As you are undoubtedly aware, many management and regulatory agencies are going full speed to stop suction dredging. The USFS is no different and has proposed a new scheme to restrict the number of dredges they will allow in Northern Idaho down to just a handful. They are claiming they need to do this […]

This is an important debate folks, the opposition to mining continually spews out propaganda on suction dredging and your voice needs to be heard. We will continue to represent the small mining community with the truth, the science and the facts. For the […]
AMRA is pleased to announce two additional claims. ‘Shining Dawn’ on the SF of the Clearwater in Idaho downstream from Forgotten Patriot, and ‘Snoop’s Gold’ a few miles west of Randsburg, CA.
