However, you may not be aware that suction dredge mining is currently regulated with respect to endangered and threatened species, with seasonal and size restrictions that prevent harm to these species. Suction dredge mining has been subjected to many studies that indicate this activity not only is de minimis to fish and their habitat under current regulations, but this is the only activity that occurs in our state waters that provides mitigation.1

Suction dredge mining creates dissolved oxygen and breaks up compacted gravels, creating the spawning areas, holes and cooler waters necessary for a healthy fish population. The DFG spends millions of dollars to create this same scenario for spawning fish.2

Suction dredge mining removes harmful lead, mercury and man-made debris from our waters. Washington has set up a program, in cooperation with suction dredge miners, to collect harmful metals and debris. Over a 12-month period the Washington Department of Ecology took possession of over 150 lbs. of mercury that had been recovered by suction dredge miners.3

Waterborne Carbon Increases Threat Of Environmental Mercury
ScienceDaily (Dec. 11, 2007) — Mercury is a potent neurotoxin and a worrisome environmental contaminant, but the severity of its threat appears to depend on what else is in the water.

Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have found that the presence of dissolved organic material increases the biological risk of aqueous mercury and may even serve as an environmental mercury source.
Mercury is present throughout the environment in small quantities in rocks and in watery environments, including lakes, wetlands and oceans. It accumulates in fish living in mercury-contaminated waters, posing a health risk to animals and humans who eat the tainted fish.
The greatest threat comes from a form called methylmercury, which is more easily taken up by living tissues. The methylation process, therefore, is key to understanding the potential danger posed by environmental mercury, says UW-Madison geomicrobiologist John Moreau.
He presented his research findings at the American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco today (Dec. 10).
Environmental mercury is predominantly methylated by naturally occurring bacteria known as sulfate-reducing bacteria. These bacteria - Moreau calls them "little methylmercury factories" - absorb inorganic mercury from the water, methylate it and spit methylmercury back out into the environment.
"The bacteria take mercury from a form that is less toxic to humans and turn it into a form that is much more toxic," Moreau says. "[Methylation] increases mercury's toxicity by essentially putting it on a fast train into your tissue - it increases its mobility."
Many previous studies have focused on the chemical interactions between mercury and sulfur, which is known to bind to inorganic mercury and may regulate how well the bacteria can absorb it. However, scientists do not understand the factors that control the methylation process itself.
"Those studies have related methylation potential to geochemical variables," Moreau says. "We would like to take a bacterium that we know methylates mercury very efficiently and let it tell us what it can methylate and what it can't, under given conditions."
Moreau and colleagues at the U.S. Geological Survey, UW-Madison, the University of Colorado and Chapman University chose to look at the role of dissolved organic carbon (DOC), a richly colored brew created as plants and other organic materials decay into a soup of proteins, acids and other compounds. DOC can tint wetlands and streams shades of yellow to dark brown.
DOC has noticeable effects on bacterial mercury processing. "They seem to methylate mercury better with DOC present," says Moreau.
In the current studies, the scientists looked at the effects of DOC samples collected from two different organic-rich environments, a section of the Suwannee River and Florida's Everglades.
"We found that different DOCs have different positive effects on methylation - they both seem to promote mercury methylation, but to different degrees," Moreau explains.
Because DOC is virtually ubiquitous in aqueous environments, its effect on mercury processing may be an important factor in determining mercury bioavailability.
Moreau and his colleagues are now working to understand how DOC promotes methylation. One possibility is that DOC acts indirectly by increasing bacterial growth, while another is that DOC may directly interact with the mercury itself to boost its ability to enter bacteria.
Although mercury already in the environment is there to stay, Moreau says an understanding of what regulates mercury toxicity is critical for developing ecosystem-level management strategies.
"Strategies to deal with methylmercury production [should] lead to hopefully more efficient ways to reduce human consumption of methylmercury and lead to less potential human health problems," he says.

