Historic Nevada County gold mine return controversy over vested rights

The Nevada County Board of Supervisors spent Wednesday listening to a petition from the company "Rise Grass Valley," which claims they have vested rights to mine at Idaho-Maryland.

The historic gold mine has not been operating in Nevada County since the mid-1950s, but Rise wants to resurrect gold mining on the Brunswick Site. 

It has sparked a heated debate across the community that is largely against the reopening of the mine.
