NEW COMPETITIVE AGREEMENT WITH CORNELL UNIVERSITY UNDER FOA DE-FOA-0002707 (MINER) AND CONTROL NUMBER 2707-1502 PROJECT TITLE: ''SUPERCRITICAL CO2 BASED MINING FOR CARBON-NEGATIVE CRITICAL MINERAL RECOVERY.'' THIS PROJECT WILL DEVELOP THE FIRST INTEGRATED TECHNOLOGY AND COMPREHENSIVE SUITE OF METHODS FOR IN SITU SUPERCRITICAL CO2-ENHANCED MINERAL RECOVERY (SCCO2-EMR) AND PERMANENT CARBON STORAGE VIA CARBONATE MINERALIZATION OF MAFIC-ULTRAMAFIC FORMATIONS. THIS TECHNOLOGY ADDRESSES THE NEED FOR COST-EFFECTIVE TRANSFORMATIVE TECHNOLOGIES TO DECARBONIZE THE MINING INDUSTRY, ADDRESS DEPLETION OF HIGH VALUE ORE GRADES, MINIMIZE HAZARDOUS LEGACY OF TAILING PILES, AND ULTIMATELY DEVELOP A RESILIENT SUPPLY CHAIN OF DOMESTIC ENERGY-RELEVANT MINERALS.
