Mountain Pass geochronology data
By Conferences and Trade Shows
2022 (approx.)
Detailed Description
Zircon U-Pb geochronology results for alkaline silicate rocks from “Site 1,” located 500 m northeast of the Mountain Pass mine pit. Uppermost panels show all age data, concordant and discordant. Middle panels show concordant age data with calculated concordia ages. Bottom panels shown error-weighted mean ages and probability density functions for concordant age data. From Watts et al. (2022).

Multidisciplinary Investigations of REE Mineralization at Mountain Pass and in the Southeast Mojave Desert, California
In this time of increased focus on renewable energy technologies, rare earth elements (REEs) are of critical importance. For example, neodymium (Nd) is a REE used in the generator and motor magnets of wind turbines and electric vehicles. Reliance on REE imports puts the U.S. at high risk for supply disruption. The project will integrate geology, geophysics, petrology, geochronology, and economic...
