Concerned Well Owner's Sign-Up Form

Are you a property owner or renter whose home or business is located above, or within ½ mile of the mineral rights area owned by Rise Gold? Do you rely on well water for drinking or irrigation? If so...

YOUR WELL MAY BE AT RISK IF THE IDAHO-MARYLAND MINE IS REOPENED.

​Rise Gold, a junior mining company with questionable experience, has applied to reopen the Idaho-Maryland Mine. The Nevada County Board of Supervisors is expected to vote on it by mid-2023. If successful, they will get a permit for 80 years of mining. Potential impacts could include damage or destruction of wells within or near the mineral rights area, which could be very costly and time consuming to replace.​

We have formed a group of well owners to:

* Demand well testing to establish a reliable baseline for monitoring any changes.

* Require Rise Gold to post a bond to cover all costs if wells are damaged or destroyed.

* Make sure a clear process is established to quickly resolve problems if they occur.

* Raise public awareness about the potential danger to our wells if the mine opens.
​
Rise Gold has committed to pay for connection to an alternate water source for 30 wells in a specific neighborhood based on what we believe to be a highly flawed risk analysis. Well owners within or near Rise Gold's mineral rights area need protection too. To determine where your property is in relation to the area of Rise Gold's mineral rights, refer to the mineral rights map.
