NV5 Awarded $10 Million in Critical Mineral Geospatial Projects by U.S. Geological Survey
HOLLYWOOD, Fla., Dec. 16, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — NV5, a provider of technology, certification, and consulting solutions, announced today that it has been awarded $10 million in contracts by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) to provide high-precision geospatial services to support essential geological research across multiple regions. These contracts will provide USGS with the critical data needed to advance the Earth Mapping Resources Initiative (Earth MRI) program, supporting the identification and management of critical minerals in the United States. Demand for critical minerals is growing to support the energy independence transition, and identification of domestic sources reduces dependence on international suppliers.
“The increasing importance of geospatial data in supporting vital mineral exploration highlights the growing need for advanced data acquisition and analysis,” said Kurt Allen, President, Geospatial at NV5. “As the leader in geospatial data analytics, NV5 is proud to partner with USGS on these initiatives and contribute to the advancement of critical mineral resources management, which plays a key role in the nation’s economic growth and resource security.”
NV5 was awarded a contract to acquire and process high-precision magnetic and radiometric data across 11,100 square miles in Western Texas, expanding upon the existing Trans-Pecos survey to include Big Bend National Park and key critical mineral regions. NV5 will also conduct a high-precision magnetic and radiometric survey using fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters across 7,300 square miles of New Mexico.
In Michigan, NV5 will conduct a high-resolution geophysical survey and analytics using electromagnetic and magnetic data to image geological structures and assess critical mineral potential in Lake Superior. NV5 will also acquire and process high-precision geophysical data of 22,000 linear miles in the Colorado Mineral Belt.
