Unlocking the Potential of Unconventional Critical Mineral Resources Story Map

A Python Tool for Predicting and Assessing Unconventional Rare-Earth and Critical Mineral Resources

“…

Unconventional Rare-earth elements & Critical minerals (URC) (Creason, 2023) are crucial to a growing number of industries worldwide (Balaram, 2019). Due to their use in manufacturing, Critical Minerals (CM) are essential to economic and national security, yet have supply chains vulnerable to external disruptions (Yesenchak et al, 2022). Unconventional CM are sourced from geologic or byproduct hosts distinctly separate from the mechanisms which establish conventional CM deposits (Yesenchak et al, 2022).

Unconventional CM are sourced from geologic or byproduct hosts distinctly separate from the mechanisms which establish conventional CM deposits (Yesenchak et al, 2022). Unconventional sources for CM include in situ geologic deposits and byproducts of industrial extraction (Yesenchak et al, 2022).…”
