Plans for open-pit gold mine ditched

By Eric Pryne Seattle Times staff reporterAfter investing 11 years and $60 million, a Texas mining company has abandoned plans to blast a huge open-pit gold mine into a remote mountaintop in Okanogan County.

Battle Mountain Gold of Houston, which led a joint venture to develop the proposed Crown Jewel mine on Buckhorn Mountain near Chesaw, confirmed yesterday that it has pulled out of the project, retaining only the right to a royalty on any gold the property might one day produce.

Crown Resources, a small Denver gold-exploration company and the venture's remaining partner, said it will seek permits for a smaller, largely underground mine it said would be much less environmentally disruptive.
