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! An opportunity lost for me to feed my family and be a part of that community. Not to mention several other local jobs that were not had by locals who sure could have used them and heaven forbid they use some of those classified rocks stacked up around town. That wouldn't make any sense would it?

And the excuses put forth that the citizens said it shouldn't be allowed for....much the same as this fella's comments show.
"it's my backyard"
"it will make too much dust"
"too much truck traffic"
"I walk my dogs there, no one has the right to keep us out, and where would we walk the dog?"


Any real bonafide miner/operation in that community needs support! Their community won't!

Because they're a bunch of stupid greedy wanna-be hippies from the city that have nothing better to do than smoke a #10 can of pot and down half a dozen hits of LSD, thinking they can be "at one with the earth", again.

"it's my backyard"

Really? Then they sure can tend it like thier backyard! Maybe we should start dumping litter and trashed appliances in their swimming pool, then? After all, that is what they do to the BLM land, and they did say it's their backyard....
BTW, any proof they have paid their property taxes on that yet?
Nah, I didn't think so.

"it will make too much dust"

Like the wanna-be hippies from the city know any difference between rock dust and cocaine. Besides, it's gonna be a low dust operation. I've seen 20 mph gusts in Fairplay raise up enough dust from the dirt roads and backyards so that visibility is pretty poor.

"too much truck traffic"

Compared too.....? Tooorist season? Not hardly.

"I walk my dogs there, no one has the right to keep us out, and where would we walk the dog?"

Can always walk their dog somewhere else. If not, I think we can always help a couple families of Hmong move from Colorado Springs or Denver to Fairplay. Then there won't be any problem with any dogs (won't be any left).
