Idaho Families for Clean Water

Two Mining Projects Threaten Health of Boise River

Please attend the Idaho Families for Clean Water presentation on the CuMo mineral exploration project in the Grimes Creek watershed and the Atlanta Gold exploration project in the Middle Fork Boise watershed.

January 25, 7:00pm, MK Nature Center, 600 S. Walnut Street, Boise, Idaho.

There is important information to share about both mineral exploration projects.

* Atlanta Gold Company continues to discharge arsenic-laden water to a tributary of the Middle Fork Boise River. Kristin Ruether, Advocates for the West, will report on the court action against Atlanta Gold.

* Local groups have sued the Forest Service for allowing Mosquito Gold to expand exploration activities without adequate enviornmental review. Bryan Hurlbutt, Advocates for the West, will report on the case.

* We've captured many fantastic images of the Grimes Creek watershed and the proposed site of the CuMo mega mine. Mountain Visions has created a multimedia presentation using the latest in digital technology that takes the audience right to the site.

We'll have refreshments, and there will plenty of time for questions.
