Red Arrow gold mining permit gets yanked

State regulators revoked Red Arrow Gold Corporation’s mining permit Wednesday after the company failed to follow orders to clean up an illegal, mercury-tainted mill just outside Mancos.

Red Arrow also lost its permit for a mine near Silverton.

The company already had been slapped with numerous fines and a cease-and-desist order after state inspectors found an unpermitted mill that used mercury to extract gold from ore just northeast of Mancos town limits.
