Resolution Declares that CuMo may Provide Significant Socio-Economic Benefits

Idaho City’s Mayor and City Council passed a resolution to support the exploration and development of the CuMo Project in Boise County on Wednesday, January 31, 2018. Resolution 2018-01 states that the CuMo Project has the potential to provide significant social and economic benefits to the communities of Boise County by creating direct and ancillary employment opportunities.

“The sustainability of each community surrounding the CuMo Project is our team’s highest priority,” said Phil Bandy, Executive Vice President of Operations at Idaho CuMo Mining Corporation. “We were thrilled to learn that Mayor Phillip Canody and the City Council Members were supporting the Project in such a unified and public way.”

Idaho CuMo Mining Corporation (ICMC), the Boise-based management arm of American CuMo Mining Corporation was established in 2013 to advance the exploration and to educate, engage and empower local community members to participate in CuMo Project developments. The letter accompanying Resolution 2018-01 recognizes the “efforts” that ICMC “has taken to engage community members” throughout the development process.

The recent U.S. Forest Service public comment period offered an opportunity for proponents and opponents of the CuMo Project to have input in shaping the exploration to meet the needs of the community, assure environmental sustainability and comply with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Comments were accepted regarding the current NEPA Scoping Phase through January 8, 2018.

“Support for the Project is particularly important at this current phase and Idaho City responded with a powerful, public statement” said Bandy.

Information distributed as news from opponents during the public comment period touted that the CuMo Project is managed by a Canadian company and primarily owned by foreign investors.

“Our team is made up of longtime Idaho residents. We work, live and recreate throughout the region,” said Bandy. “Furthermore, American CuMo Mining Corporation is a publicly-traded, international company which gives us the best of both worlds for the Project, local management with adherence to international environmental law which is most stringent.”

ICMC continues to advance the CuMo Project with socio-economic and environmental sustainability as a highest priority. The company’s sustainability efforts include business association memberships, sponsorships for local non-profits, financial contributions for community initiatives and transparent exchange of information regarding the CuMo Project.
