Seriously….these rocks are life changing. They are not ours, they are our buddy GoldBay Dave’s. We are going to have them Xrayed for him to determine what the gold conglomeration looks like inside the rock so he can make them into show specimens. Some of these are crystalline gold and are EXTREMELY VALUABLE and rare. […]
Word cannot express how incredibly proud we are of our very own Stacy Serrato, AMRA’s Operations Manager for the past 7 years.

Political ideology is truly destroying our state, and country. For the complete article, which we encourage you to read, click Judicial activism
We did an interesting analysis this morning and for the haters out there….ya, this isn’t necessarily about mining, tough. Our so-called “leaders” on both sides of the aisle voted to send $40,000,000,000 (40 billion) to Ukraine to protect their borders and provide weapons for them to defend themselves, with very little accountability on where the […]
