The DEIS provides an analysis of environmental, social and economic impacts of the proposed mine plan and possible alternatives. The public is invited to submit comments on the Gold Rock Project during a 45-day comment period ending March 30, 2015. The U.S. Bureau of Land Management will then address these comments prior to approving the Final EIS and awarding a Record of Decision.

Publication of the Draft EIS is an important milestone for both the Gold Rock project and Midway Gold. While our immediate priority is first gold production at our Pan project, continuing to advance the Gold Rock project is consistent with our Midway vision; to develop our portfolio of simple, manageable, financeable gold projects in Nevada.
