CORE-CM Initiative for U.S. Basins is a Department of Energy effort whose aim is to develop a more stable domestic supply of rare earth elements and critical materials for which the United States currently relies upon foreign entities.
For the Uinta and Piceance Basins, the University of Utah-led CORE-CM grant team includes the UAMMI and a broad group of industry, government, community, and academic entities. The objectives of this project are to quantify, assess, and plan to enable the Uintah and Piceannce Basin region to realize its full economic potential in transforming resources, such as coal, oil shale, resin, rare earth elements (REE), and critical minerals (CM) into high-value metal, mineral, and carbon-based products.
