Idaho Strategic Locates Greater than 4% TREO’s – Including Over 2.5% Neodymium – From Exploration at Lemhi Pass
COEUR D’ALENE, ID / ACCESSWIRE / January 18, 2023 / Idaho Strategic Sources (NYSE American:IDR) (“IDR” or the “Firm”) is happy to announce the finding of floor outcrops with higher than 4% Whole Uncommon Earth Oxides (TREO’s) throughout its 2022 exploration program at Lemhi Cross.
Within the well-studied Lemhi Cross District, earlier state and federal company work have proven most REE assay values as excessive as 2%. These new IDR pattern outcomes are important as a result of they basically double the beforehand recognized higher finish of assay values as printed within the USGS, IGS and different references. These newest assays lend validation to our firm perception that the Lemhi Cross District is basically underexplored for REE’s; since their discovery within the district was ancillary, to the federal government’s seek for nuclear associated fuels within the 1950’s.
IDR’s Vice President of Exploration, Rob Morgan commented, “Lemhi Cross continues to impress us. It is rather encouraging to see samples having half of their whole uncommon earth component content material coming from neodymium; situated in comparable geological settings and overlaying 1.5 miles in size. A lot of our prospects within the space lie on or close to the Lemhi Cross Fault, which suggests the district could have some REE mineral zonation related to this regionally important fault.”
The listed samples had been gathered from 4 totally different prospects inside IDR land holdings; and are from the northern a part of the Lemhi Cross District. One pattern from Prospect #2 assayed 4.26% TREO; with 2.5% of that worth contributed from neodymium alone. Likewise, one other pattern (Prospect #3) contained 2.35% REE; with 1.21% coming from neodymium.
In Desk 1 beneath, particular person quantities of the REE components are proven. Word the robust neodymium, praseodymiumand samarium.
Desk 1: Lemhi Cross samples displaying uncommon earth components plus yttrium and scandium for TREO.
The dominant REE mineral is monazite. Monazite is a phosphate mineral and most of our strongest REE values are related to phosphorus. This mineral happens as opaque, subhedral, yellow-green to reddish-brown crystals that are largely microscopic in measurement, making it arduous to detect with the bare eye. Gangue minerals related to REE mineralization embody quartz, pink microcline, and iron oxides; resembling specularite and limonite.
Lemhi Cross is on the southern finish of the 70-mile REE-Th Belt, a northwest trending zone that possesses a lot of the REE lode occurrences in Idaho (Determine 1). The corporate has claimed numerous the recognized REE occurrences at Lemhi Cross, which can show to be some of the potential REE areas within the US. In 2022, IDR elevated its land place from round 4,400 acres of unpatented claims to roughly 7,600 acres of unpatented claims; and a further 600+ acres of leased state land.
Idaho Strategic’s President and CEO John Swallow concludes, “It has been superior to look at Rob and Becky break down the world from normal to particular, with a watch towards exploration that solely comes from the specialised expertise gained from precise mineral manufacturing. We’re lucky to have the right mixture of generational data, academia, and economics inside this undertaking. And whereas it’s nonetheless early, for my part this has the earmarks to be a typical of the REE business not just for the Salmon area, however for the state of Idaho as properly.
The topography of the Lemhi Cross space makes it a positive area for mineral extraction; with quite a few prospects probably feeding a conceptual centralized processing plant. In-situ mining strategies, the place earth transferring and floor disturbance are minimalized, are being mentioned for each Diamond Creek and Lemhi Cross. Bioleaching, utilizing natural micro organism as a substitute processing method, is being examined on mineralized materials from Diamond Creek as a part of the IGEM undertaking.”

An Idaho photographer is showcasing hundreds of vintage neon signs that once shone brightly outside popular Idaho landmarks, businesses, and more.
Neon signs were a popular addition to the outside of businesses between 1920 and 1950 – but by the 1960s, businesses steered away from them due to cost.
“I wanted to capture what still remained of all the vintage neon that I had grown up seeing around Boise, many of which were already disappearing at a rapid rate during the 80’s and 90’s,” Photographer Jess Jackson said. “Since the sign industry was already moving away from neon and into bland, generic looking, backlit LED stuff, I wanted to preserve what was left through my photography, before our last examples of the “golden era” of neon disappeared as well.”
