Chemical risks: <br /> Chemicals that will be used in specified processing include: <br /> -Potassium Amyl Xanthate-2,250 Ibs onsite <br /> -Methyl IsoButyl Carbinol-900 Ibs <br /> -Generic anionic emulsion flocculent-450 Ibs <br /> That's 3,600 pounds of chemicals to be stored onsite and refreshed as needed. How do these chemicals <br /> interact with the ore taken from the mine and what measures are taken to prevent impact to the surrounding <br /> area and town? <br /> Reclamation: <br /> Only$261,813 has been reserved for reclamation of the"affected area"when the mine shuts down.This <br /> appears to be a very low number for the size of the site(82 acres). It also has not been adjusted for inflation. <br /> Funds to solve problems: <br /> We are not aware of allocated funds to address an unexpected fire,explosion, pollution leakage,or power <br /> outage.Again, not being a U.S.corporation, how would they handle unexpected disasters?We have no <br /> confidence that they wouldn't just pull out and leave our area with the fallout. <br /> Gold Mine? <br /> This permit application is for a gold mine. Gold is a luxury, not a necessity. It seems like a high environmental <br /> risk for a luxury. <br /> The request: <br /> PLEASE do not approve this mining permit application!The application does not have sufficient assurances <br /> that a long-term disaster will not happen or that short term significant problems can be prevented or resolved. <br /> Permit Number* <br /> Enter valid letter and then numbers,for example M122112211 or C123456789. <br /> M2021046 <br /> Permitting Action Type <br /> Select revision type or leave blank if comment pertains to a new permit application or NOI <br /> Permit Type <br /> County <br /> Fremont <br /> Enter one county only <br /> Site Name <br /> Dawson Gold Mine <br /> Perm ittee/Operator Name <br /> Zephyr Gold USA Ltd <br /> ADDITIONAL INFORMATION <br /> Are there supporting photos, maps, or documents you wish to upload? <br /> Yes • No <br /> By submitting this form electronically you agree to receive any/all follow up correspondence from the Division of <br /> Reclamation, Mining,and Safety at the email address you have provided. <br />
