CuMo mine exploration project update
The Canadian mining company, American CuMo, is making a third bid at permitting related to their molybdenum and copper claims in the headwaters of Grimes Creek, a major tributary of the Boise River. At this stage, the company is applying for an exploration permit to obtain a detailed assessment of its claims in order to justify their plan to develop one of the largest open-pit mines in the world.
