Description

SWCA started working with MAG Silver at the Deer Trail Mine when MAG Silver purchased the property in 2019. MAG Silver is conducting an exploration project of a Molybdenum-Copper Porphyry system in Piute County Utah. Drilling is occurring on both patented and unpatented land. SWCA supported permitting on patented lands with the Utah Division of Oil, Gas & Mining, and on USFS lands associated with the Fishlake National Forest. Project elements include baseline data collection concerning biological, water resources, and cultural resources.

Project components consist of construction of new access roads, drill sites, and associated ancillary facilities. SWCA supported development of a preliminary groundwater model to meet USFS requirements. SWCA prepared an Exploration Plan of Operations and also supported the USFS with two Environmental Assessments and two Categorical Exclusion Assessments to analyze impacts to air quality, water quality, wildlife resources, cultural resources, soil resources, and geology. SWCA has also assisted MAG Silver in completing their Notice of Intent.
