Many people in Grass Valley live and work over the Idaho-Maryland Mine without realizing it. A lot of information about the location of the two surface sites and the project features has been circulated, but not much has been shared about the sheer size of the project underground and how that may affect us.
The underground mineral rights of Rise Gold are massive, covering 2,585 acres. They extend north as far as the edge of Glenbrook Basin. To the south they run to Highway 174. On the east side they extend under the entire airport area, and on the west they run completely under Sierra Nevada Memorial Hospital.

The opening salvo in what figures to be a long engagement between owners of a gold mine, nearby residents and county officials arrived on a cordial note Tuesday.
The San Juan Ridge Mining Corp., led by CEO Tim Calloway, is attempting to reopen a gold mining operation, located near North Columbia, which last operated between 1993 and 1997.
The Nevada County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a contract with Rancho Cordova-based environmental consultant PMC for about $180,000 to conduct a comprehensive environmental analysis of the proposed mining project.
Gary Parsons, president of the San Juan Ridge Taxpayers Association, attended Tuesday’s meeting with about 25 residents to express concerns about the impact the mining project will have on the local community.
