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..

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
