Daniel R. Cobb's The Mine is a riveting thriller that explores the depths of
corporate greed and criminality, and a young couple's will to survive.
Ryan Evans, a biologist working for Oregon's Department of
Environmental Quality, has two obsessions: his lovely new wife, Meagan,
and a cyanide leach mine he wants to see closed. High in Oregon's
rugged Wallowa Mountains, an open-pit mine is churning out gold, plus
cyanide, arsenic, sulfuric acid, and heavy metals. Ryan is shocked when
the DEQ approves the mine's expansion from 1800 to 6600 acres. His
investigation reveals fraud, corruption, and the apparent murder of a
DEQ investigator. Against Meagan's pleas, Ryan digs a little too deep.
His tenacity catches the attention of a whistle-blower, plus people who
will do whatever it takes to silence them both. Sometimes, idealism can
bring a grave penalty. THE MINE is based on Colorado's $200,000,000
Summitville Mine disaster, Europe's Aurul Mine catastrophe, and the
next debacle: Alaska's Pebble Mine.
