The Portuguese Creek Mine is a pilot stage, environmentally-friendly mining project in Gooding, Idaho that is developing platinum group metals for the growing clean energy and environmental technology industries. Its production of platinum, gold and other metals will be derived from 50 million tons of ore reserve that has been delineated on 10 claims in a larger holding of over two square miles of 70 mining claims leased on US Bureau of Land Management (BLM) lands in Idaho.