In late September 1977 a local air taxi operator sighted a large shark stranded on a beach 16 miles southwest of Ketchikan, Alaska. Fisheries biologist Robert Larson examined the shark on 30 September 1977. The adult male White Shark was 15 feet 4 inches in total length. Upon dissection of the shark's stomach about ""***100 opaque circular objects were discovered, each about 0.25 inches in diameter. John E. Fitch, Research Director, California Department of Fish & Game, Long Beach, subsequently identified them as lenses from fish eyes, most probably salmonids.***"" The number of lenses present in the shark's stomach suggests that fish might provide a larger percentage of adult White Shark nutritional requirements than previously thought. Although White Sharks appear to prefer pinnipeds (seals and sea lions) as their main staple after attaining maturity, they still consume fish. This fact has been overtly omitted, or frequently understated, over the last two or three decades by some White Shark researchers. The irrefutable evidence from this stranding tells us that adult White Sharks are apparently opportunistic predators and will readily take any prey species that is available.

AYES: Pavley, Benoit, Kehoe, Leno, Padilla, Simitian,
Wiggins, Wolk
NOES: Cogdill, Hollingsworth, Huff

SENATE APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE : Senate Rule 28.8

SUBJECT : Vacuum or suction dredge equipment

SOURCE : Author

DIGEST : This bill imposes a temporary moratorium on the
granting of new suction dredging permits until the ongoing
environmental review is certified. It provides that the
issuance of permits is not a ministerial act, and that,
therefore, such permits may not be issued until a valid
underlying environmental document is in place.

ANALYSIS : Under existing law, the Fish and Game Code
prohibits suction dredging except when permitted by the
Department of Fish and Game (DFG) and when consistent with
regulations adopted by the department. The statute
requires the regulations to designate streams where dredges
may be operated pursuant to a permit, streams where
dredging is not allowed, and the time or times of year when

dredging is allowed.

Permit fees for residents are established at $25(47.00 )*unless a
site inspection is necessary in which the fee is $130.(194.00 ADDITIONAL)* The
respective non-resident fees are $100(185.25)* and $220. (222.00 ADDITIONAL)*
Approximately 3000 permits are issued annually.
*LIES YOU NEED TO CHECK THE FEES*

It is illegal to use a suction dredge within 100 feet of a
closed area.

This bill imposes a( temporary) moratorium on the granting of
( new) suction dredging permits until the ongoing
environmental review is certified. It provides that the
issuance of permits is not a ministerial act, and that,
therefore, such permits may not be issued until a valid
underlying environmental document is in place.

Background

According to a recent report by the Sierra Fund, an
estimated 26 million pounds of mercury were used to extract
gold from ore in California. Half of this mercury was lost
in the environment in placer and hard rock mining
operations where it remains in watersheds where it is
commonly encountered. Mercury runoff from these watersheds
is a source of mercury contamination of the California
Bay-Delta.

Suction dredgers remove gravel from riverbeds with a hose
powered by an engine. The water quality controversy
involves what opponents characterize as the "tendency" of
dredging operations to "flour"(THIS DOES NOT OCCUR) mercury in the water, making
it more readily available for bacteria to methylate, a
process that converts base mercury into a (developmental
neurotoxin) (NAME IT?) that accumulates in the food chain and that
humans ingest through fish that they consume. (WE TAKE OUT THE MERCURY)(ALONG
WITH LEAD FISHING WEIGHTS)

Dredgers may try to separate mercury from any amalgamated
gold, and the recovered mercury is then either stored or
disposed of in an unauthorized (SAYS WHO)manner. Storage of mercury
is subject to regulation also, but there is no available
information from state agencies that mercury obtained by
dredgers is regulated. (THEY WOULD BE REGULATED JUST THE SAME AS OTHER AMERICANS)

Dredging permits issued by DFG state that the applicant
will comply with all appropriate water quality regulations.
However, the State Water Resources Control Board does not
have a program to regulate suction dredging.
The board(WHAT BOARD?) found, however, in a 2003 study, (REFERENCE THE STUDY) that dredging
exacerbates mercury contamination of rivers and streams.

