A U.S. critical minerals company has recently confirmed the nationrCOs largest known tungsten resource at its Railroad Valley Minerals Project
in Nye County, Nevada.
The deposit is reportedly five times larger than the biggest tungsten resource currently listed in the US and comes at a time when the country relies heavily on imports for the strategic metal. Its in-situ value is estimated at about USD 152 billion based on current market prices.
The report also confirmed another 31 million tons of measured lithium carbonate equivalent, 533 million tons of measured potash, and 87
million tons of measured borate minerals within the same salt complex.
Combined, the resources feature an estimated in-ground value of USD 3.5 trillion.
At current consumption rates, the resources could provide the U.S. with tungsten for hundreds of years, 3PL said. The Railroad Valley project
spans approximately 39,000 acres and covers an extensive sodium-rich
salt basin in eastern Nevada.
rCLWe now have a measured, world-class deposit of multiple critical
minerals in one basin and the one discovery that surprised even us is tungsten,rCY Kevin Moore, 3PL CFO and Chairman, highlighted. rCLThis is a metal the US stopped mining a decade ago and now imports while China controls and manipulates the global market.rCY
The Railroad Valley minerals occur as dissolved salts between 1,200 and 2,800 feet underground. The company plans to recover them with solution mining, a process that pumps fluids underground to dissolve minerals
before bringing them to the surface for processing.
This would require surface facilities covering about 80 acres,
eliminating the need for large open pits, waste rock storage, as well as acid processing plants commonly associated with traditional mining operations.

Well now that you have all the minerals you need maybe you can lay off the

How big is this if the amounts are accurate?
Grok:
"A cube of pure tungsten from this 1.78 million metric ton deposit
(density 19.25 g/cm-|) would have sides of about 45.2 meters, or roughly
148 feet."
That 1.78 million metric tons is about 40% of all the tungsten ever
mined in all of history.
They'll probably decide that it's too environmentally damaging to mine it.

Ownership of Canada's Potash Mines
U.S. Ownership Status
The U.S. does not own Canada's potash mines.
All active potash mines in Canada are located in Saskatchewan and are primarily operated by Canadian companies.
Key Facts About Potash in Canada
Production and Reserves
Canada is the largest producer of potash globally, holding approximately 31% of the world's total production.
Saskatchewan contains the largest known deposits of potash, estimated at 1.1 billion tonnes of recoverable resources.
Economic Impact
The potash sector significantly contributes to the Canadian economy, generating substantial tax revenues and providing thousands of jobs.
In recent years, the industry has paid billions in taxes, supporting various social programs.
Export and Trade
Over 90% of the potash produced in Canada is exported, with the U.S. being
a major importer.
Canadian potash is vital for global food security, as it is essential for fertilizer production.
In summary, Canada's potash mines are owned and operated by Canadian entities,
with no U.S. ownership involved.
