Here’s a source for critical minerals — hiding in plain sight: The federal government should invest in ways to recover what mines are already producing. - "Every year, metal mines in the U.S. excavate and process millions of tons of rock to extract a handful of primary metals, such as copper, iron, gold, silver, zinc, nickel and molybdenum. The rock is ground into tiny particles and processed with chemicals or heat; then the leftovers are dumped into waste sites. This potentially toxic material must be stored and monitored in perpetuity.
"Today, most mining operations extract just a small percentage of what is in the rock: copper at about 0.5 percent, gold at around 0.0001 percent. Everything else is left unrecovered, including critical minerals that the American economy desperately needs, such as rare earths, gallium, germanium, nickel and cobalt.
"But there’s a better way: It’s possible to extract more critical minerals during the process, like squeezing more juice out of a lemon before throwing it away. Doing so would provide domestic resources and leave behind cleaner, more stable waste that is easier to repurpose."
