Bond needed to clean up old gold mine,
Corvallis, OR Gazette-Times, posted
to KBC 5/20/08. "Atlanta
Gold said requiring a bond for its
voluntary effort to clean up
arsenic-laced water from an old mine is
an unfair infringement of its right to
mine on public lands under the 1872
Mining Act.
We are offering to do this voluntarily
and we are being penalized for it..."

Greene.
"Here is a heads up to all you miners that are
not following what is going on in the
California State Legislature regarding mining.
There has been way too much relevance put on a
report by Mark Humphries that said about 2% of
the mercury run through a suction dredge is
lost. The science is flawed. But, as typical
in the Socialist State of California that is
not politically relevant.
And, of course it is the same ugly actor in Lois
Wolk that is spearheading this in the
legislature. It has been shown that she is
not interested in hearing both sides of the
discussion.
If they win the fight this year you would be
wrong to assume it will not effect mining
rights in any State that has residual mercury
from past mining in its sediments. This is a
U.S. mining battle, not just California. This
is just the battle ground the enviros have
chosen."

Go HERE for reports.
The full report, "Mining's Toxic Legacy" can
be found at the following address:
"This report will be
used to stop suction dredge mining using
remobilization of mercury as the new excuse.
So far, everything else has failed. They
have, in this report, tried to link historic
mining and the mercury left behind to
small-scale suction gold dredging."
