Just over a year ago when we were in Arizona for the GPAA gold show we were contacted by some miners who told us the BLM was closing hundreds of thousands of acres of roads. These were roads off-roaders, miners, hikers, hunters and others used to access their public lands. Uniting everyone against that proposal […]
To: President Donald J. Trump December 25, 2019 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Washington D.C. 20006 Dear President Trump, Firstly, let me thank you for your courage and tenacity in exposing the near coup which surely would have taken place had you, and I emphasize “you” not been elected. I cannot think of any other person who […]
We received this email from our good friend Tom Kitchar. Tom has been leading the fight for dredging in Oregon for decades and because Oregon has ignored (in our opinion) federal laws for a long time, the miners are taking it to SCOTUS. Tom Kitchar, Waldo Mining District Here is the recent email from Tom: […]
We thought we’d remind some of you, and introduce some of you to some provisions in our laws which address what options you have with over-zealous federal employees which overstep their authority and violate your rights. Say you are a mining claim owner and apply for a plan of operations (PoO) with the USFS […]
We’d like to tell you about a man we are representing over problems with the USFS in Montana. He picked up two placer claims covering a small dry wash back in 2014 on the side of a mountain. The claims are near the top of this dry wash and rarely see water. The picture […]

We wanted to tell you about a man in another state we are representing and helping with an unbelievable claim (we are not disclosing which state yet). He had a cabin on his patented mining claim bulldozed by the USFS. We have so far determined the claim was originally filed in the early 1900’s […]
We have been working on the annual AMRA dinner movie and if you’ve never seen one, you should. Sasquatch is not likely to make a comeback, but the deer has returned and we have even more new segments….we know you’re going to like them! Over the last few years we’ve had many people show up […]
A Missouri man flew to California, spent two days setting wildfires, then tried to fly home, officials say. He was arrested Monday. Freddie Graham, 68, hopped on a flight from Missouri to San Jose last Thursday, KPIX reported. After renting a car, he spent the next two days setting fires as he drove the “narrow, […]
We are working on a project involving permitting in California and are requesting your help. We are looking for examples in any area (Ag, logging, farming, ranching etc…) where permits are required from a California agency, but not issued for over two years. We obviously have the example of suction dredging and the nearly […]
