yeh all that money they contributed was from us gold miners hunters and anyone who has a claim they dredge on. Where is the money gonna come from once they put all the small miners out of work. Who started to mine cause of some misfortune like a job loss oh yeh sorry they like to call it downsizing.

 

[Astrobouncer]

I agree with Freddy.

Well if they run us all off and don't get all there money they might have second thoughts about the small time miner and loosen the noose and give us a little air to breath. OR NOT LOL

Wow--that should give them pause to reconsider running off the miners.

All the best,

Gosh, I was thinking they make so little from us "small scale miners," that we aren't even a squashed fly on their windshield. I doubt we account for $1-Billion of the $130-Billion..

 

[Lanny in AB]

Just curious, so where does the lion's share come from then?

All the best,

Grazing fees

the tree mills...

Ahh--lots of leasing fees for various types of operations, and over a thousand million dollars from mining. In comparison to the total picture, it is a small amount, but any time anyone wants to give a measly extra thousand million--I'm ready.

All the best,

Lanny

Well,they are pulling our grazing rights too,so they will just either tax us more or completly shut all Public lands down

How's it work out in BC? Are the public lands managed differently?

 

[H-2 CHARLIE]

How is Australia managed ?
English taxes are super crazy so I could only imagine over the pond deals and prices .

Why would they need you and me when they can force you off the land and then really make some bucks by leasing the land to larger foreign companies? Were just a drop in the bucket, and your in there way....

this is a ownership society, owners and administrators make the decisions and have the final say as to use.