OPPOSITION : (Verified 5/11/09)

ARGUMENTS IN SUPPORT : Friends of the River supports the
bill but believes the temporary moratorium should be
expanded to include more than salmon streams.(SB760 COVERS ALL RIVERS,OBVIOUSLY THEY DID NOT READ THE BILL.) It believes
that suction dredging affects wild and scenic rivers, wild
trout populations, other wildlife, and river-based
recreational opportunities.

Many supporters categorize suction dredging as a rather
crude technology by which miners "literally vacuum up our
river beds and spawning grounds, and disturb and mobilize
the mercury left behind by gold mining operations" as was
stated in several letters. All of the supporters agree
that the rules governing this practice are outdated.

Sierra Club California and Pacific Coast Federation of
Fishermen's Associations point to the ban on commercial
salmon fishing and argue that the salmon crisis threatens
thousands of jobs. Sierra Club California concludes that
"It simply does not make sense to jeopardize an entire
fishery, and to ask commercial fishermen to sit idle, while
allowing ongoing environmental harm for a recreational
hobby." WHAT ABOUT THE DAMS?HOW DO THEY HELP THE SALMON.

ARGUMENTS IN OPPOSITION : The Regional Council of Rural
Counties argues that the existing regulations are
sufficiently restrictive and protective and allow
individuals to legally mine their claims of precious
minerals. It points to parts of rural California where
mining remains an important port of the culture, history,
and economy of some local communities. Siskyou County
separately asserted these same concerns.

The New 49'ers, a mining advocacy group, argues that no
scientific information points to suction dredging as a
cause in the collapse of salmon, that the collapse is due
to ocean conditions and an over-reliance on hatchery fish,
and that a moratorium would violate the private property
rights of those who have federal mining claims and create
"takings" liability on the part of the state.

**** END ****

AGAIN OUR LEGISLATORS FAIL TO READ A BILL (SB 760) THAT THEIR SO EAGER TO PASS. CLOSING ALL THE RIVERS TO SUCTION DREDGEING WILL NOT HELP THE SALMON. ESPECIALLY THE ONES THAT FLOW EASTWARD FROM THE EAST SIDE OF THE SIERRAS. NOR WILL IT DO MUCH ON ALL THE WESTERN FLOOWING RIVERS THAT ARE DAMED UP WITHOUT FISH LADDERS. THE KERN RIVER FOR EXAMPLE HAS NO WAY IN HELL FOR A SALMON TO SWIM UP STREAM FROM THE OCEAN. WE HAVE NO MONEY TO KEEP PRISONERS IN JAIL, YET WE WILL FUND A STUDY AND CRIPPLE AN INDUSTRY THAT PROVIDES 60 MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR TO OUR CALIFORNIA ECONOMY. TO MY KNOWLEDGE A EVNVIRONMENTAL REPORT ON SUCTION GOLD DREGING WAS COMPLETED BY THE STATE IN 1994.DREGERS TAKE OUT MURCURY AND LEAD FROM THE RIVERS WICH ARE FAR MORE DETRAMENTAL TO OUR ENVIRONMENT. IF WE HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO WASTE IN OUR BUDGET PERHAPS A SELECT GROUP OF RIVERS THAT HAVE SALMON WOULD BE A BETTER CHOICE. YOU GUYS MIGHT WONDER,WHY WE HAVE LOST FAITH. ***

California Madness

Opening comment from Jim Sinclair:

"Fire the politicians. Keep the prisoners."

When you hear of a three judge judge panel, WATCH OUT! Some years back a three judge panel reversed a jury's judgement against the Bank of America that was at the time the largest jury award to plaintiffs against a US corporation.

California bill would free more than 27,000 inmates

(CNN) — A controversial bill that California legislators say would allow the early release of more than 27,000 inmates from crowded prisons will be taken up by the state Assembly on Monday.

The Senate on Thursday passed the corrections package 21-19, after Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, D-Sacramento, assured senators the changes would protect the public from the most violent offenders.

The legislation also would direct more resources toward parolees, he said.

Senate Republicans say the bill would undermine public safety. All 15 Senate Republicans voted against the measure.

Both houses of the legislature are controlled by Democrats.

