Manage episode 365470558 series 3482443
When the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law was passed in late 2021, the U.S. Geological Survey received an influx of funding to support the mapping of areas with potential deposits of critical minerals. Since then, Nevada has hosted a series of geological mapping surveys, the latest of which was an electromagnetic survey recently completed in the McDermitt Caldera region last month.
