Alaska Energy Metals<\/a> has partnered with the Colorado School of Mines and Virginia Polytechnic Institute to research the carbon sequestration potential of ultramafic rocks and tailings at its Eureka nickel deposit in Alaska.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The research will be performed under the umbrella of the Center to Advance the Science of Exploration to Reclamation in Mining, a premier joint research center between the two colleges, supported in part by the United States National Science Foundation and the United States Geological Survey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cU.S. domestic mining is essential for both the electrical energy expansion and for U.S. national security,\u201d said Alaska Energy Metals President & CEO Gregory Beischer. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor these reasons, we have intentionally begun to study and assess the use of modern technological innovations like ultramafic mine tailings carbonation at the early stages of the development phase of our project.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The research is expected to deliver:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
