Save Silver City NV

Save Silver City NV Silver City is threatened by open pit mining within the town. CMI will mine in Silver City if possible. This is no privileged, gated community.

Comstock Mining Inc (CMI) intends to “revitalize” the Comstock by extensive exploration and production of gold and silver through open pit mining and heap leaching within the endangered Virginia City National Historic Landmark. CMI has completed 2 phases of exploratory drilling within Silver City, with another phase coming soon. We conclude from the noise and dust of the first two phases that an o

pen pit mine in town will lower property values, degrade quality of life, impact historic structiures and destroy our community

Silver City is a small community of about 170 souls, the southernmost of the towns on the Comstock Lode. Close to moribund by the mid-1960s, new people were attracted to the town by the cheap real estate and rental prices, convenience to Carson City and Reno, natural beauty of its setting, and opportunity to live in and build a community based on both libertarian and liberal views (yes, it’s possible!). Many of those ‘60s-‘70s “pioneers” and/or their children, are still here. We have a good socioeconomic mix of professionals, small business owners and contractors, retirees, musicians, artists, and tradesmen/women. Many houses are owner-built. We have little crime and a lot of community involvement.
