Hyperenriched black shale (HEBS) deposits are a globally important resource for base, strategicand preciousmetals. In northern Yukon, thin (3 to 40 cmthick) HEBS deposits occur sporadically over 1000s of km at the Road River GroupCanol Formation contact. The deposits in each loion share lithological and geochemical characteristics (particularly NiZnMoPGE enrichment).

The growth in technological innovation that has occurred over the past decades has, in part, been possible because an increasing number of metals of the periodic table are used to perform specialized functions. However, there have been increasing concerns regarding the reliability of supply of some of these metals. A main contributor to these concerns is the fact that many of these metals are ...

Critical and Strategic Minerals

 · According to the United States Geological Survey's 26th Annual Mineral Commodity Summaries report issued February 2, U. S. dependence on imported minerals continues to grow. Imports made up more than onehalf of consumption for 46 nonfuel mineral commodities and the United States relied entirely on imports for 17 of those. Of those 17, 14 are identified as critical minerals. .
