BATTLE MOUNTAIN, Nev. – The Bureau of Land Management, Mount Lewis Field Office (MLFO) has completed its analysis of McEwen Mining Inc.’s proposal for the Gold Bar Project (Project). The Project will be located approximately 30 miles northwest of Eureka in the Southern Roberts Mountains in Eureka County, Nevada and is expected to create 120 new jobs.

The Record of Decision (ROD) was signed on November 7, 2017 and allows operations to begin at the Gold Bar site. The Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS), made available for public review on October 7, 2017, included four alternatives that examined the mine’s range of potential impacts to natural resources in the area, such as water resources, air quality, vegetation, wildlife, livestock grazing, recreation and cultural resources. The BLM’s preferred alternative is the Proposed Action, which includes a number of environmental protection measures and is in line with BLM priorities, including working with our partners to promote multiple-use on public lands, promoting job creation and supporting working landscapes.
