We have received an overwhelming response to our post yesterday about President Trump’s Executive Order eliminating the WOTUS (Waters Of The United States) power grab by the EPA. Let’s clear a few things up here; First, the EPA did not have the Constitutional authority to do this rule in the first place as […]
With the stroke of a pen today, President Trump just neutered the EPA’s totalitarian dream of controlling every river, lake, mud puddle, ditch and rain gutter in America. This will have positive effects for small miners. Many may recall we stood up to the EPA for several years in Northern Idaho on the SF Clearwater […]
Does a suction dredge grind fish? NO. We shot this very short video for our presentation during the California Water Board permitting scheme as a result of SB637. It was presented on behalf of the small mining community. A few things to remember: A suction dredge removes 98% of the mercury from waterways. A suction […]
When John Keady, independent miner and owner of Rock Chuck in Schurz, received a certified letter dated Jan. 27, from the United States Department of the Interior – Bureau of Land Management (BLM) out of Reno, he never dreamt it would be declaring his Last Chance Mine in the Mount Diablo Meridian of Mineral County […]

We want to thank everyone who attended these meetings and provided input. A special thank you to Craig Lindsay of Western Mining Alliance for disputing the […]
Jim Foley, a New 49’er and longtime miner and outspoken advocate for small mining delivers a fantastic speech up in Siskiyou County. Thank you Jim, well done. http://www.siskiyoudaily.com/article/20170216/NEWS/170219802 Jim Foley asks for help from Trump’s administration

This is Craig Lindsay of Western Mining Alliance (WMA) and he destroys the “Fleck report” which the Dept. of Fish and Game used to justify the ban on mining. It wasn’t just flawed, it was intentionally manipulated to obtain the outcome they wanted. Well done Craig.

We support you Brandon, completely and support PLF for taking your case. http://blog.pacificlegal.org/plf-asks-supreme-court-review-challenge-californias-mining-ban/
In the Seattle Times… This is written by a Soros funded, far left radical environmental group, the Center for Biological Diversity. Published by the Seattle Times and isn’t just false, it is outright propaganda against the small miners. CBD has perfected the art of sue and settle and will do anything, and we mean […]
