RARE EARTH ELEMENT PROSPECTS AND OCCURRENCES IN UTAH
"The Calf Canyon deposit is about 6 mi due south of Escalante and the Dave Canyon deposit adjoins it to the south. Crudely estimated average grades from surface rock chip samples for these deposits run from about 7 to 15.8% ZrO2 and 11.85 to 20.9% TiO2 (Doelling, 1975; Gloyn and others, 1997). A bulk sample of this deposit had grades of 12.4% ZrO2, 18.8% TiO2, and 14.7% Fe (Dow and Batty, 1961). Two channel samples of the deposit by Doelling (1975) ran 0.09 and 0.15% Th equivalent. Gloyn and others (1997) suggest the Calf Canyon deposit may host over 300,000 short tons of Ti-Zr ore. No REE values are available for the Straight Cliffs TiZr deposits and they all lie within the Grand Staircase - Escalante National Monument."
Interesting detail in #26.
Besides this. You have no Idea how MAGA this is getting, I am stunned, every day win, after win after freakin win.
You all have hit on this, we are buying all this "stuff" from the ChiCom's and we got it here it is time to get it, and these are strategic assets. I once had a private conservation w/ a freeper that noted the reason we don't have small gas turbines in things like our cars ( I think it is the Reynolds Number issue and "choking" because of it but let that go ) is that rich liberals had already bought up the rare mineral lands and were sitting on them, waiting biding their time.
I also have an old friend I need to have lunch with it has been too long, a bit of a conspiratorial guy. He noted we have had a false economy since I think Ike as we stopped counting our raw materials ( maybe more so like timber copper, iron etc ) as part of our wealth and viewing as a strategic asset. I am sure this would warm his heart.
I am stunned, this was done after most of the umpa-loopa's in the House and Senate went home is my guess. They will be left goob-smacked.
