Reliable Ore Characterization with Keystone Sensing (ROCKS)
Department of Energy
Description
The Reliable Ore Characterization with Keystone Sensing (ROCKS) program by ARPA-E aims to speed up the process of evaluating ore deposits for critical minerals, such as rare earth elements (REEs), that are crucial for modern energy technologies. Currently, assessing the feasibility of a mine can take years. ROCKS seeks to develop new tools that can characterize ore deposits in just a few months, making the process faster, more accurate, and cost-effective. This will not only enhance domestic…
