BLM seeks input on Bald Mountain Mine proposed expansion in White Pine County, Nevada
BLM opens a public comment period for consideration of the Bald Mountain Mine proposed expansion. The Bald Mountain Mine is in northwestern White Pine County, Nevada, approximately 60 miles southeast of the city of Elko, Nevada and 60 miles northwest of Ely, Nevada. The proposed Juniper Project Amendment would add nearly 4,000 acres to the existing open-pit gold mine operation and extend the life of the mine by 11 years.
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land located primarily in 12 western states, including Alaska, on behalf of the American people. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. Our mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of America’s public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations.
