- This $427,699 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to improve the understanding of how copper accumulates in significant concentrations, particularly in porphyry copper deposits. The project will test models of porphyry copper deposit formation by studying deposits in Sonora, Mexico, and develop geochemical tools to aid in the discovery of new copper deposits. The research will also train a Latino early-career scientist, a...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award in the amount of $342,692 will support an academic-industry collaborative research project to develop new methods for exploring and discovering copper-nickel-sulfide mineral deposits in the United States. The project team from the University of Michigan and Juniata College, in partnership with mining industry professionals, will test the hypothesis that the ratio of copper isotopes in ground and...
- The National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) awarded a $281,067 Project Grant to Chico State Enterprises for the project "RUI: Investigating the Relationship Between Magmatic Processes and Copper Mineralization at the Lights Creek Stock". The 3-year project, starting August 1, 2023, will investigate the temporal and geochemical relationship between magmatic processes and copper mineralization in the Lights Creek Stock pluton in northern California. The research...
- This $257,390 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research by the University of Texas at Austin to investigate the formation, transport, and deposition of economically important metals in the lower continental crust. The project will focus on studying variably metasomatized magmatic sulfide deposits in the Ivrea-Verbano Zone in Italy, which formed in the deep crust and were tectonically uplifted. The research aims to better...
- The National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) awarded a $417,924 project grant to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to conduct collaborative research on deciphering the origin and timing of silver enrichment in high-sulfidation epithermal mineral deposits. The 3-year project, which commenced on Sep 1, 2025, will investigate the geological and geochemical controls on silver-rich zones within these economically significant copper, gold, and silver deposits....
- The National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) has awarded a $159,632 project grant to the University of Wisconsin-Madison to conduct collaborative research on the origin and timing of silver enrichment in high-sulfidation epithermal mineral deposits. The research team will focus on the Filo del Sol deposit in Argentina, which is a newly discovered world-class source of critical and precious metals like copper, antimony, arsenic, gold, and silver. This project aims to...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $615,305 Project Grant entitled "GEO-CM: PROSPECTING FOR CRITICAL ELEMENT DEPOSITS: AN INTERDISCIPLINARY APPROACH USING EXPERIMENTAL GEOCHEMISTRY AND FIELD-INFORMED MODELING OF SEDIMENT TRANSPORT" to the University of Rochester. The grant aims to develop new tools and methods to help geoscientists locate undiscovered deposits of critical minerals, such as cobalt, niobium, and tin, that are essential for...
- This $102,546 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences (CFDA 47.075 - Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences) to the University of Arizona funds a collaborative research project reconstructing the early history of mining and long-distance trade of metals, such as copper and tin, within a region that saw the origins of metallurgy between approximately 400 and 1750 AD. The project focuses on indirectly reconstructing precolonial...
- The University of Southern California (USC) received a $550,260 project grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences program to study the distribution and properties of inert copper in seawater. The 3-year project aims to: 1) Determine the rates of exchange between inert and labile forms of copper, 2) Characterize the stable isotope composition of copper, and 3) Understand the relationship between inert copper and dissolved organic matter. The work will build upon the principal...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $371,002 to Utah TECH University supports a collaborative research project to investigate the processes by which the lower crust and mantle lithosphere are removed through detachment and sinking, known as "foundering," and the impact of such processes on the geologic record. The project focuses on the Southern Puna Plateau in northwest Argentina, where multiple lithosphere removal events...
