Rare earth minerals site


Miller Creek Road near Sundance, Wyo., is the site planned for a rare earth minerals mine in the Black Hills National Forest. The road would be widened and straightened to accommodate the large trucks that would transport the minerals. The roads would be widened by at least 40 feet and a new, straight road would be constructed through this area. (AP Photo/Gillette News Record, Steve Remich)
