The future of the Caribou and Cross Mines is at a pivotal crossroads, and we need your voice. Recent conversations about our Designated Mining Operation (DMO) permit have highlighted the importance of clear, fact-based dialogue. At American Clean Resources Group, we believe in a balanced approach that protects the environment, supports local jobs, and fosters economic vitality in Nederland and the surrounding region.
Over the past few years, GIR have taken significant steps to strengthen environmental safeguards, provide community support, and revitalize this historic site. From improving water treatment systems to responsibly reclaiming legacy mine areas, we strive to operate with the highest integrity and deep respect for our neighbors.
Unfortunately, misinformation and uncertainty can overshadow these positive efforts. That’s why we are asking you to sign our online petition and stand with us. By signing, you affirm that progress and preservation can go hand in hand, and you endorse:
