Ever since Cedar Strat was incorporated in 1984, it has advanced the Great Basin geological survey that was initiated by Shell Company in the early 1950’s. Dr. Chamberlain’s 15-minute keynote address at Heartland Institute’s 2017 America Energy First Conference in Houston gives a small taste of how the survey can be used to find oil and gas prospect leads Click here for Video.

Mineral prospect leads

Cedar Strat geologists collected more than 5,000 samples of potential oil and gas source rock while they measured sections and mapped mountains during the last four decades. More recently Cedar Strat analyzed more than 1000 samples and found many of them containing elevated concentrations of precious and critical minerals. Therefore, these samples are prospect leads to sediment-hosted ore deposits including gold, silver, vanadium, and other critical minerals.

Mineralized sand

Glacial dust deposited from continental glaciers eroding Canadian Shield potassium feldspar granitic rocks greatly enriched America’s midwestern breadbasket soils. Extensive farming has depleted the essential mineral content of these once very fertile soils. Farmers are mitigating the resulting decrease in yield and crop quality by applying increasing amounts of nitrogen fertilizer to help their crops squeeze the remaining minerals out of the soil. As a result, the cost of farming and the amount of pollution from runoff are increasing and the quality and yield are decreasing. Putin’s war on Ukraine, which was a major global source of nitrogen fertilizer, and the Biden Administration war on American oil and gas has exasperated the problem and caused the price of natural gas, the source of nitrogen fertilizer, to greatly increase.   Dr. Chamberlain, who also has a degree in botany, has discovered a source of mineralized sands, like the midwestern glacial dust, that can be used to remineralize the soil.
