An environmental survey conducted by BMR Gold (ASE) over the company’s America Mine gold project in San Bernardino Cty., Calif., failed to locate any desert tortoise. The tortoise is known to inhabit certain parts of the Mojave Desert and is considered an endangered species.
The company notes that the project’s remote location, bordered on two sides by a military bombing and gunnery range, as well as its sparse vegetation and past-mining operations, will make environmental permitting easier than that encountered at other proposed mining sites in Southern California.
BMR expects to have completed a prefeasibility by mid- 1990 and have operating permits in hand by early 1991.