From 2006-2012, Jackson took hundreds of photos of neon signs when he drove throughout the state for his job.
“Instead of sitting around in hotel rooms during my off-time, I decided to start looking for neon signs to photograph as a way to pass the evenings since I usually traveled alone,” he said. “That led into exploring some of the smaller, more remote towns and photographing what neon they still had.”
After five years, Jackson had built a large collection of photographs, and he decided to organize the neon sign pictures into the shape of Idaho – called Signs of Idaho.
“The signs I’ve featured are unique in the sense that there are no copies of them,” he said. “You’ll only find the Torch Lounge sign in Boise, the Turf Club in Twin Falls, Buddy’s in Pocatello, or the Corner Club in Moscow,” he said. “Those are local icons that people have attached their own personal memories to and that’s what I think makes them unique and special.”
While several of the signs in the photograph align with the location where they were taken, many do not.
“A lot of areas in Idaho don’t have any neon signs left, where some parts of the state, like Pocatello, Twin Falls, or Boise still have relatively large collections,” Jackson said. “It just became impossible to put these all in their exact location and still maintain the shape of Idaho, which was the primary objective.”
The individual photographs featured in Signs of Idaho can be found on Jackson’s Flickr page.
The Idaho State Board of Canvassers voted unanimously Tuesday at the Idaho State Capitol in Boise to certify Idaho’s 2024 general election results.
The Idaho State Board of Canvassers officially signed off on results of the Nov. 5, 2024, election after noting that none of the election outcomes changed following the county certifications and a random audit of ballots in eight Idaho counties.
In addition to none of the outcomes changing, none of the races in Idaho were within the 0.5% margin that qualifies for a free recount, Idaho Secretary of State Phil McGrane said.
“I’ve been involved in elections for a very long time,” McGrane said during Tuesday’s meeting of the Idaho State Board of Canvassers. “This was truly one of the smoothest elections that I’ve ever been part of – from leading into the election to going through it – and I think it’s really a credit to so many different people for us to be able to hold an election like this. I think the preparation and the very, very cooperative relationship that we have with the counties and the county clerks offices has just been huge.”
The Idaho State Board of Canvassers consists of McGrane, Idaho State Treasurer Julie Ellsworth and Idaho State Controller Brandon Woolf.
Record number of Idaho voters participated in 2024 general election
Tuesday’s vote to certify Idaho’s election results also makes the 2024 general election the largest election in state history in terms of the number of voters who participated. Official numbers released following the canvass show that 917,469 voters cast ballots, beating the previous record of 878,527 from the 2020 general election.
Idaho law allows voters to register to vote and vote on Election Day. Final, official 2024 general election results showed there were 121,015 same-day registrations on Election Day.
The number of same-day voter registrations this year was so large that if all 121,015 voters who participated in same-day voter registration created a new city, it would have been the third-largest city in Idaho, just between Meridian and Nampa.
Turnout for the 2024 general election came to 77.8%, trailing the 2020 general election record turnout of 81.2%.
Certifying Idaho election results sets stage for Electoral College to meet
The vote to certify Idaho’s election results Tuesday helps set the stage for the Electoral College process used to officially vote for the president and vice president of the United States.
“The purpose of today’s meeting, really, is to certify the results as official,” McGrane said. “So up until this point, all of the results have been unofficial for the state of Idaho. That includes everything from the presidential race, federal races and state races.”
Now that Idaho’s election results are official, state officials will send the results to Washington, D.C., McGrane said.
Then, on Dec. 17, Idaho’s electors will officially cast their votes for President-elect Donald Trump in the electoral college.
Idaho has four electoral college votes – one for each of its members of the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate – and all four of Idaho’s electoral votes will go for Trump.
Election audit uncovers poll worker errors, disorganized records
On Nov. 15, the Idaho State Board of Canvassers selected eight random Idaho counties for the audit, the Sun previously reported. The counties selected were Latah, Bingham, Elmore, Bear Lake, Custer, Minidoka, Clearwater and Jerome counties.
