- 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 (NSF) awarded a $556,772 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to Texas A&M University for the project "Investigating the Interplay Between Magma Source, Thermal History, and Fault Reactivation in the Colorado Mineral Belt". The project will investigate the geologic controls on economic mineralization, with a focus on critical minerals and rare earth elements, in the Ouray, Colorado region. Key activities include chemical analyses...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $270,013 to the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) to investigate the processes that concentrate critical metals in porphyry copper deposits. The principal objectives are to assess the spatial and temporal variation in ore-forming processes, with a focus on using pyrite as a recorder of changes in metal sources and fluid compositions. The research team, which includes graduate and...
- 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...
