American Rare Earths Partners With University Of Wyoming

DENVER, CO – American Rare Earths, through its fully owned subsidiary Wyoming Rare (USA) Inc., in partnership with the University of Wyoming (UW) School of Energy Resources (SER) has been selected for a Seed Translational Acceleration of Research (STAR) Project award. This competitive funding, provided through UW’s National Science Foundation (NSF) Accelerating Research Translation (ART) award, will advance the assessment of potential byproducts associated with rare earth elements at the Halleck Creek Project in Wyoming.
“The intent is to fund projects on a milestone-driven basis with usable outcomes for the industry partner at the end of the project,” says Parag Chitnis, UW’s Vice President for research and economic development, and the principal investigator of the ART grant. “These projects will serve as a basis for training graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, while simultaneously advancing tangible research that directly impacts development projects in Wyoming.”
