Local Investment
The Project has tremendous potential to support the Imperial Valley once operational, including over $1.1 billion in investment and more than $241 million in taxes and royalties paid to state, federal, and local governments.
We anticipate over 20 years of production and economic activity with an opportunity to continue Imperial County’s legacy of gold production for an entire new generation while supporting its people and institutions responsibly and respectfully.

Imperial Gold is committed to using modern exploration and mining methods that are designed to protect the environment, including backfilling mined pits throughout the operational life of the mine.
Imperial Gold will establish and enact measures that are environmentally responsible at all Project stages.
