Ann: US Federal Grant for West Desert Critical Metals Study, page-70

The West Desert deposit in Utah is the only deposit in the U.S. with a modern National Instrument 43- 101 (NI 43-101) compliant resource estimate of indium (Dyer and others, 2014), and over 56 million ounces of indium have been estimated within the deposit (InZinc PEA 2014). Only 35% of drill samples used in the 2014 PEA were assayed for indium, suggesting that the scale of the indium endowment at West Desert is potentially much larger than currently defined.

Indium is considered a critical and strategic mineral because of its use in the aerospace, defense, energy, and telecommunications sectors.

In 2021, the U.S. was a 100 percent net importer reliant on indium from China, Canada, Republic of Korea, and France (U.S. Geological Survey, 2022).



No indium was produced in the United States in 2021. The West Desert deposit is the only established domestic resource of indium and is ideally positioned to potentially provide long-term supply of this critical metal to the US market.

I am here for the copper but I keep posting about this crazy sht I didn't even know I owned . lol
