US Geological Survey conducts fieldwork at Ucore`s Bokan Mountain Heavy Rare Earth project :
Thursday, September 02, 2010 :

The USGS team examined multiple areas comprising the Bokan Complex, the Dotson Shear, Geoduck, Wennie, and Geiger zones. Research was also conducted at the Sunday Lake zone, an area which has yielded among the highest HREE grades on record for a North American rare earth deposit, said Ucore.

Terbium and dysprosium are of particular interest, as they are among the most scarce and valuable metals in the world, and have been found in anomalously high grades in the Bokan area.

"The U.S. government is quite interested in these minerals because they are of military importance," said Dr. Anthony Mariano, an expert in rare earth mineralogy who was involved in the USGS fieldwork.
