Need a different pub to show, other than Utah Mining 2019 for a banner. I kept the code block in there, but the content slider is in there too with the same info. We'll need a link to that last "card" of info - Historic Metals

Just need to add Critical Minerals of Utah banner in the space Jackie mentioned.

Utah has a rich metals mining history that has been integral to the development of the state since the 1860’s.

Utah has a rich history in mining metals that has been integral to the development of the state since the 1860’s.

The total historical value of metal mining in the state is valued at over $215 billion, placing Utah as the third largest metal producing state in the United States.

Major mining districts in the state include the Bingham Canyon, the Tintic, Park City, the Iron Springs, the Lisbon Valley, the Mercur, and the Spor Mountain districts

Ranked in order by the most valuable metals for Utah are copper (+$100 billion), gold, molybdenum, silver, lead, and iron ($5–55 billion), zinc, uranium, beryllium ($1–5 billion), and vanadium, manganese, and tungsten ($5–150 million).

Bingham Canyon is primarily known for its copper production, but also produces molybdenum, gold, and silver and in the past has produced lead and zinc.

Utah is also the fifth ranking state in the United States for iron ore production, and is one of the only states to have produced germanium and gallium.

Utah is also ranks fifth in the United States for iron ore production, and is one of the only states to have produced germanium and gallium.

But sediment-hosted gold districts, like the Mercur district, produced only gold.

Uranium’s main application is as fuel for nuclear energy, whereas vanadium is used mainly for metallurgical purposes, such as in high-strength low-alloy steel.

DONE -all wording changes applied

MDH Comments: Intro paragraph, first sentence: Delete the apostrophe in “1860s”. At the end of the paragraph, add a colon after “are”.

Daneros mine photo caption: There is a “by Roger Bon” credit that’s been inserted in the middle of “Upper Triassic Chinle Formation.” Recommend deleting the photo credit (see earlier comment about photo credits; perhaps only include them if the photographer is from outside the UGS).

Metals, last paragraph, last sentence: Change “Utah is also ranks fifth” to “Utah also ranks fifth.”

Metal Resources -- Gold and Silver, fourth sentence: Delete “has” after “also” (...but also have uses…)

Metal Resources -- Beryllium: Can the numbers in the chemical formula be subscripted?

Metal Resources -- Other Historic Metals: In last sentence, delete “use” (...please search the UGS…)

External Links (at bottom of page): Delete the comma after “Gas” (Division of Oil, Gas and Mining). Fix spelling of “Association” (Utah Mining Association).
