Mine Plan of Operations to construct,
operate, reclaim, and close an open pit,
heap leach, gold and copper mining
operation known as the Greater Phoenix
Mine Project (Project) located 14 miles
south of Battle Mountain, Nevada, in
Lander County. The proposed Project
would be located within all or portions
of the following Townships, Ranges,
and Sections relative to the Mount
Diablo Baseline and Meridian:
Township 30 North, Range 43 East,
Sections 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 08, 09, 10,
11, 14, 15, 16, 17, 20, 21, and 22; and

Sections 15, 16, 20, 21, 22, 23, 25, 26,
27, 28, 29, 32, 33, 34, 35 and 36. The

acres is public land managed by the
Mount Lewis Field Office. New surface

primary components associated with the
proposed Project would include the
open pit, two new waste rock dump
facilities (WRDF), an expansion of an
