Proposed Mining in Fairplay Options

[Boogie]

Has anyone heard the outcome of Proposed Mining in Fairplay, Colorado. ? I have not been able to find a date of when this might be resolved or what has become of it. I guess he hasn't submitted an application with a mining proposal yet. Now here's a guy who could use some support! I hope he hits bedrock and finds good color!

Yes I agree, this miner can use all our support. Unfortunately the local community there is not miner friendly what so ever (contrary to posts in the article). I've known of this persons planned ops and also the communities efforts to thwart them. This miner has a great spot claimed and his small operation proposed has caused quite a stink amongst the Fairplay residents who think they own the BLM land to themselves.
Even one of the posters within the article (John) who'm I happen to know is just clueless as to what reality is. An electrician who isn't for mining?! Gee, wonder how his field could operate without them?

Show your support folks and let this miner know he does have other miners behind the operation he proposes. It is not a large op he has planned nor will it "hurt" the scenery of Fairplay. In fact most travelers will not even notice his running operation because there are so many rocks piled around town already.....what will look different?

Good luck to him and we hope he DIGS IN SOON! Not sure what he's waiting on since this has been an ongoing subject for at least 4 years that I know of around Fairplay.

For anyone who thinks Fairplay is still miner friendly.....it is not, the community wouldn't even approve a mobile asphalt plant at an exsisting gravel pit several years ago when we lived there and that community action cost me my job!! The asphalt plant went elsewhere. Guess Fairplay has too many jobs available?....NOT!
