Mining permit should guarantee no risk for Montana’s fabled Smith River

Why gamble on the future of Montana’s Smith River?

Should we be gambling with something we value so dearly?

Debate over this mine proposal is not whether mining is important. It is. However, there are appropriate locations for mines, and Montana’s Smith River country is not one of them. When the risks are this considerable, no one should gamble with our future. Mines are ephemeral. The Smith River must endure forever.
