US Gold Corp CEO George Bee recently joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion to discuss the latest developments at the company's CK Gold Project in Wyoming. Bee emphasized the strategic advantages of the project's location, noting Wyoming's resource-friendly environment and robust infrastructure. The state supports mining activities, aligning well with US Gold Corp's operations and making it a favorable jurisdiction for the project.
Bee elaborated on the environmental benefits of the CK Gold Project, highlighting the absence of hazardous chemicals and smokestack emissions. The mining process involves extracting rock, processing it into concentrate, and shipping it to a smelter, thereby minimizing environmental impact. Additionally, the project employs a dry stack tailings system to recycle water, addressing water scarcity issues and avoiding the risks associated with traditional containment dams.
US Gold Corp has already secured an industrial siting permit and a conditional mine operating permit, contingent on obtaining water discharge, reclamation bond, and air quality permits. The first two conditions have been met, and the air quality permit is expected soon.
Next steps for the CK Gold Project include integrating permitting conditions into engineering studies and engaging with local suppliers. The project's proximity to major highways and cities facilitates access to equipment and skilled labor, enhancing its attractiveness and feasibility. Bee concluded by expressing confidence in the project's progress and its potential benefits to the local economy and environment.
