Fighting the Destruction of a Sacred Place — Mt. Denabo
Great Basin Resource Watch (GBRW) has in its 16 years of existence never outright opposed a mine except the Cortez Hills Gold Mine at Mt. Denabo (typically misspelled as Tenabo) in central Nevada, east of Crescent Valley. The cultural impact to the Western Shoshone from the Cortez Hills mine is so severe that in 2008 GBRW decided to “pull out the stops” to prevent Barrick Gold Corporation from developing this large open pit mine at Mt. Denabo. Unlike the perspective of the U.S. Bureau of Land Management and U.S. law, we do not agree that mining is suitable and “best” use of public land in almost all cases. We view the Mt. Denabo area as one place that should be off-limits to mining and other industrial development.

Voice of the Great Basin Listening Tour
In early September GBRW completed the first leg of our Voices of the Great Basin Listening Tour. We wanted to connect with rural people in the Great Basin to better understand their perspective about industrial development and resource extraction projects such as minng. Terry Dempsey, a photojournalism student at the University of Nevada, Reno, accompanied me on the weeklong journey to photograph the lands we visited in Nevada and Utah and the people living there.

Initiative May Change Tax on Mining Industry
Our front page story discusses the process taken to attempt to get the mining industry to pay its fair share of taxes in Nevada. Since publication, the attempt to get this initiative on the November ballot has failed; one-third of the needed 90,000 signatures needed were not collected by the June 15th deadline. Although the initiative will not be on the November ballot, and although the initiative faced unprcedented obstacles, public awarness of this issue has undoubedly increased! GBRW, along with PLAN, thanks all of the volunteers for both their hard work in gathering petition signatures and for spreading the message that it is time for the mining industry to pay its fair share in taxes! Thank you!
