Idaho CuMo Mining Corporation Heightens CuMo Project Community Engagement
NEW CUMO PROJECT WEBSITE DELIVERS ON COMMUNITY-CENTERED COMMITMENT
BOISE, ID, July 31, 2013: The CuMo Project, a major resource development located in remote Boise County, continues its efforts to engage the community with the launch of a new interactive website –cumoproject.com – and digital media platforms.
The sole owner of the CuMo Project, American CuMo Mining Corporation (CuMoCo) (the “Company”) (TSXV: MLY; OTCQX: MLYCF), in 2012 began rebranding the company and the CuMo Project to reflect the current phase of development—pre-feasibility. The new CuMo Project website is an extension of the rebranding process and is focused on the company’s Idaho presence and community initiatives.
“The enhancement of our communication efforts comes at a critical time for the CuMo Project,” said Shaun Dykes, CEO of CuMoCo. “At this phase of development, we are gathering a vast amount of scientific data to support our belief that CuMo is a sustainable project. As new data is gathered and we move the pre-feasibility study forward, CuMoCo’s comprehensive communication strategy is crafted to provide Idahoans timely access to pertinent information.”
The CuMo Project’s new website includes an informational movie, educational resources and community involvement opportunities. CuMoCo has also launched CuMo Project Facebook, Twitter and YouTube platforms to provide real-time updates and dialogue regarding project developments. Integration of these online platforms will advance CuMoCo’s commitment to maintaining transparency and support the company’s priority of community engagement.
“We hope that this site will not only be informative but will become a touch point for community members and public officials who desire real-time updates on the project, have interest in the planned activities and resources that we are deploying in the community,” said Dykes.
The five-minute CuMo Project movie contains topographical maps of the resource site, flyover footage of historic Grimes Creek mining damage and data produced by the exploration.
“Until now, we have only been able to talk about the Project; the movie will help us convey the Project vision more clearly,” said Dykes. “For the first time, we are able to illustrate the extensive reclamation opportunity that the CuMo Project presents for Idaho’s historic mining damage.”
In addition to digital media, CuMoCo’s 2013 community engagement campaign has included a vigorous public outreach operation including a corporate sponsored barbeque in Crouch, Idaho and participation in community events throughout Boise County.
CuMoCo’s efforts will continue through the fall with a special curriculum offering provided through Boise County schools. The program includes Idaho-focused mining information, activity guides, information about mining, engineering and geology careers, and presentations delivered by staff geologists and engineers.
