I was so glad to see Cerro Gordo get coverage like this! What K2 plans will adversely affect the future of this mining town.

[@charleyfolkes]

Nice to see CBS covering this beautiful and historic area and respecting this unique endeavor. My question is, why they left out the part about K2 mining , a Canadian Company, poised to strip the area of its mineral resources using toxic Cyanide. Why CBS would do this story now, after all these years and leave the Elephant in the room OUT seems suspicious. I wonder if K2 got to CBS with some $ to cut that part out, because there’s no other ‘newsworthy’ reason for the timing of this story other than the threat from K2

[@ernestkaiser6893]

Visited a couple months ago and met Brent. Total chill guy. His videos are an inspiration to me to get up and do what you dream of.

[@thejourneymen7722]

It’s pretty crappy the sellers would sell you a piece of property knowing they were going to lease the surrounding property to some strip mining outfit out of Canada at a later date just to further feather their pockets and knowing it would completely destroy this historic ghost town. I guess jealousy got the best of them seeing how Brent’s popularity has grown and the money he is bringing in through his KZbin followers…
