Elko resists drive by Nevada's sinking gambling industry to raise mining taxes
Life in a Gold-Mining Town

ELKO, Nevada -- In late January, snow dusts the open land as the backs of cattle grazing peek out of the scrubland that surrounds the section of Interstate 80 crossing Nevada.
The road is straight and flat, cars traveling to Salt Lake City, Utah, or West to the Sierra Nevadas speed by at 85 or 90 miles per hour while the big rigs that dominate the highway keep at a more respectable 80 -- the official speed limit.
This region of basins and ranges, of pinyon juniper forests perilously clinging to mountain passes, is defined by a sense of emptiness, sameness.

Great Bear Provides Detailed New Sections
and Drills Near-Surface High-Grade Gold
at LP Fault: 13.38 g/t over 18.15 Meters
Company Announcement
Monday, February 8, 2021
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Canada -- Great Bear Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: GBR; OTCQX: GTBAF) today reported results from its ongoing 2021 exploration program at its 100% owned flagship Dixie Project in the Red Lake district of Ontario.
Chris Taylor, president and CEO of Great Bear, said, "In this release we provide highly detailed individual assay level data from shallow drill holes on one cross section at three different scales. With tighter drilling we have observed the same exceptional gold zone continuity at 25-metre drill spacing, both along strike and vertically, as we previously observed at 100–200 metre spacing.
"By the end of 2021 we are planning to have completed approximately 100 drill sections similar to the one contained in this release, consisting of over 400 drill holes in total. All this drilling is within the same continuous gold zone along more than 4 kilometres of strike length, which remains open to extension in all directions, and is present from bedrock surface.” ...

People stop in the towns lining I-80 to fill up their gas tank, eat a quick bite, and then keep driving.
In this city of roughly 20,000 people at 5,000-foot elevation, locals would prefer you keep on driving. Unlike Las Vegas or Reno, tourism is not the biggest industry in town, and that's fine by the people of Elko -- where gold mining rules the economy.
Although the state as a whole has been hit especially hard by the economic fallout of the pandemic, in Elko people are still working, restaurants are bustling, and aside from the rules mandated by Democratic Gov. Steve Sisolak, life is normal -- a state of reality that can be disorienting for those arriving from harder hit regions. ...
