wrecks our neighborhoods
TRUCKs, Vibration, Noise
The peace and quiet that brought homeowners to this beautiful area will be shattered. Constant truck traffic, vibration, and noise from blasting and heavy equipment operations will become the new normal.
Understand the impact
Running an industrial mining operation in the middle of a rural neighborhood has its consequences. The people who will be hardest hit are the residents and businesses in the Brunswick area, but Rise Gold's mineral rights extend far beyond that, so the area of impact would be quite large.
Rise Gold is fond of talking about all the measures they're taking to contain sound levels inside the plant, but there's a lot more outside that they're not talking about. This is still going to be an industrial mining operation.
