'This legislation is an unprecedented giveaway to the mining industry, one that would further entrench the legacy of injustice to Indigenous communities and damage to public lands held in trust for future generations.'

that"Sen. Cortez Masto has become a mining-industry puppet and is throwing communities, tribes, and wildlife under the bus."

The proposal exposes local divisions: The Nevada Mining Association, the Northern Nevada Central Labor Council, and the company Nevada Vanadium all applauded it, but other groups, such as Save the Scenic Santa Ritas Association, slammed the bill. John Hadder, director of Great Basin Resource Watch, warned that the legislation"would allow New Moly Mining Corp. to cover over federally protected public springs at Mt. Hope here in Nevada with millions of tons of waste rock and create a forever source of water pollution."
