flag Locksley Resources and Columbia University are developing sustainable rare earth extraction at California’s El Campo site to reduce U.S. reliance on foreign sources.

flag Locksley Resources has partnered with Columbia University to develop sustainable rare earth extraction methods from its El Campo site in California’s Mojave Desert, near the Mountain Pass mine. flag The project, aligned with a $355 million U.S. government funding initiative, aims to boost domestic production of critical minerals for defense, electric vehicles, and clean energy. flag Early samples showed high-grade rare earth oxides, including key neodymium and praseodymium, with research focusing on low-impact processing techniques. flag The effort builds on prior work with Rice University and supports national goals to reduce reliance on foreign sources, especially China.
