There will be three hiring stages of the mine with each having a different level for job opportunities (permitting, construction, and operations).

Permitting: We are currently in this two year stage, during which employment opportunities are limited.

Construction: Once all required permits are obtained, construction will include about 200 contract laborers for 2+ years.

Operations: When our mine operating permit is granted, the first hiring phase of operations begins, consisting of managers, engineers, geologists, environmental scientists and accounting personnel. The second hiring phase includes most other positions and starts about one year after commencement of construction. We estimate a full time operations workforce of roughly 240 employees.
