BLM Approves Expansion of Silver Peak Lithium Mine
The U.S. Bureau of Land Management has approved an expansion of the Silver Peak lithium mine in Esmeralda County, Nevada, operated by Albemarle Corporation. The plan enlarges the site and adds new wells, pipelines, and processing infrastructure to boost lithium recovery for battery production. Federal officials say the move strengthens domestic supply of a critical mineral for electric vehicles and energy storage, while environmental reviews and oversight will continue as development proceeds.

Currently, Silver Peak is the only fully active lithium mine in the US. . It has been in operation since the 1960s and currently supplies virtually all domestically mined lithium for battery, industrial and defense uses. However, that doesn’t mean it’s the only place in the U.S. with lithium resources. There are several additional projects at earlier stages — under construction or permitting.

Signage Acknowledging Timbisha Shoshone Ordered Removed From Death Valley Exhibits Just days after Death Valley National Park issued a press release celebrating the shared history and long-term relationship between the Timbisha Shoshone Tribe and Death Valley, the Trump administration has ordered the National Park Service to remove signage acknowledging the tribe from park exhibits. The directive instructs the National Park Service to remove or revise interpretive signage that recognizes the Timbisha Shoshone Tribe’s historical and ongoing connection to the land within Death Valley National Park.  Secretary’s Order 3431 directs federal land management agencies to conduct comparable audits of all content made available to the public. The order applies to exhibits at locations including the Furnace Creek Visitor Center, where language acknowledging the tribe’s homeland and continued presence has been displayed for years. The signage was developed through collaboration between the N...

No Avalanche on Hwy 395; Chain Controls Causing Truck Turnarounds Mono County, CA — Rumors have been circulating that Highway 395 between Lee Vining and Mono City was closed due to an avalanche, with trucks being turned away. Authorities confirm that there is no avalanche in the area. The Bishop Branch of the California Highway Patrol (CHP) verified that trucks and other vehicles without chains are being turned around at both Lee Vining and Mono City. Chain controls are in effect due to winter weather conditions, which can make this stretch of highway slippery and hazardous. Motorists are urged to carry chains, obey chain control requirements, and drive cautiously. Attempting to bypass chain requirements is not only unsafe but can also result in fines and accidents. For the latest road conditions, travelers can check the Caltrans website or contact the Bishop CHP. https://sierrawave.net/rumor-not-true-heres-the-story-no-avalanche-on-hwy-395-between-lee-vining-and-mono-city/
