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.
