Reader Big Mike forwarded this today on the new gold mine threat on upper Rock Creek:
A quick update… They paid the bond and got the test drilling permit. http://missoulian.com/news/state-and-regional/article_7f473e9e-38bf-11e0-a9eb-001cc4c03286.html
This appears to be the real deal and is very worth a call to arms… Much more so than the farce of a “ditch bill†that just passed the house. Dutch Gold has a history of shady dealing and a sordid past of ownership transfers to avoid reclamation. The kicker is that there are rumors floating around that they plan a full scale, highly funded assault on the cyanide leech mining ban in the same time frame as mine development. Please rally the troops! Rock Creek… Far More Precious Than Gold!!!
Big Mike hits the nail on the head. If you read the previous Missoulian article you saw the numbers, “an estimated volume of 7.6 million ounces of gold in the “discovery block,†more than a third of it high-grade oreâ€. If you are in the mining business that is a proverbial “mother lode” and these people are going to play hardball for that kind of money.
If these test holes that they now have a premit for prove out, Rock Creek is absolutely under siege from Dutch Gold Resources, Inc.
