Exploration Proposed On and Around Buckhorn Mountain
Exploration Proposed On and Around Buckhorn Mountain
Kinross, under the name of Echo Bay, has submitted plans that, if approved, would open up 10,000 acres to extensive exploration on an expedited timeframe on federal and state lands.
As part of the scoping stage of the process, public information meetings were held in December and January in Oroville, Chesaw, and Republic.

Action Alert
The Tonasket Ranger District of the Forest Service is accepting comments for an environmental analysis of the Echo Bay Exploration, Inc. proposal to develop a groundwater supply well for exploration drilling. The proposal would drill a 600-ft borehole in fractured bedrock, and conduct airlift testing during drilling, to determine where water-producing fracture zones are present. In order for the Marias Creek Pump Test to provide useful results, the test points need to be relevant and the methods should be suitable to generate the information needed to ensure adequate environmental protection.
