Surprise discovery under sands of Utah desert

Incredible surprise discovery under sands of Utah desert that could give US military huge edge over China

Some 16 different types of high quality minerals were uncovered in a 74,000 square foot mining site in Provo. Those discovered include lithium, alumina, germanium, rubidium, cesium, vanadium and niobium, the Journal reported.

I'm dubious. The fact that there are valuable minerals in the Utah desert is not news. This feels less like a surprise discovery and more like someone trying to milk the current administration for support, as the bottom of the article points out that the USA is currently trying to get more mining going.

That point on the map is also a bit south of where suburban development ends, which would make it fairly valuable real estate as the metro area expands. So I got online to confirm whether it really was owned by the mining company. I know from my prior days doing my own prospecting in that area that most of the land there is public, owned either by the feds or the state. Funny thing - that specific parcel doesn't show the owner on the Utah county parcel map. It is just a blank spot in the data. But it does have historical photos and shows that the dig site at that point has been there since at least 2015, so this could be new finds, but the dig site is definitely not new.

It could be true - it could be a new find on land owned by a private company. I cannot prove otherwise, but something smells a little fishy here.
