Heritage forward. Data backed.

Our plan for underground mine operations builds on Butte’s historic mining infrastructure with modern safety protocols and technologies. We aim to add the next chapter to Butte’s 150 years of mining history and create lasting economic value through responsible resource development.

For us, that chapter only counts if it benefits the community where we live and work: environmental protection and economic opportunity together, with modern methods that make the work safer and cleaner.

Rainbow Block

The Rainbow Block is approximately 878 acres of mineral rights located in historic North Butte and Walkerville, Montana. First given its moniker by early miners due to the great “Silver Bow” of veins visible on the surface that extend to depth.

The Butte mining district holds over 10,000 miles of tunnels. Our team has georeferenced and modeled the underground workings within the Rainbow Block.
