The mining operations right off M5 north of San Felipe has an interesting project going on. From what I could see....around the bend of the main mine
operations....there were 3-4 earth moving tractors, front loaders...ect. 10 - 15 acres of desert had been leveled, power lines brought in. Mega
operation.
Are they building a city for the workers or ?
Anyone?

I was told they are building a community for workers. Now they have several buses running from San Felipe and Mexicali to transport workers. At leas
one motel in San Felipe is completely full of mine workers - and has been for several months.

This area they are doing is huge! How many workers are expected eventually?

Just a place for the cartels to put the bodies.

Don't kn ow how many, but they are really expanding the mining - you can hear and see dust from blasting almost every day, getting into new areas.
Running miles of power lines to the pumps in Arroyo Grande, along with a new water line beside the older one. Big stuff!
What I have heard is just from around town - the mining company hasn't confided in me (as yet)_.

This is all thanks to the increase in value of gold... making mining the yellow ore profitable again! Sadly, it is in proportion to the falling value
of the dollar!
