We have two new men we are working with on unbelievable cases in two different states. The first is a man who buys and sells used mining equipment out of his garage along with small samples of minerals he collects on his mining claims in CA. His vehicle was parked in his driveway, on his […]
Happy Constitution Day. We wanted to pose a few questions… What if we could all unite in the small mining community and become a powerful force like the NRA? What if we could all have access to up-to-date information on what is happening with regulations, litigation and other issues? What if we […]
Should miners be allowed to use suction dredges on Southern Oregon rivers that are classified as “essential” habitat for salmon? As we know, suction dredging creates fish habitat, removes toxins and helps the rural economies. Take this poll and be heard. The poll is located in the middle of the page on the […]
Since we have returned from our trip to Idaho we have received an overwhelming number of calls from miners and public land users all across the west with documented problems with the USFS.

Update: Yes folks, we are aware of the article out of Spokane which appears to be distributed by the Lewiston far left media. Our thoughts…pffft. We have given quite a few interviews and you’ll be seeing them shortly. The Lewiston Tribune whom is quite left on their political ideology has written articles on dredging […]
