Mine Reclamation
 

     Here at Wiita Mining and Exploration we have been doing beautiful reclamation work on our properties for years. Now we are branching out with a whole division dedicated to mine reclamation. No job is to big, and none to small, whether you just finished an operation on the property, or even if its been abandon for over a hundred years we can reclaim it. We can reclaim properties from small private firms all the way up to large federal government projects. We make it look as if nothing ever happened. 

     Wiita Mining and Exploration is equipt to handle any mine reclamation project in California, Oregon, Colorado, Arizona, or New Mexico. We will get your reclaimation bond released.

     We start out filling trenches, and then re-contouring all hill sides, if the shafts, or adits on the property are new, they can be filled, and capped, but if the shafts, or adits have been there for a while there could be residents living in them, for these instances we have a patented wildlife safe grating system that can also be used. To finish the reclaimation we haul off all trash, and debris, then we disk all remediated areas,, and re-plant all areas with natural seeds.

    Let us know your exact needs, and we can fill them. ( pun intended )

There are alot of hidden dangers on public land. Some you can't even see, until it's to late. Our reclaimation specialists close off shafts, and adits, with a wildlife safe grating system, that also makes us humans safe when we are out exploring our public lands. If the open shafts, or adits are on your claim are not made safe, you could be liable for accidents occuring, even if you had no knowledge the victim was on your claim.  

An abandon mine site in Arizona

This abandon site has many hidden dangers

This site in Arizona was just abandoned. All the shafts, and adits were open, toxic fluids on the ground. Just an accident waiting to happen. Many people are injured every year exploring old mines. Rattlesnakes love these old properties as well as a lot of other critters. Old explosives are often left in underground shafts, noxious gases are usually present in old shafts. These are just a few of the dangers encountered in old mines. This is why it is best to leave this to trained professionals. Call Wiita Mining and Exploration whether you are just making your personal claim safe, a developer that has encountered shafts present on a jobsite, or even if you are a mining company trying to get your bond released.  Thank you Craig Wiita
