Curious how Malpais Mesa became wilderness, but Conglomerate Mesa, very close, did not.
Chris Clarke
02:22:45
Sally: there's a botanist frm Rancho Santa Ana that has been doing so! We can send around a link to a recent presentation of hers.
Sally Kaplan

Kevin: I believe it was the potential for gold extraction that kept CM from getting Wilderness designation.
Ruth Nolan

Is it correct that extraction at CM would be the first time that a corp has sited a large-scale, heap-leach operation at a location that has not been previously mined in CA?
davidmcmullen
02:39:15

there was a proposed gold mine near the Imperial valley was in the southern area near AZ - the 2nd was defeated maybe 20 years ago
Kim Stringfellow
02:50:29
Briggs was located at a historic mine. CM hasn’t been mined at all.

With LAWP obligated to “rewater” Owens Lake, is there any way they would have interest one way or the other in this project?
Kim Stringfellow
