A plane is scheduled to fly over the Llano Uplift to search for critical minerals, including graphite, tantalum, niobium, and tungsten. This airborne survey is a collaborative effort between the U.S. Geological Survey's Earth Mapping Resources Initiative and the Texas Bureau of Economic Geology. The survey measures the natural magnetic field and low-level radio isotopes emitted by minerals.
