Montana Tech is leading a $6 million NSF-funded initiative with western universities to revolutionize how America extracts critical minerals—using AI to scout optimal sites and microbes to extract rare earth elements from coal waste. The four-year project aims to boost domestic supply chains, cut foreign dependence, and train the next generation in Alaska, Montana, and Wyoming.
