Exploring for jobs in mineral rich SW Washington
As it turns out we could have one of the richest mineral deposits ever discovered in Washington State, right in our backyard here in Southwest Washington. Mount Margaret is located in the Saint Helens Mining District of Skamania County, about 22 miles southwest of Randle. The Mount Margaret deposit holds the potential for tremendous economic opportunity for Southwest Washington and our nation.
The process of exploring and developing a mineral deposit in an environmentally respectful manner demands a careful and deliberate process.
