DEVELOPMENTAL FACTORS
As the USFS has been quarrying and crushing some of the material on site for road gravel, it is not expected that environmental issues will be used as an excuse to slow development of this operation.
The ideal scenario would be to do the preliminary crushing of the nepheline syenite on the mountain and having the haul trucks on a continious circle, climbing the Waldport side of the mountain, descending via the Georgia Pacific road to Toledo for shipping by barge or rail in the raw state to customers as Coors, or for refinement to a higher priced material.
Toledo has much to offer as a manufacturing/warehouse site. Being the region is financially depressed due to a cutback in timber operations there are federal, state, and local monies available to subsidize any sort of endeavor that would retrain ex-millworkers into rock polishers, for example.
The Oregon and Lincoln County Economic Development Comission, working with the City of Toledo have offered a very favorable long term lease on the industrial site pictured here, with possibly a built to suit package.As mentioned, the property is accesable to within five miles of the quarry on paved roadówhich is rather curvy and narrow in places—with the remainder being an all weather gravel (read crushed nepheline syenite) road.
A stroke of luck, as far as mining properties go, is that as Table Mountain also hosts a microwave repeater station, there also is an electric line (buried) coming in from the Toledo side.
