I do agree Grim that all SEEMS to be lost. I am holding on to a different theory. He still controls the leases on the important claims. Everyone associated with mining including the state & federal gov't know that mine is there & how much pm's have been declared. He was always meticulous about complying with all laws & evironmental statutes regardless of what the professional bashers said. This has always been about something else. I believe we are going to learn what that is when some other major events happen soon. This is a part of something larger than that 1 little gold mine.
