In their next phase of destructive gold exploration, Canadian company K2 Gold, through its subsidiary Mojave Precious Metals, is proposing to build 2.6 miles of brand-new roads and 1.1 miles of overlanding routes to access 30 different drill sites and drill 120 holes on Conglomerate Mesa. The total impact is estimated to be up to 15 acres, more than 60 times as much as K2 Gold’s previous exploration activities.
On Friday, May 2, 2025, in an official news release, the Ridgecrest Bureau of Land Management (BLM) announced the formal opening of a 45-day public comment period on the draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for K2 Gold’s mining proposal. This provides an excellent opportunity for you to let BLM know that you do not want to see K2 Gold devastate Conglomerate Mesa to enable them to make a profit. Please make your voice heard and share why you want to see Conglomerate Mesa protected. Previously, thanks to the more than 23,000 public comments the initial analysis received, BLM determined that this proposal requires a more thorough analysis of impacts (EIS) than any other gold mining exploration project in history.
