Rio Tinto is now ready to begin drilling at the Madison copper-gold project in Montana.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The deposits of precious metals in this area are part of history here in Montana with an emphasis on development of natural resources and wealth here at home.  The property which is currently held by <a href=\"https:\/\/americanpacific.ca\/projects\/madison\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">American Pacific Mining Corporation<\/a> is ready for further development beginning with the drilling.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rio Tinto has spent the past 2 years in the exploration stage of the project.  Using modern technology combined with historic mining information several targets have been identified by the experts in the field.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:37% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"681\" height=\"566\" src=\"https:\/\/conservativenewsfrommontana.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/madison-project.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1246 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/conservativenewsfrommontana.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/madison-project.png 681w, https:\/\/conservativenewsfrommontana.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/madison-project-480x399.png 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 681px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p>Multiple companies are engaged in the Madison property project and it is teamwork in the mining industry that makes things happen. The Black Butte Project in Meagher County is a prime example of a company that is invested in making sure that the natural resource industry is in place and to ensure that the beneficial use of natural resources is not lost to eco~extremism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is expected that the Madison property project may potentially spend $30 million in development of the project. That is wealth that comes into Montana that benefits everyone not to mention the potential to create more jobs right here at home.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The Madison property is located near Silver Star, Montana.  Those that have been down the highway past Silver Star know about the historic mining equipment that is displayed right there in town showing Montana history.  The original mining program here in Montana was developed in districts in which many district are still in effect.  The Madison project is in the Butte Mining District, which is home to the richest hill on earth! The property has both patented and unpatented claims that cover over 4 sections of land.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Madison project site photos Credit: American Pacific Mining Corp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:12px\"><em>The views, opinions, or positions expressed here by the authors and those providing comments are the recordings of the individual rights of the people.&nbsp; Some comments, opinions or positions posted here may not agree with The Conservative News From Montana.&nbsp; We will do our best to provide a venue for the people of Montana to have your voices heard.&nbsp; Social Media, including Facebook may not want your position heard so Please take a moment and consider sharing this article with your friends and family.
