Low-level helicopter flights are scheduled over Wyoming and northern Colorado for up to one month as part of a collaborative project by the USGS and state geological surveys. The initiative aims to map critical mineral resources and improve geological mapping.

Flights will cover parts of Routt, Jackson, and Larimer counties in Colorado, and Carbon and Albany counties in Wyoming. The airborne electromagnetic survey will provide subsurface images to enhance geological knowledge and is part of a two-year project expected to conclude in 2026.
