• Explore rare earth mineral and manganese deposits within the Sidney Resources claims and maximize the processes of recovery for these ore bodies.
• Federal grant funds are abundant, and a number of collaboration opportunities exist for these projects.
• Pilot and commercialize a leaching and recovery technologies that can be used for the Perpetua mine in Idaho and many additional mining sites worldwide.
