The Forest Service is holding public informational meetings on 13 miles of CuMo Molybdenum Mine road construction, the next step to building the mine which may have the largest open-pit accessible deposits in the world. (See this Idaho Conservation League web page for more details.)
Start the tour by clicking the > play button in the controller bar in the bottom left of the map below. Pop up windows will automatically open with photos, information and links at each of the major mine icons and the Sand Dam Arrow. Pause the playback to read the information in the windows or click on links. (Note! pause the playback for a second if you do not see text associated with towns and features icons and the text will appear. Then continue playing the tour again.) Google Earth has acknowledged this issue & they are working on it.
Here is a link to a manual version of the tour that does not automatically open the pop up windows for the mines and the Sand Dam.
If you prefer to use the Google Earth Browser here is a link to the KMZ file where you can play either the automatic or manual version of the CuMo Mine Tour, or simply explore on your own.
