Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility to
Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance
In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
USC 2273) the Department of Labor issued a Certification of
Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on August
7, 2002, applicable to workers of Viceroy Gold Corporation,
Castle Mountain Mine, Searchlight, Nevada. The notice was
published in the Federal Register on August 23, 2001 (66 FR
44378). The certification was amended on April 23, 2002, to
include workers of MK Gold Company, Searchlight, Nevada, engaged
in employment related to the production of gold and silver dore’
at the Castle Mountain mine.
At the request of a company official, the Department
reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm.
Information contained in the record and noted in the decision
document shows that the mine expands into San Bernardino County,
California. The company reports that workers of the mine in
California, specifically Ivanpah, are being separated from
employment.
It is the Department’s intent to include all workers of
Viceroy Gold Corporation, Castle Mountain Mine, affected by
increased imports of gold and silver in dore’ bar form.
Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification to
include all workers of Viceroy Gold Corporation, Castle Mountain
Mine, Ivanpah, California.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-39,592 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Viceroy Gold Corporation, Castle Mountain
Mine, Searchlight, Nevada, and workers of MK Gold Company
engaged in employment related to the production of gold and
silver in dore’ bar form at Viceroy Gold Corporation, Castle
Mountain Mine, Searchlight, Nevada (TA-W-39,592); and all
workers of Viceroy Gold Corporation, Castle Mountain Mine,
Ivanpah, California (TA-W-39,592A), who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after June 20,
2000, through August 7, 2003, are eligible to apply for
adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of
1974."
Signed at Washington, D.C., this day of January, 2003.

Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance
In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
USC 2273) as amended by the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act
of 1988 (P. L. 100-418), the Department of Labor herein presents
the results of an investigation regarding certification of eligi-
bility to apply for worker adjustment assistance.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a
certification of eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance
each of the group eligibility requirements of Section 222 of the
Act must be met. It is determined in this case that all of the
requirements have been met.
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
received on July 9, 2001 and filed by the company on behalf of
workers at Viceroy Gold Corporation, Castle Mountain Mine,
Searchlight, Nevada (the mine is located 18 miles South on Walking
Box Ranch Road, San Bernardino County, California). The (including
miners) workers were engaged in the production of gold and silver
in dore’ bar form. The workers are not separately identifiable by
product line.
The investigation revealed that subject firm sales, production
and employment declined during the relevant period.
The investigation further revealed that aggregate U.S. imports
of gold increased significantly, while U.S. production of gold
declined during the relevant period.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the investi-
gation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles like or
directly competitive with gold contributed importantly to the
decline in sales or production and to the total or partial
separation of workers of that firm. In accordance with the
provisions of the Act, I make the following certifications:
"All workers of Viceroy Gold Corporation, Castle Mountain
Mine, Searchlight, Nevada (the mine is located 18 miles South
on Walking Box Ranch Road, San Bernardino County, California)
who became totally or partially separated from employment on
or after June 20, 2000, through two years from the date of
certification are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance
under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974."
