UPDATE: SEPT. 15, 2020

The South Dakota Department of Environment and Natural Resources has given notice that Mineral Mountain Resources (MMR) of Canada has applied for a new gold exploration permit. In South Dakota, companies need to apply and check off a few boxes, and then the state gives them a permit. There is no public comment opportunity and no way to intervene in the process. This permit is known as EXNI 435.

The exploration is planned for an area about one mile east of Rochford in the central Black Hills, in the general area where MMR has explored before. The proposed exploration area includes a stretch of the Mickelson Trail, which is used by hikers and bicyclists, and could be visible from Rochford Road. Like the company’s past exploration, it is within a few miles of Pe’ Sla, an important Lakota cultural site.

The permit is for 45 holes with depths down to 5,000 feet below ground. The project would include about a mile of new trails. MMR says that mining exploration liquid wastes will be left in a plastic-lined hole to evaporate, then the plastic will be removed and the hole filled. There are questions about what would happen to the liquids in the hole, if there was a major rain or snow event and whether the liquids will evaporate in the winter.
