From Mining.com Lots of new fees for hardrock miners in BLM budget
Watch out folks, this highly stupid current administration believes it can just take YOUR OWNERSHIP of our lands!   Write your reps soon and repeatedly if needed about this proposal. The BLM does not own the land nor do they have any "delegated authority" to claim such legally. Just read it in this current proposed wording....."existing metal mining claims will not be affected, but they can volunteer to go on the "lease" system if they wish"  Don't be fooled, who in their right mind would voluntarily give up their full "ownership" of minerals so they could then pay a royalty on extraction of the same?! WTF!   Seems like a big NO brainer to me!  Write those reps and give em' the what fer'!  This budget proposal is ludicrous! Much of it must be removed or kill the bill!   I've just updated the pinned thread in valuable reference today for easily finding and contacting your reps! Pass the word and the link!

Dan, if they are illegally taking what is not theirs, can they really expect to take any action against us for us complying with the law?
I don't see how they can force me to lease anything when they hold no ownership rights to it. This is a case I'd lose to see in court! -------------------- Today's socio-political climate is rock solid proof that Adam and Eve weren't prospectors.
If they were they'd have eaten the snake instead of the apple and we'd still be in heaven.... |
