A Canadian company wants to drill about 30 test holes high in the Beartooth Mountains to get a better look at platinum and rhodium deposits.
The holes would be drilled on the East Boulder Plateau between Big Timber and Nye.
The Stillwater Mining Company operates two mines in the area, and is the only producer of platinum and palladium in the United States.
The Beartooth Platinum Corporation has unpatented mining claims on about 16-thousand acres surrounding the Stillwater holdings. It has drilled in the area for a couple of years, and wants to expand its work.
The drilling would take place on both the Gallatin and Custer national forests.
The Forest Service is seeking public comment on the proposal.
Drilling could start as early as May 1st. Public comments are due by March 23rd.
