This is a list of countries by chromium ore production in 2023, based on the United States Geological Survey. [1] Chromium is a chemical element that is designated by the symbol Cr and has an atomic number of 24. It is usually found as the mineral chromite, from which ferrochrome is produced in a smelting process.
The dam was built in a forested, scenic and narrow valley of the Salmon creek, which runs from Salmon Creek Reservoir and flows southwest for 3 miles (4.8 km) to the Gastineau Channel. The dam (marked as Juneau B-2 in USGS maps) is located at the terminus of the tram-way that was built specifically by the Alaska Gastineau Mining Co. The tram ...
After the Camp Fire in 2018, which burned almost 19,000 buildings, researchers found elevated levels of lead, zinc, calcium, iron and manganese in the smoke. Some metals traveled more than 150 miles.
The chromium extracted from chromite is used in chrome plating and alloying for production of corrosion resistant superalloys, nichrome, and stainless steel. Chromium is used as a pigment for glass, glazes, and paint, and as an oxidizing agent for tanning leather. [27] It is also sometimes used as a gemstone. [28]
The rare Alaska cedar is found in patches around the Salmon River Meadows. [7] The upper reaches of the river support cutthroat trout.

In 1986 the State of Alaska agreed to fund and take ownership of a road (DeLong Mts. Transportation System) from Red Dog to the coast, and a shallow-water port site. Also in 1986, residents of Kotzebue and 10 other area villages voted to form the Northwest Arctic Borough, to be economically based on taxing the Red Dog mine. Construction of the ...
A never-before-seen ore containing vast quantities of an element widely used in semiconductors has been found in China in a discovery that could propel new advances in battery technology.