On Tuesday, Chief Deputy Secretary of State Nicole Fitzgerald said the audit results matched the unofficial election results completely in Bingham and Minidoka counties. But there were small discrepancies, poll worker errors, hand counting errors, labeling or organizational errors that the audit uncovered in six of the counties audited. None of the discrepancies – the largest of which involved 12 ballots in Elmore County – was large enough to change the outcome of any of the elections, McGrane said during the Idaho State Board of Canvassers meeting and again during a follow up interview with the Sun.
For example, in Bear Lake County, Sen. Mark Harris, R-Soda Springs, lost one vote as a result of the audit, while his Democratic challenger Chris Riley gained one vote in the audit. Election officials on Tuesday attributed the difference to a hand counting error on election night in Bear Lake County. The error did not change the outcome. Final election results show that Harris defeated Riley by a margin of 20,907 votes to 6,062.
In Custer County, Republican Sen.-elect Christy Zito, lost one vote in the audit and her Democratic challenger David Hoag gained one vote due to what Fitzgerald described as an error in the hand-counting process on election night. That difference did not change the outcome either. Final election results show Zito won 17,750 votes to 6,859 votes.
In Elmore County, the audit was off by 12 ballots. Fitzgerald said there were 2,183 ballots reported in the five Elmore County precincts selected for the audit. But auditors only counted 2,171 ballots in the audit, Fitzgerald said.
The 12-vote discrepancy was likely due to issues and inconsistencies with the resolution board process on election night, Fitzgerald said. The resolution board comes in when a ballot is rejected as unreadable by voting machines due to an issue such as damage, stains, tears or some other issue where the resolution board is called in to take a look at the ballot to determine voter intent.
“What appears to have happened was that those ballots were just not very carefully labeled or organized on election night,” Fitzgerald said during Tuesday’s meeting.”It was really difficult for our audit team to determine which ballots belonged in the audit count.”
After Tuesday’s meeting to certify election results, McGrane told the Sun some of the notes and records connected with the resolution board process in Elmore County were handwritten instead of printed.
McGrane told the Sun he believes all votes were counted properly and the issue came down to organization and record keeping and not being sure which ballots should be part of the audit count, which was a partial audit of Elmore County and the seven other counties, not a full audit.
McGrane and Fitzgerald said they do not believe a full audit is necessary in Elmore County, but they said state election officials will follow up with Elmore County election officials about the discrepancies.
“We are going out there and meeting with them so we can identify some opportunities for process improvement,” Fitzgerald said.
The 12 vote discrepancy would not have changed the outcome of any election in Elmore County. The closest race Elmore County was involved in was a District 8 Idaho House race that Rep.-elect Faye Thompson won over her closest rival, Democrat Jared Dawson, by more than 9,800 votes in an election that included three other counties. All but one county level election was uncontested in Elmore County during the 2024 general election.
This is a press release from the Idaho Falls Fire Department
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (IFFD) — The Idaho Falls Fire Department responded to a structure fire early Thanksgiving morning on the 700 block of Reed Avenue.
Around 12:43 a.m., a resident called 911 to report a fire involving a single-story home. The caller also reported that everyone had made it outside.
The Idaho Falls Fire Department responded immediately and arrived within five minutes. The first units on scene reported seeing smoke showing from the house. Firefighters discovered the fire burning in the corner of the home and into the eves.
The fire was quickly extinguished and firefighters worked to ensure the fire did not spread further into the home.
Both Idaho Falls Power and Intermountain Gas were called to secure utilities.
In total, seven people and a dog were displaced as a result of the fire. There were no injuries to firefighters and one civilian was evaluated on scene by paramedics but was not transported to the hospital.
IFFD responded with three engines, two ambulances, a ladder truck and a battalion chief.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation by the Idaho Falls Fire Department Fire Prevention and Investigation Division. The total amount of damages is estimated at $30,000.
IFFD also responded to another fire call Thursday morning around 4 a.m. It was reported that a resident in a home on Camrose Street awoke to the sound of a smoke alarm. They discovered another resident in the home had been smoking and sustained injuries when a fire ignited. The fire was out before IFFD arrived, but one adult was transported to Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center.
With Thanksgiving underway, IFFD reminds residents to prioritize fire safety this holiday by staying vigilant in the kitchen and to cook safe. Nationwide, Thanksgiving is the peak day for home cooking fires, with more than three times the daily average for such incidents.
