About Rock Creek Lands
The Rock Creek Lands is an area along the Rock Creek Canyon about 20 miles northeast of Battle Mountain, Nevada. For thousands of years, the Rock Creek Lands were traditionally used by the Western Shoshone for healing ceremonies and a great source of medicinal plants. The land package includes rock shelters, sweat lodges, and other ceremonial sites. The Rock Creek Lands can only be accessed by a dirt road and includes five sections totaling 3,629 acres of private land. Klondex and the Western Shoshone have established covenants to empower the Western Shoshone in the protection of these lands to ensure there is a legacy to be used for generations to come.
Paul Huet, President and CEO commented, "Securing the lands and donating them to the Western Shoshone has been a focus of the Klondex Executive team and endorsed by the Klondex Board of Directors since acquiring Hollister. Working alongside such an amazing group like the Western Shoshone has been gratifying for everyone involved. Klondex recognizes that working with key external stakeholders is critical to our success. This contribution will be remembered for many generations and will secure the Rock Creek Lands indefinitely for the Western Shoshone."