Consideration of the bill comes as California faces a mid-September deadline for reducing its prison population by about 40,000 inmates. A special panel of three federal judges issued the order, contending the crowded prison system violates prisoners’ constitutional rights.

The following information is from Emgold Mining Corporation's website under the section of the Idaho-Maryland Mine dated March 2008:

The northern portion of the Sierra Nevada Foothills Gold Belt produced 17 million ounces of gold from the mid-1800's to 1956.

California is the largest non-fuel mineral producing State in the US with 590 operating mines contributing $3.7 billion directly to the State economy.

There is a lot of iron on the mine site. You should see the old bone yard up the road. The crew hauled many loads of scrap iron to a site close to Henness Pass where transports will haul the scrap to Sacramento. Too bad the price dropped but there will be $$$ left over costs.

Now get this! Miners save iron stuff. Scoop asked the same thing and one afternoon pointed out iron junk. You should have heard the ear full about this part or that part, this just needs a ??? and it goes right back to work or Scoops favorite: this has copper, aluminum great hoses look at these valves worth saving and on and on.

A plan is underway to sell useless scrap (junk to many). Scoop will let you know when the first truck load leaves Alleghany.

After the last share holders meeting ,I was really amazed at the amount of steel and stuff left rusting all around the mine. Is there some way the mine could sell all the scrap metal and bring in a little cash just to pay the electric bill maybe? It seems a shame to see all the compressors and equipment just sit there and rust to death. I know that stuff was not cheap to buy.

I just ran into the following and thought it might be of interest to some:

http://www.goldgold.com/legal/670_flash-actionalert.htm

The vote to Ban suction Dredging in California is coming Monday....

We just received word from our lobbyists in Sacramento that Senate Bill 670 (anti suction dredging legislation) will be put up for a vote in the senate this coming Monday, May 18! Because this is moving forward as "urgency legislation," 27 "Aye" votes will be required in the Senate to keep this bill alive. Therefore, if we all act quickly, we have a real chance at defeating this very bad bill. Here is a link to our Action Alert:

http://www.goldgold.com/legal/670_flash-actionalert.htm

Included there, is a link to help those of you in California to locate an email contact form for your State senator. For those of you residing outside of California, our very capable lobbyists have targeted 6 senators for you to direct faxes to. We will need all emails and faxes to get to these senators no later than 12 noon on Monday, May 18. That's only a few days away! Our Action Alert also includes a link to some talking points from which you can copy and paste to create your own messages. Emails should be kept short to prevent them from being rejected by automated electronic filtering! Please remember that your own names and addresses must be included with any messages that you send. I am sorry this is happening on such short notice. It's the way things are when our adversaries control the legislative process! We can still win this battle though; but only if we all pitch in right now and make our voices heard to these senators by noon, this Monday! Thanks for whatever you can do to help!

They have studies up the Wazo that Small mining dredging actually cleans the gravel, cleans the Mercury from natural and historical deposits,
It's good for fish and spawning beds. And it helps local economies.
If you have access to a Fax....pop off a short missive.

www.midasletter.com - an excerpt

The wheels of the perception management apparatus are turning at full speed, as evidenced by the audacious spin chief propaganda-meister Bernard “Tokyo Rose” Bernanke put on more bad economic news following another disastrous day in global markets.

He says the recession will end this year.

The utter ridiculousness of such a statement in the face of rising global unemployment, massive monetary inflation, and collapsing banks is testimony to the fact that the self-delusional government and financial industry psychology that incubated and unleashed the present financial catastrophe is alive and well. As long as these arrogant economic narcissists man the helm of our common financial ship, any hope for real solutions and genuine reversal is dim at best.

Why even George Soros and Nouriel Roubini, two other economic media darlings offered direct contradiction to Bernanke’s blather.

Soros said last week that the world financial system has essentially disintegrated, and added that there is yet no prospect of resolution to the crisis. He classified the turmoil as more acute that during the Great Depression, and compared the present economic conditions to those surrounding the destruction of the former Soviet Union.

"We witnessed the collapse of the financial system," Soros said at a Columbia University dinner. "It was placed on life support, and it's still on life support. There's no sign that we are anywhere near a bottom."

