Midas Gold Idaho wants to keep the community informed about the work we are doing at the Stibnite Gold Project site. The Ask Midas blog series gives the experts in our company a chance to answer some of the community’s most frequently asked questions and help clear up any misconceptions around the project.
The history of the Stibnite Mining District is important to understanding why we have proposed our project the way we have. We think the best way for people to understand why we want to restore the site is to come and see the Stibnite Gold Project site for yourself this summer.
HOW CAN I VISIT THE STIBNITE GOLD PROJECT SITE?
Every summer, when the roads are no longer muddy and the weather has warmed up, we invite community members to join us on a tour of the Stibnite Gold Project site. On the tour, we show guests the former Stibnite town site, the Yellow Pine Pit, the former Meadow Creek Mine and mill site, as well as the location of the legacy tailings and heap leach facilities. At each of these stops, we share the history of the site and point out the legacies that have been left behind.
Tours are offered on a first-come, first-serve basis and leave from McCall, Cascade and Yellow Pine. To find out the dates of the tours this summer and to reserve your spot, call (208) 669-2380 or email [email protected]. Typically, we leave Cascade or McCall at 8:00 a.m. or Yellow Pine at 10:00 a.m. and return to Yellow Pine by 3:00 p.m., and Cascade or McCall a couple of hours later. We also provide snacks, lunch and water. If you have a group larger than 10 people, we may be able to set up a special tour date just for you and your group. We hope you’ll consider joining us this summer!
