Happy FLOOD GOLD Season!

After the heavy rains in the west, this summer promises to be one of the best mining seasons for small scale miners in many a year! Here we are on the verge of a great new mining season, and there is still legal work to be done in San Bernardino with the California dredging cases we have been plaintiffs in against the state of California for nearly a decade now. We are never giving up until miners are back in the water!

We are proud to stand with Minerals and Mining Advisory Council (MMAC) to get new legislation in place that will put more teeth in the 1872 Mining Law for the miners. To that end, MMAC has been working hard, meeting with many movers and shakers in Washington DC for a week in February and another week in March. That is very important work which when completed, will benefit all miners, mining districts, mining companies and of course, all of America.

Everyone likes a little good news, right? The tide is turning… these California miners just won a HUGE case against Sacramento County, CA. Over $100 Million awarded! That decision should give the scheming thieves a reason to think twice before they roll any more miners! Read the Sacramento Bee article HERE.

PLP has been very busy working for our membership, not only supporting the work MMAC is doing on behalf of us all, keeping the dredging cases up, paying ongoing bills, speaking and raising funds at a great Gold Show in Quartzsite Arizona a few weeks ago. We wish to thank the sponsors of that show (including Richard Trusty),and say a hearty “Thank you!” to everyone for such a warm welcome by vendors and the public alike. We continue to be busy educating and helping miners with various issues around the country.  We are working tirelessly to make PLP great again, putting the miners donations back to work that were frozen as a result of nefarious actions on the part of former (resigned), board members and others. To that end, PLP recently filed legal action against Pat Keene, Ray Kender, Barry Wetherby, Dwayne Platz, Mitchell Noble and Does 1-50. You can read the entire complaint HERE.

As you know, it takes all of us doing a little to accomplish a lot! You can do your part to help us Take It Back And Keep It by renewing your supporting PLP membership, and if you are able, make a donation above your normal membership to help us make the extra push to support the Mining District revival. The power of the mining districts is truly beginning to be realized in Congress. Let’s pull together and show the politicians we are united in our cause! You can find out more about it here: www.mmacusa.org  

We are continuing to fight for miner’s rights, and  until next time, Let’s Keep Taking it Back while we Make Mining and Multiple Use Public Land Great Again!

President
