Brave New West!



Mining Seven-up Pete is the story of the struggle to save the famed Blackfoot River in western Montana from what would be one of the largest cyanide heap-leach gold mines in North America. It documents the legacy of mining throughout the state of Montana: cyanide-laced groundwater, acid mine drainage, and the lost hope of a boom and bust economy.

"Documents the broad spectrum of environmental problems at other heap leach mines in Montana, including cyanide spills, acid mine drainage, and poisoned water supplies. In addition, it highlights the potentially devastating impacts this mine could have on the Blackfoot's renowned trout fishery, particularly for the dwindling bull and westslope cutthroat trout populations that have found a stronghold in the project area streams." read full article from Garden City Green Calendar
