Locksley和哥伦比亚大学正在加利福尼亚El Campo场地开发可持续的稀土采掘,以减少美国对外国资源的依赖。 Locksley and Columbia University are developing sustainable rare earth extraction at California’s El Campo site to reduce U.S. reliance on foreign sources.

Locksley Resources与哥伦比亚大学合作, 开发可持续方法, 从加利福尼亚莫哈韦沙漠的El Campo前景中提取稀土, Locksley Resources has partnered with Columbia University to develop sustainable methods for extracting rare earths from its El Campo prospect in California’s Mojave Desert, near the Mountain Pass mine. 该项目由Greeshma Gadikota教授牵头,旨在促进美国国内国防、电动车辆和清洁能源的关键矿物生产,减少对中国等外国资源的依赖。 The project, led by Professor Greeshma Gadikota, aims to boost U.S. domestic production of critical minerals for defense, electric vehicles, and clean energy, reducing reliance on foreign sources like China. 早期取样发现高等级稀土氧化物,包括和,是高性能磁铁的关键。 Early sampling found high-grade rare earth oxides, including neodymium and praseodymium, key for high-performance magnets. 这项工作支持一项3.55亿美元的联邦供资倡议,并利用先进的加工技术,以以前与大米大学的研究为基础。 The work supports a $355 million federal funding initiative and builds on prior research with Rice University, using advanced processing techniques. 钻探活动将进一步评估该场址的潜力。 A drilling campaign will further assess the site’s potential.
