The @IDGeoSurvey has mapped and researched ore deposits across #Idaho to guide miners toward valuable #CriticalMaterials that are crucial for national security, industrial development and technological advancements. INL is proud to support ➡️ inl.gov/integrated-ene…

Interviewing @IDGeoSurvey's Claudio Berti is always a treat because you get off-the-cuff prose like, "Natural beauty is always underlined by some very strong forces that actively shape it, and sometimes those forces need to be carefully lived with.”
