DFG and suction dredging in CA right now: We have spent an inordinate amount of time today on the phone with DFG. Enforcement division, public relations division, legal, and finally with the Public Information Officer.

Update on AMRA claims and other stuff: As many of you know, we sent a team out to Nevada to mine a few prospects we were provided with and wanted to thank Ken and his crew for mining this. They really did a detailed and thorough job of prospecting this. Unfortunately, it did not meet […]
