Alaska has significant occurrences of rare earth elements (REEs), titanium, and lithium: 1. **Rare Earth Elements (REEs)**: - REE deposits are present in several locations, including Prince of Wales Island, Mount Prindle, and Windy Fork. Notable sites include Bokan Mountain, which hosts 4.79 million metric tons of REE resources, and other areas like Salmon Bay and Stone Rock Bay[1][5][8]. - The Windy Fork placer deposits in Southwest Alaska contain rare earths along with niobium, titanium, and zirconium[8]. 2. **Titanium**: - Titanium-rich beach sands are being explored along the Gulf of Alaska coast, particularly in the Icy Cape area. These sands contain up to 3% valuable heavy minerals[2]. - Other titanium prospects include the Kemuk deposit in Southwest Alaska and the Crystal Creek site, which is a titanium and gold mine[6]. 3. **Lithium**: - Lithium mineralization has been confirmed at the Coal Creek prospect in the Chulitna Project area, located between Anchorage and Fairbanks. The site shows broad zones of lithium-rich granite with potential for further exploration[3][7]. These findings highlight Alaska's potential as a source of critical minerals essential for modern technologies. #AlaskaMinerals #CriticalMinerals For Rare Earth Elements (REEs): #RareEarthElements #REE #BokanMountain #PrinceOfWalesIsland #MountPrindle #WindyFork #SalmonBay #StoneRockBay For Titanium: #Titanium #IcyCape #GulfOfAlaska #Kemuk #CrystalCreek For Lithium: #Lithium #CoalCreek #ChulitnaProject Additional relevant hashtags: #MiningAlaska #MineralExploration #CriticalMetals #MineralResources #AlaskaResources #MiningIndustry Citations: [1] https://dggs.alaska.gov/webpubs/dggs/ic/text/ic061.pdf [2] https://www.miningnewsnorth.com/story/2018/10/01/in-depth/critical-minerals-alaska-titanium/5367.html [3] https://www.miningnewsnorth.com/story/2022/10/14/news-nuggets/assays-confirm-alaska-lithium-discovery/7597.html [4] https://pubs.usgs.gov/publication/ofr20191023E/full [5] https://www.miningnewsnorth.com/page/alaska-is-rich-in-critical-rare-earths/5750.html [6] https://westernmininghistory.com/mine-detail/10308605/ [7] https://www.theassay.com/news/discovery-alaska-firms-up-coal-creek-lithium-potential/ [8] https://www.miningnewsnorth.com/story/2020/12/31/critical-minerals-alaska-2020/north-to-alaska-for-rare-earth-elements/6487.html [9] https://digital.akbizmag.com/issue/february-2023/wanted-3-billion-tons-of-minerals-and-metals/ [10] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOK3I2BaAPE
