From the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Mining Regulation and Reclamation permit registry. Each “agency record” link re-runs the exact query for that one permit against the agency’s own service, so every line here is checkable. The registry publishes no operating-company column.
Nevada Division of Environmental Protection notices from the Bureau of Mining Regulation and Reclamation and the Bureau of Water Pollution Control — notice of proposed action, notice of decision, certification request — against a water pollution control permit (NEV-numbered) or a reclamation permit. These notices name the permittee, which is the one place the operating company reliably appears.

“First seen” is the date this record first appeared in Great Basin Brief’s daily collection. Collection began 11 September 2026; nothing earlier is claimed. Every document links to the issuing agency. Permits, financings, federal awards, water and land records for one project are kept in one timeline deliberately: permit events are public before a company announces them.
Nevada project index — every named project in the collected record, with its operator and open deadlines.
Great Basin Brief compiles public records published by federal and Nevada state agencies. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or a publication of any government agency, and it is not legal advice. Verify every deadline against the originating agency document before relying on it.
Records are compiled and drafted with automated assistance and reviewed before publication.
