Boise River Greenbelt Truss Bridge

An open-pit mine planned upstream of #Boise

Canadian mining company to make another run at exploration for the potential and controversial CuMo Project open-pit mine

by John Robison, March 8, 2023

"In the highlands between Charlotte Gulch and Grimes Creek, Canadian-based mining company CuMoCo is hoping to gain approval from the Forest Service to construct up to 13.3 miles of new roads and drill 259 holes up to 3,000 feet deep for a mining exploration project. This project, called the CuMo Mine Exploration Project, is hoping to find sufficient copper (Cu) and molybdenum (Mo) to justify one of the largest open-pit mines in the world – all within the precious #BoiseRiver watershed.

"In 2011, Canadian mining company Mosquito Gold proposed an extensive drilling plan in the mountainous area in the headwaters of #GrimesCreek. Local and downstream communities were alarmed as mining is the number one #polluter in the United States and even mining exploration can have adverse impacts. The Boise River is a precious resource – it provides more than 25% of Boise’s #drinking water supply and helps irrigate over 300,000 acres of cropland."
