Where Is Black Butte Copper Located?

Black Butte Copper is located 17 miles north of White Sulphur Springs, and two miles west of U.S. Highway 89. The confluence of the Smith River and Sheep Creek is 19 miles downstream. To protect all water resources, the surface facilities, including the tunnel opening, mill and cemented tailings facility will be located off Sheep Creek, out of the valley, in a saddle of Sawmill Hill with the cemented tailings facility located 1 mile away. This distance location was purposely chosen to ensure a superior job of environmental management for the mine site and for protection of all local waterways.
