ELKO — The Bureau of Land Management, Tuscarora Field Office released the Final Environmental Impact Statement for Waterton Global Mining Company, LLC’s proposed Hollister Underground Mine Project on Friday.

The proposed project would be an addition to the Hollister Development Block Project Plan, located between Elko and Battle Mountain at the old Ivanhoe or Hollister open-pit mine site.

The proposal would transition the existing underground exploration into an underground gold and silver mining operation. The project would create 222 acres of surface disturbance on both private and public land, with approximately 117 acres of new surface disturbance.

The BLM will issue a Record of Decision after the 30-day review period for the public. Copies of the Final EIS are available at the BLM Elko District Office, located at 3900 Idaho Street. Copies are also online at www.blm.gov/rv5c.

Questions concerning the project can be directed to Janice Stadelman by calling 753-0346 or sending an email to [e-mail].
