What's happening? In their next phase of destructive gold exploration, Canadian company K2 Gold, through its subsidiary Mojave Precious Metals, LLC, is proposing to build 2.7 miles of brand new roads and 1.1 miles of overlanding routes to access 30 different drill sites and drill 120 holes on Conglomerate Mesa. The total impact is estimated to be 12.2 acres, more than 61 times as much as K2 Gold’s previous exploration activities. On July 30, in an official news release, the Ridgecrest Bureau of Land Management (BLM) announced the formal opening of a 30-day public scoping comment period on K2 Gold’s/Mojave Precious Metals, LLC's mining proposal. This provides an excellent opportunity to make your voice heard and share why you want to see Conglomerate Mesa protected. This 30-day scoping comment period ends two weeks from today, on Monday, August 30th! Access all relevant BLM documents here. What can I do?

Friends of the Inyo and our partners on the Protect Conglomerate Mesa Coalition (ProtectConglomerateMesa.com) have developed materials to make your public commenting easy, efficient and timely, including a comment writing guide ("tip sheet") with important information about the landscape, persuasive arguments against drilling, deadlines to keep in mind, and more. 3 Easy Steps to Writing and Submitting Comments - Use the button below to download our Conglomerate Mesa Action Alert Tip Sheet to help you (it also contains a link to the BLM comments page).
