Landmark, I been doing some digging on and off and I found some interesting information i been puting together. I tought some of you may like. I posted this morning and it go's with that post. A highly respected Washington, DC-based defense think tank known as Business Executives for National Defense (BENS) conducted a careful analysis of the relative criticality of the initial list of 35 critical minerals.
Their findings? These are the top three most critical minerals: (1) Rare Earths; (2) Scandium; (3) Niobium. Titanium was listed as the 24th critical mineral.
In short, not only will the Elk Creek Critical Minerals Project produce all critical minerals, it will produce the top three most critical minerals for the US.
