Locksley Resources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 Resources 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的稀土开采方法, Locksley Resources has partnered with Columbia University to develop sustainable rare earth extraction methods from its El Campo site in California’s Mojave Desert, near the Mountain Pass mine. 该项目与一项3.55亿美元的美国政府供资倡议相配合,旨在促进国防、电动车辆和清洁能源的关键矿物的国内生产。 The project, aligned with a $355 million U.S. government funding initiative, aims to boost domestic production of critical minerals for defense, electric vehicles, and clean energy. 早期样品显示出高品位稀土氧化物，包括关键的钕和镨，研究重点是低冲击加工技术。 Early samples showed high-grade rare earth oxides, including key neodymium and praseodymium, with research focusing on low-impact processing techniques. 这项努力以以前与稻谷大学开展的工作为基础,并支持减少对外国来源的依赖,特别是中国对外国来源的依赖的国家目标。 The effort builds on prior work with Rice University and supports national goals to reduce reliance on foreign sources, especially China.
