To illustrate, allow me to detail the next gold mine to be born in the U.S. A detailed proposal has been sent to the U.S. Bureau of Land Management for a new gold mine, the Keiwit Project, in Toole County, Utah. It would be the first ever built in the region. Its operators hope to process millions of tons of ore over six years in order to extract gold, silver, and arsenic from the rock. But to do it, they’re going to need to ship in over ten thousand gallons of cyanide from Nevada.........
“cyanide would be trucked to the site from Nevada from a company with employees certified in safety procedures for handling the compound. At the Kiewit site, a lined, 12,000-gallon tank of the material would sit inside a secondary container on top of another liner.”..............
