Today, we’re celebrating the signing of our Mine Plan of Operations authorizing activities on federal Forest Service land.
For our community, this represents more than a project milestone. It’s about creating local opportunities, building strong workforce, and responsibly developing the resources that will be needed for the future.
It was a pleasure hosting special guests for this signing event on site including USDA Deputy Secretary Stephen Vaden, Permitting Council Executive Director Emily Domenech and U.S. Forest Service Regional Forester Michiko Martin.
