New Mining Land Rules and Abandoned Mine Fund Established
This act introduces new rules for locating land needed for mineral processing, allowing for multiple such sites. It also establishes a dedicated fund, financed by maintenance fees from these sites, with the money allocated for reclaiming abandoned mine lands. The goal is to clarify regulations and provide resources for environmental protection.
Key points
Allows for the establishment of multiple "mill sites" on public land for mineral processing, potentially streamlining mining operations.
Creates an Abandoned Hardrock Mine Fund, financed by maintenance fees from mining claims, to fund the cleanup and reclamation of old mining sites.
The new rules do not grant mineral rights or alter existing environmental protection laws and land withdrawal provisions.
