In November 2025, the USGS added boron to the official federal list of critical minerals. This exhibit looks at borax production, from Death Valley to the U.S. Borax/Rio Tinto mine in Boron, California, where most of the borates produced in the USA are extracted from the largest open pit in the state. On view at CLUI Los Angeles starting December 26, 2025 Open Friday, Saturday, and Sunday 12 noon – 5 pm.
Come see a creative look on the mining industry and learn about critical materials.
