Libby Chamber supports Montanore Mine project

| February 18, 2025 7:00 AM

As you may know, the Forest Service is seeking public comments on the proposed Libby Exploration Project at the previously titled ‘Montanore’ site. 

Montana Minerals Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Hecla Mining, Inc. and a local Chamber member, has requested the ability to access their site using Libby Creek Road and execute an exploration project on their private ground to gather geotechnical and hydrological information to inform the decision processes necessary to determine if a mine can or should be developed.

On behalf of our members, the Chamber wrote in support of the proposed exploration project. When approved, Montanore Minerals Corporation will be able to dewater the current adit at the mine site and finish drilling to access areas where information about the ore body and the surrounding rock can be gathered for analysis.
