The Wharf mine property consists of several areas of adjoining gold mineralization, which have been mined as a series of open pits.
In January 2022, the Lawrence County Commission approved Coeur Wharf's Conditional Use Permit application, also known as the Boston Expansion. This approval, which is one of the two needed, the other being the State Mine Permit approval, allows for an expansion of our mining operations by 48.7 acres and potentially extends the mine life for one to three years. In August 2023, following two years of environmental baseline studies and regulator review, the South Dakota State Board of Minerals and Environment approved a new State Mine Permit for the Wharf mine incorporating the Boston Expansion area. Simultaneously, an increased bond amount was also approved to include additional land disturbance associated with the Boston Expansion. |