Former U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker agreed. He suggested productivity around the world was uniformly decaying, and that the rate of decay had surpassed that of the United States in many cases.

"I don't remember any time, maybe even in the Great Depression, when things went down quite so fast, quite so uniformly around the world," Volcker said.

Nouriel Roubini, one of the few economists who foretold much of the current financial turmoil, on Friday said the United States is nowhere near the end of the banking and credit crisis.

"We are still in the third and fourth innings," Roubini told Reuters in an interview, using a baseball analogy to drive home his view that the current cycle is only nearing its midpoint.

"And it's getting worse," said Roubini, a professor at New York University's Stern School of Business and chairman of RGE Monitor, an independent economic research firm.

Is it the desperation pervading the United States government’s fiscal frontmen that induces Bernanke to make statements so naievely optimistic? Or is it the knowledge that such platitudes have such a calming effect on markets that he would forgo credibility in favour of one day’s respite from freefall?

To move previously mined gold as collectible specimens is an acceptable practice for any mine to gain cash revenue in down times. But in today's market, I don't think it's reasonable to expect these treasures to move at eight times (8x) the spot price. I realize some of these examples have added values due to their art appeal, gross size, sculpted beauty and historical provenance, but you may want to reassess their price points objectively. I too believe you're "sitting on a gold mine" and wish the best of times for the 16-to-1. I additionally hope your other funding connections materialize so you can get back underground. :-)

Bluejay, get a grip! I cannot fault you but please, doom and gloom is selling news casting across the world. I understand your concern. Our finances, our mines and operations are utterly unlike those companies you cited below. The only thing we have in common is we all are gold producers. These companies are selling their mines. Oh how sad for their owners. We are marketing our gold collection not the gold mines.
Our debt can be handled from sales of previously mined gold. Another solid funding possibility is maturing right now that is attractive for working capital and our future. Readers of this FORUM must rest. Doomsday is not in our future. That people with useless money sitting around in lackluster investments who know of the real gold opportunities at the Sixteen to One mine may still be on the sidelines as currencies decline in purchasing power is sad. We (shareholders) are not on the sidelines of the interest in gold. Time will measure the degree of our success as we work towards securing the right funds for the mine. Take a breath. Everyone is having a Tsunami at this moment. Gold is there in our ground, lots of it. We just need to get it. A very competent group of people advises the Sixteen to One.

To the board:

Here's a good example of what happens when outstanding debt starts to consume a mining company:

Van Sun/Reuters say Teck to sell Hemlo interest

2009-02-23 08:54 ET - In the News

Also In the News (C-ABX) Barrick Gold Corp

The Vancouver Sun reports in a Reuters dispatch Saturday that Teck Cominco has agreed to sell its 50-per-cent share of the Hemlo gold operations to joint-venture partner Barrick Gold. The unbylined item says the sale is part of a plan to raise cash and pay down debt. Teck will sell its share of the operation -- located in Western Ontario -- for $65-million (U.S.). Barrick, the world's largest gold producer, already owns 50 per cent of Hemlo. Vancouver-based Teck cut costs and began selling assets late last year to pay down billions of debt taken on to finance last year's $13-billion (U.S.) takeover of Fording Canadian Coal Trust. It agreed to sell its Lobo-Marte gold project in Chile in November and has said its other gold assets would be the first (to) be divested.

We need to turn the gold specimen collection into cash and pay off our debt. Does the board not understand that the whole country is in financial crisis and with our debt we classify as being in line for extended financial trouble going forward?

If the continuing delay in liquidating the collection continues, will someone from the board please inform us how that delay works in our favor?

Unfortunately one of the most compelling stories to unfold over this century concerning the mine was the politically motivated "assassination" of justice perpetrated by the CDAA and subsequently railroaded through by the courts, all of which "impacted" (a most understated description) the momentum of mining.

I don't advocate or suggest this be the focus for a story in the Economist...maybe they'll discover it here.

Anyway, instead let's do the metal detector angle, and show their impact when initially introduced underground, highlighting the potential that still exists in virgin ground.
