) will fund geologic mapping and mineral resource assessments in the Steese region of Alaska. The project will generate new geological data, including a geologic map, rock descriptions, chemical analyses, and age estimates for the targeted area. This information will be used to better understand the region's potential for critical mineral deposits, such as...
This Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the Earth Mapping Resources Initiative (CFDA 15.073) provides $330,000 in funding to The University of Iowa to map the thickness, extent, and rare earth element enrichment of the Graf Phosphorite formation in northeastern Iowa. The project aims to generate detailed geological and geochemical maps of the Ordovician-aged phosphate deposit, which previous investigations have shown to be a potentially significant...
The California Department of Conservation is awarded a $456,954.10 Cooperative Agreement from the U.S. Geological Survey under the Earth Mapping Resources Initiative (CFDA 15.073) to conduct geological mapping and geochemical analysis in areas with potential for lithium resources in southeastern California.
