(2) identify new deposits of strategic and critical mineral resources; and
(3) facilitate the transfer of information, studies, and technologies developed by the center to the private sector.
(c) CriteriaThe Secretary shall establish the center referred to in subsection (a) of this section at a university that—
(1) does not currently host a generic mineral technology center;
(2) has established advanced degree programs in geology and geological engineering, and metallurgical and mining engineering;
(3) has expertise in materials and advanced processing research; and
(4) is located west of the 100th meridian.
(d) Authorization of appropriationsThere is authorized to be appropriated such sums as may be necessary to carry out this section.
