Case Study

SWCA Partners with MAG Silver to Advance the Deer Trail Exploration Project

Tucked away in the serene confines of the Mount Baldy Mining District lies the Deer Trail Mine, a site that was initially discovered in 1878. Nestled within the Fishlake National Forest in Utah, this mine is a testament to the region’s mining heritage, boasting a rich history that spans generations.

Over the years, stewardship of the Deer Trail Mine has changed hands many times. However, it was in 2019 that MAG Silver Corporation, operating under the banner of Deer Trail Mine, embarked on a new chapter. They reached out to SWCA, previously listed on the past Division of Gas and Mining permit, to forge a new partnership.
