From First Dig to Full Operation—We Handle the Paperwork, You Handle the Pay Dirt

If you’ve got a mining claim, a backhoe, and a plan—you’re halfway there. But to actually start work, there’s one thing standing between you and your dig: regulatory approval. And whether you're swinging a sluice or bringing in bulk samples, you’ll need a properly filed Notice of Intent (NOI) or a full Plan of Operations (PoO) to keep your project legal, protected, and moving forward.

That’s where Candy Mountain Mining Company comes in.

We specialize in helping miners of all levels—from recreational claim owners to commercial-scale operators—get approved faster, avoid common permit pitfalls, and launch operations without unnecessary delay.

Most Miners Hit a Wall at Permitting

You found a killer spot. You’ve got the gear. Maybe even a team. But suddenly…

❌ Your NOI gets denied
❌ You’re told you need a full Plan of Operations
❌ You hit permit delays that waste the entire season
❌ You’re stuck in back-and-forth with the BLM or Forest Service

We’ve seen it time and again. Operators with real potential get stalled—not because the ground’s no good, but because the paperwork wasn’t filed right.

Our Solution: Full-Service NOI & PoO Permitting

Whether you're sampling creek gravels or preparing to trench and tunnel, we custom-build permit-ready documents that match your exact operation—and we deal directly with the agencies so you don’t have to.

What we file includes:

• All required documents for NOIs (≤5 acres) and PoOs (>5 acres)

• Equipment plans, campsite logistics, and operational details

• Field-ready maps, GPS layouts, and area disturbance estimates

• Reclamation plans and bonding details for PoO-level projects

• Support for dredging, trenching, underground, and bulk sampling programs

And we do it all with the voice and detail the agencies expect—not fill-in-the-blank PDFs that get kicked back.

Trusted Across the West

We’ve secured NOI and PoO approvals for gold, silver, and polymetallic claims in:

• Nevada, Arizona, and New Mexico

• Colorado alpine zones

• Montana & Wyoming waterways

• Utah, South Dakota, and more

Whether you're filing your first NOI or upgrading to a full Plan of Operations—we know what each district ranger needs to see, and how to get it approved.

Why It Pays to Do It Right

Filing your own NOI or PoO might sound simple—until it's not.

✔️ A rejected NOI can set you back 6–8 weeks
✔️ An incomplete PoO can cost you your entire field season
✔️ Delays in bonding or NEPA review stall real development
✔️ Poor documentation hurts future filings or claim sales

Don’t lose momentum—or your window to mine. The paperwork may be complex, but getting it right is your fastest path to profit.

🔥 Don’t Wait — Peak Season Review Times Are Here

Most agencies are now taking 2–6 weeks for NOI approval and 18-24 months for PoO filings. That means every week you wait to file puts your project further behind.

Let’s get ahead of the curve. Our permit packages are designed for fast agency review, and we handle follow-up every step of the way.
