A good 40 years after it was abandoned, Eagle Mountain and its mining rights were sold by a subsidiary of the Kaiser Corporation for $22.5 million (£17.7m). The sale was finalised in April 2023. SFGate has done some digging and identified the buyer as a company called Ecology Mountain Holdings.

According to USA Today, the firm appears to be one of a group of companies under the 'Ecology' name that deals with auto parts and recycling. Ecology Auto Parts has a fleet of 600 trucks that remove construction debris and green waste.
