In response to citizen's lawsuit Headlight staff reports DEMING – The U.S. Bureau of Land Management has told a federal court in New Mexico that it “intends to withdraw” its decision to allow the development of a dolomite mine on public land in the Florida Mountains south of Deming, New Mexico. A Motion for Stay of All Proceedings in Case Number 2:20-cv-00924, filed January 11, 2021, states that a new decision will be issued at some point in 2021, according to the New Mexico Wilderness Alliance. American Magnesium has sought approval to mine the dolomite, believing it contains magnesium that could be extracted and sold, since early 2017. It originally proposed to transport the dolomite several miles across the city on a conveyor belt to a production facility proposed for the north side of Deming, but later conceded that the rock would need to be transported on trucks, at an estimated 92 daily trips.
