As President of the McCall Area Snowmobile club, access to Idaho’s backcountry is very important to me. This corner of Idaho is worth exploring and I get outside as often as I can – especially in the winter. I have been very impressed by the Midas Gold team. Not only have they been willing to work with local recreationalists, like me, but they have actively sought out feedback from us to incorporate it into their plan. As the company works to figure out the best route to get employees to and from the mine site, they have worked with Valley County residents to figure out how their routes may impact snowmobilers and other outdoor enthusiasts, as well as community members. Throughout this process, they have shown how dedicated they are to doing the right thing to not only get this project permitted, but to be a true success. Every employee I’ve worked with has been genuine and sincere and I believe them when they say they will leave the Stibnite Gold Project site better than they found it. I support Midas Gold and I am excited to see the economic opportunities their project will bring to our community.

My family has a long history with the Stibnite Mining District. My grandfather, who was a carpenter, moved to the mine site in the 1930s to help build houses in the camp. My mother and Aunt were raised in Stibnite and lived there until they started high school. I made my first trip to the mine site when I was just six months old and I’ve been camping in the area ever since. In fact, when it came time for my husband and I to retire, we felt the pull of the region and decided to make Yellow Pine home. As the nearest community to Midas Gold’s Stibnite Gold Project, we know there is a lot at stake. We came to this community because of its beauty and serenity. We bought our property before we knew Midas Gold was thinking of mining the site again. Thankfully, we believe Midas Gold is the type of company who can do things differently and finally create a project that will restore Stibnite to its true splendor and repair the damage of the past. Living in Yellow Pine, I know many of the company’s employees by name and have seen their commitment to being good neighbors. They help us maintain our roads, are always willing to lend a helping hand and have worked hard to become active members of our town. Whenever we’ve had concerns about the project, Midas Gold has listened to us and worked with us to develop solutions that benefit the entire community. Midas Gold is doing things differently. They’re doing right by their neighbors and their actions have won my support.
