that's the kapacke mine info. one of the three mines bayport owns.
one of the four mines mentioned in the report

Kapacke Mining, LLC
9123 Placer Bullion Las Vegas, NV 89178

The mining claims in question are located in the historical Osceola Mining District, perched along the western flank of the Great Basin National Park, at the west-northwest end of the mouth of Mary Ann Canyon, at approximately 6,400 feet above mean sea level on an alluvial fan in an area known as Hogum. This bench receives approximately 9-12 inches of precipitation a year falls on this slope mostly in the form of snow. All current mining operations cease for the winter from late November to March due to the amount of snow and below freezing temperatures.

the huge mine is called mary ann for a reason. they got two mines in mary ann canyon i'm not sure about the last one

2.2.3.4. Kapacke Mining
Kapacke Mining, LLC submitted a PoO to the BLM Schell Field Office on October 1, 2010 to conduct open pit placer mining on 13 mining claims, totalling 780 acres at Hogum, owned by
G.E.M. Inc. Kapacke Mining disturbed three acres of public land under a notice-level operation from 2009 to 2010. They exceeded the limits of a notice-level operation and submitted a PoO in accordance with 43 CFR 3809.11(b) mining regulations. Kapacke proposes to disturb up to 100 acres of previously disturbed public land on the seven MAV-5 claims (A-G) and four Solomon claims (#1, #2, #3, and #7) to mine gold over the next 10 years. However, since Kapacke is unable to post a reclamation bond for all 100 acres at this time, mining will be conducted in 5 to 10–acre increments. A plan amendment, bond review, and a cultural clearance would be required each time a new area is to be mined.
Kapacke plans on continuing the excavation of an existing pit dug in the 1980’s and 1990’s on the MAV-5G and setup the processing plant on the MAV-5F claim located in Section 23,
T. 14N, R. 67E.
Kapacke has requested occupancy on a 1/2–acre of the Solomon #7 claim to setup temporary living quarters for the crew and store equipment in an existing metal shed building. All disturbances would be adequately bonded for reclamation purposes including the metal shed’s removal.

2.2.6.4. Kapacke Mining Operation
Kapacke Mining proposes to revamp the Alta Gold 6,000-ft pipeline and use it to pump water uphill into storage ponds. Water used in their processing would be recycled by returning it to a second holding pond, where it can be reused to minimize water and electricity consumption. However, until the operation can grow in size to warrant the cost associated with repairing the pipeline, Kapacke proposes to use the excess water draining down from the Dig M Excavation operation on to the MAV 5-G claim. Two holding ponds would be built in cut material within a previously disturbed area mined by Alta Gold and possibly prior mining operations.

2.2.7. Power Source
An existing powerline, owned by Mount Wheeler Power (MWP), runs uphill from section 23 to section 26 along the Alta Gold water pipeline. It continues uphill to supply power to Dig M Excavation’s and Salisbury’s operations. Kapacke Mining would eventually make use of the powerline for their operation, as well. However, during their notice-level exploration phase, they used a diesel-powered generator for their power needs. A generator would be used in the beginning stages of their mine plan, until production reaches the need for a more economical power source.

ironically we own Mount Wheeler H2O not sure if there is a connection

Kapacke proposes to house his workers in 2–3 campers and trailers down the hill on public land and occupy an existing metal shed constructed by the previous operator. They will assume the responsibility of the shed and bond for the removal. TJL has two trailers and numerous pieces of equipment on private land down the hill where they process their ore. No TJL equipment is stored on public lands.

so much for me being on vacation.
