Fortitude Gold Corp. has received approval from the Bureau of Land Management to construct and operate the County Line Mine gold project in Nevada, situated in Mineral and Nye Counties. This development marks a significant step for the U.S.-based gold producer, known for its operations in Nevada. The County Line project, an open-pit gold operation, is strategically located near the company's existing Isabella Pearl gold mine, facilitating efficient use of existing processing infrastructure. The company aims for an annualized production rate of approximately 20,000 ounces of gold over two years, with potential for expansion based on additional mineralization not yet included in the resource estimates. Remaining approvals necessary for the project's full-scale operation are anticipated soon. Fortitude Gold continues to pursue a strategy of low operating costs, high margins, and strong capital returns, with a focus on organic growth and debt-free operations.
